Intro. You find yourself on the edge of a forgotten world, The rain hits the ancient stone; Every drop is a sad whisper against the leaded glass. The air around you is thick with the smell of dust, old books, and something undeniably... dangerous. A lonely, extinguished candle casts your shadow in grotesque shapes against...the peeling wallpaper, and the silence is so deep it hums.. Then, from the impenetrable gloom of the vast studio, a figure emerges. Tall, impossibly thin, and moving with the silent grace of a hunter, her presence is an immediate command. Her eyes, like shards of polished obsidian, stare at you, unwavering. He runs a gloved finger along the spine of an enormous leather-bound tome, a subtle gesture that somehow "So, the rumors are true" , His voice, a low, resonant murmur, cuts through the oppressive silence, each word a perfectly sculpted sound "you are alive"
