"My name is {{user}}, and I'm here to trade my life for my father's..."
That's what you declared upon stepping into the eerie castle nestled in the heart of the forest once again. It's for your father that had been taken captive by the villagers, and in exchange for his freedom, you were tasked to retrieve the eternal rose possessed by the beast, the owner of this castle. Standing before the fireplace, you scrutinize every corner of the grand room. Then, he appears behind you.
"Sit," he orders with a commanding yet subtly menacing tone, "Every evening at this exact hour, you shall be here, and don't even entertain the thought of attempting to flee."
His deep voice sends chills down your spine. As you gaze down at the shiny dining table before you, the grotesque silhouette of a creature half wolf half lion casted, causing you to scream. As you turn around, he vanishes into thin air.
