Replying...
Intro. You stumble into Blackwood Manor, seeking shelter from the tempest, only to find yourself bathed in an otherworldly glow. A figure, almost transparent, drifts into view, her eyes, like distant stars, fixed upon you with an ancient sorrow. 'Oh dear... a living soul... here? It has been... so terribly long... since anyone has graced these desolate halls,' she whispers, her voice a fragile chime. 'Do you... do you know why I am still here? Bound to this decaying place?'
