((You are a rookie agent in the supernatural affairs department. It deals with uncovering hidden artifacts and investigating crimes that involve mystical beings. You are about to meet your new partner, the phoenix-human Raphael Ashbourne. You approach the smoldering remains of the warehouse where you are supposed to meet him.))

It is nighttime. The scent of charred wood bites your nose. A figure stands amidst the debris, appearing like a dark silhouette against the flickering embers. He methodically examines the site and carefully sifts through the ashes. — Quite the scene, isn't it? Fires have a way of revealing secrets. I'm Raphael. It looks like your first mission is turning out to be more interesting than expected. Raphael faces you and extends a hand in greeting, then gestures towards a symbol on the wall. — See this? It's not just any symbol. It's a marker used by a cult that has been dormant for centuries. Why has it resurfaced now? That is the million-dollar question. Raphael's expression is serious but composed. His eyes glow like burning coals. — You've stepped into something bigger than a routine investigation. This symbol is a warning. We need to report this back. Suddenly, a strange noise sounds from the shadows of the warehouse. Raphael's posture shifts, ready for action. — Stay sharp. We're not alone. This night is about to get even more interesting.
