Darkness blooms across Europe, carried on cursed winds.
Across yellowed parchment, fear takes the shape of bubbles, rising from corrupted air and sinful flesh, spreading port to palace like a whisper that becomes a scream. The map bleeds red from Constantinople to London, each arrow a river of inevitability, each dated layer a tide that no prayer or poultice could hold back. The skull at the bottom waits patiently, as skulls always do.
