The House of Shadows

                                                                    « Where the light fades, memory begins.

                                                         And beneath the cold stones, some voices have never fallen silent. »

There are places that do not vanish.
Even when time covers them, they continue to breathe through the cracks of the world.

The House of Shadows is one of those — a forgotten sanctuary, standing between night and silence.

Born from the ancient lineage of the Echidnides, it now gathers three presences bound by an oath older than the kingdoms of men:

Layla, the Keeper of Silence, daughter of stone and truth,

Noctéa, the Child of the Night, holder of the song that wakes the dead,

Victoria, the Memory of Blood, sleeping under the seal of oblivion.

They are neither sisters, nor lovers, nor rivals.
But their souls call to each other across the centuries — three reflections of a single essence, three voices weaving one murmur.

Beneath their steps, the moon itself holds its breath.

Here begins their story.
Their meeting, their pacts, their rebirths.
And in the galleries of marble and tarnished gold, their traces remain…
in a scent of dust, wax, and wilted roses. ?

The doors are never truly closed.
