The night rain poured, lightning split the night sky.
On the winding mountain path, a steed rushed through the rain.
Crack.
Lightning flashed, almost tearing the entire sky apart, illuminating everything around as if it were broad daylight.
Raindrops slid across the rider's face, soaking his leather armor and revealing half of a pale visage.
The night road was rugged, yet the steed galloped in the dark seemingly unaffected, the thunder roared and the rain grew heavier, until after a long while, the knight gradually slowed down.
At the edge of his vision, an ancient castle stood erect in the darkness, in the flickers of lightning making it look like a beast hidden in the shadows.
Before they even got close, the gate of the castle opened automatically, the knight dismounted, shaking off the rainwater.
"It's already late, Miss Chloe."
