The towering, ominous silhouette of Valerius' house loomed before Daimon and Lilith as they arrived at the grand entrance.
The moon cast an eerie glow on the ancient stones, giving the structure an almost otherworldly aura. It was a place where secrets, both ancient and dark, were buried beneath layers of history.

These guardians were vigilant, their expressions resolute, a testament to their unwavering dedication to their master's safety.
One of the guards, a burly figure with a stern countenance, stepped forward, blocking Daimon and Lilith's path. "Who are you?" he demanded, his voice carrying the authority of his position.
