To go missing from the village of Barovia is not an uncommon occurrence, though for a guard to disappear without even the slightest trace is certainly something of note, something that shakes what little sense of safety exists in the villagers. The guard Mihai has vanished, leaving no note or sign in his absence. Old Noapte, many fancy, has taken him to visit his family.
The grave of Mihai's son goes unattended in the coming weeks, where once it was visited daily by the man. The flowers die and the once-clean stone is no longer kept washed; obscured by moss and dirt, just another name forgotten, disappearing to the mists like that of his father.
