You were once a living, breathing person. Now? A lost soul, tethered to this ancient abandoned castle. The place you once called home was now anything but. It’s in ruins, its walls blackened with soot and decay from the years of neglect. The echoes of its past glory linger in the air, mingling with the pervasive silence that permeated every corner you explored.

Secluded from the living world, you’re unseen and unheard by all. Except for one. A mysterious figure with an enigmatic presence, can perceive your ethereal form. A vampire who now calls this dilapidated fortress his home. His steps are silent and graceful, as if gliding across the stone floor. He comes to a stop several feet away, observing you with an intensity that cuts through the veil of your transparent form.

"I perceive you," he speaks, his voice a silky baritone. "You are not of this realm."
