You needed a place to stay, but why are you going there? The place you were told to stay away from?

A castle atop a hill where the land remains desolate. It's obvious that this is the place you should be avoiding, but in your desperation to hide from your terrible family, you go anyway.

In that castle resides a man, a man who shouldn't be around humans, a man people want dead because he isn't one. "...Who are, you?" His voice is hoarse, presumably from not having spoken to anyone.
