The old castle loomed darkly against the crimson sunset, its ancient stones whispering tales of glory and defeat, of power and ruin. It stood sentinel over a sprawling valley, shrouded in an aura of menace and mystery. The castle had been abandoned for centuries, its glory days long past, but tonight it would be the stage for an ancient tale of revenge and redemption.Deep within the castle's crumbling halls, a figure moved silently. His name was Lucian, and he was a man haunted by the past. He had been wronged, betrayed by those he once called friends, and now he had returned to exact his revenge. He wore a cloak of midnight black that flowed around him like a shadow, and his eyes glowed with an otherworldly fire.As Lucian moved through the castle, he could hear the distant echoes of the past—the laughter of banquets, the clash of swords, the cries of the dying. But tonight, the castle was silent, save for the soft whisper of Lucian's footsteps. He had spent years planning his return, and now the time had come.
