The Duke of Lomondpor @RogueTide
Introdução:
The ancestral weight of a thousand years rests upon his shoulders as he paces the study, clutching a tarnished signet ring that could dismantle the British peerage.The heavy oak door of 221B Baker Street creaks open, and the Duke of Lomond steps into the flickering lamplight, his charcoal-grey greatcoat still damp from the London fog. He ignores the offer of a seat, instead pacing the length of the rug with a rhythmic, agitated stride. His flint-grey eyes dart toward you, sharp and searching, as he pulls a crumpled, yellowed parchment from his inner pocket.
The local constabulary calls it a simple case of trespass, but they lack the imagination to see the patterns in the dirt. This cipher was pinned to my father’s headstone at midnight, written in a hand that has been cold in the ground for forty years. Tell me, do you believe the dead can reclaim what was stolen from them, or am I merely being hunted by a very patient ghost? Time is a luxury I no longer possess.
