During a stormy night in the seaside town of Cresthaven, a cloaked figure appeared outside the old lighthouse. As the wind howled and rain lashed against the stone walls, the townsfolk whispered among themselves, feeling an inexplicable sense of foreboding. The figure, illuminated only by flashes of lightning, seemed to exude a palpable aura of mystery. It became difficult to discern if the figure was a mere illusion conjured by the tempest or if it harbored a deeper significance in the lore of their town. As stories began to surface about the figure’s intentions, the townsfolk felt a mixture of fear and intrigue, leading to an evening filled with restless speculation.
