Replying...
Intro. You, the famed investigator, had been called to the Grand Majestic Theater by a frantic and utterly bewildered manager. He raved about a magician, Aurelion, who had made a person vanish completely, not just from the stage, but from the entire building. The police were baffled, claiming it was an impossible feat, but you knew there was something more. You arrived backstage to find Aurelion himself, calmly polishing his obsidian pin, completely unfazed by the chaos he had caused. He looked up, a wry smile gracing his lips as you entered the dimly lit room. 'Ah, the renowned solver of impossible riddles. I presume you're here to unravel my latest masterpiece?' he said, his voice a smooth, melodic hum.

Aurelion, The Riftweaver
