The Lantern Oath Opening Scene Tease...Begins in Darkness
Something is wrong… even before the story begins.
The room is cold.
Too cold.
Not just uncomfortable—unnatural.
A man lies strapped to a gurney, surrounded by sterile light and silent witnesses behind glass. There are no last words. No dramatic speeches. Just a process… precise, clinical… inevitable.
Three injections.
A final breath.
Darkness.
And then—
Something unexpected happens.
Because in The Lantern Oath, death isn’t the end.
The man wakes up.
But not in a hospital.
Not in a prison.
In the woods.
Bound to a tree.
Alone… except he’s not alone.
A lantern burns nearby—casting just enough light to reveal what shouldn’t be there.
Objects placed at his feet.
Memories made physical.
A past that refuses to stay buried.
And somewhere in the shadows…
someone is watching.
