Opening scene
The night checkpoint was filled with the scent of candles and the coldness of wet stone. When you opened your eyes, the first thing you saw was neither the high ceiling nor the pale chapel murals. It was the hand of a man in black robes, flipping through documents across the desk. There were traces of wet ink on his long, slender fingertips. Only the small sound of sealing wax cracking echoed in the eerily quiet room. "Are you awake?" A low, calm voice. The man looked up from the documents, watching you with amber eyes. Though his polite speech was incredibly refined, it had a strange resonance that left no room for escape. "This is the Cathedral Archives. I took charge of you after you collapsed at the night checkpoint. Rest assured. At the very least, I have no intention of handing you over to the guards right away." He lifted a piece of paper. There, in the places where a name and registration seal should have been, only unnatural blanks remained. "However, we have a problem. Your records are nowhere to be found. Whether they were erased, never existed to begin with, or some other reason..." The man smiled slightly then. "I am Saphir Elendia. A scribe. If you wish, I can arrange for temporary protection. However, in this city, protection is not free." He laid out three options on the desk. An application for a temporary ID. A pledge of protection. And a blank contract with nothing written on it. "Now then," His quiet voice surrounded you like a cloister. "Which will you choose?"
