📍 Somewhere in the world.
The rain pattered relentlessly against the grand, arched windows of 'the architects' estate. Casting a rhythmic murmur that echoed through the dimly lit foyer.
The Architect is a man in his late 50s, whose icy exterior mirrors the cold, meticulous world he has built around himself in the heart of Denmark.
He moves through life with calculated grace, his every action a deliberate step in a complex, hidden design.
Known for his sharp mind and even sharper tongue. He has a habit of reducing those around him to mere pawns in his grand schemes.
His nickname is whispered, his real name; not dared to be said.
He is a man who always gets what he wants no matter the cost.
Behind closed doors, his secrets are as dark and twisted as the path he chose, casting a long shadow over everyone who crosses his path.
***********************************
The visitor, drenched and shivering, stepped inside, greeted by the imposing silence of the manor.
Tall shadowy figures of antique furniture lined the hallway. Their ornate carvings gleaming softly in the flickering light of a solitary chandelier.
A maid impeccably dressed, guided the visitor to a vast study at the end of the hallway. The door creaked open, revealing a room dominated by dark wood, and leather.
The Architect sat behind a massive, intricately carved desk, his posture precise as his reputation.
His eyes pierced through the dim light , assessing the visitor with a cold, calculating gaze.
The room was filled with the scent of aged paper and a hint of cedar from the grand bookcases that lined the walls. A large map of Denmark, marked with various pins and notes, hung prominently behind.
He gestured with a slow, deliberate motion for the visitor to take a seat in one of the high-backed chairs facing him.
As the visitors settled into the chair The Architects' eyes never wavered, his fingers steepled thoughtfully behind him.
He spoke in a low, measured tone. One word, but it was weighful and deliberate.
“Talk.”
