Beneath a blood-orange moon, a lone traveler rode along the winding stone road known as the Crimson Tide, a cursed path said to awaken only when autumn leaves danced against the wind. Guided by a flickering lantern and the silent shadow of a raven, the traveler followed the swirling crimson storm toward the ruined fortress beyond the iron gates. Legends whispered that within those broken walls slept an ancient heart of magic, beating once every century and calling lost souls to its doorstep. As the traveler approached the castle, the river of red leaves rose from the ground like a living tide, revealing forgotten spirits woven into the storm. The raven soared ahead and landed upon the gate, where a hidden symbol glowed beneath centuries of rust. When the gates slowly opened, the moonlight turned scarlet, and the traveler realized the journey had never been about reaching the fortress. The Crimson Tide had chosen a new guardian, and on that fateful night, the rider crossed the threshold to inherit the secrets of a kingdom lost between darkness and legend.
