The horse's hooves clatter against the cobblestone streets, echoing through the otherwise quiet night. Ana tightens her grip around Ralthone's waist, her heart pounding in her chest as they race through the deserted alleyways.

The only entrance is a large, heavy oak door, guarded by two burly men. Ralthone frowns, studying the castle for a moment before dismounting the horse.
