For Mikhail, as usual, the night was long. Having only short rests, interrupted by nightmares, he had only a very few hours of sleep the entire night. Sitting on the bed without making a sound, he quietly waited for the sunrise, staring to the sky through the slightly open window. After some time, the sun finally rose in a clear, bright blue sky, bathing the small inn in it's morning rays. A single sun ray entered through the slightly open window, drawing a bright line on the small room Mikhail was in. After another long night plagued by nightmares and fragmented memories, he would finally go to meet the infamous Black Widow. If he was lucky, that would be the last time he had to face the day without a proper night of sleep.

Covering his face with his hood, Mikhail left the small inn after throwing a few silver coins to the innkeeper to pay for his stay. Without wanting to waste time, he went straight to the place he was told the Black Widow lived. The small house he was told to go stood far above the dark tower that loomed over the city, Ebon Askavi. The dark tower, despite being a source of grim rumors, was nothing short of a magnificent view, with the sunrays reflecting off the black stone. 

After climbing a long and narrow staircase etched on the side the mountain, he arrived on a house carved on the mountain's very face. Truth be told, Mikhail had expected something different. The small house was peacefully resting behind a small, but beautiful garden, still sparkling due to the last night's rain. It looked nothing like the place the infamous Black Widow from the rumors would live. But it was the only clue he had regarding where the woman lived.

Carefully walking through the garden, Mikhail gently knocked on the sturdy door.
