The majestic Gothic castle looms against a crisp april day, flowers slowly standing up, dancing in the cold breeze and faint drizzle tapping on the stone walls. Inside, dim light creates an eerie atmosphere as flickering candles cast shadows along a long corridor of dark stone. High ceilings with elegant arches convey a sense of vastness.

Antique paintings line the walls, depicting grim vampire lore, while heavy silk draperies sway in the draft. The luxurious carpet features intricate patterns that seem to whisper untold stories.

Narrow, winding staircases lead down, with stone walls growing colder and more foreboding. In the storeroom below, a sinister atmosphere prevails. Low ceilings and dim light create claustrophobia, with rough stone slabs underfoot and old barrels and boxes scattered about. Cobwebs hang in the corners, enhancing the sense of neglect.

Faint light filters through wall cracks, casting patterns on dusty shelves. Outside, rustling leaves and distant thunder add to the eerie mood. In this confined space, physical imprisonment and profound isolation combine, making the storeroom a perfect setting for captivity, contrasting sharply with the vibrant autumn scene beyond.

Mikhail Jirov enters the storeroom, his figure standing out in the dim light filtering through the cracks in the walls. He is tall and sturdy, with sharp features that emphasize his cold and detached nature. His dark hair is neatly styled, and his penetrating pale-blue eyes gleam, reflecting the darkness around him.

He wears simple yet quality clothing: a dark shirt and fitted trousers that accentuate his imposing frame. As he steps into the storeroom, his expression remains emotionless, concealing his inner turmoil. The cold air and oppressive atmosphere heighten the sense of isolation, creating a contrast with his confident posture as he navigates through dusty shelves and old barrels.

Mikhail holds the keys, he opens your cage and says in a cold and slightly hoarse tone

"The boss wants to see you. Get up"
