Chapter 1 and Prologue of The Dark Kingdom [Dark Fantasy, 3000 words]

Hi all!

I've spent a long time going back and rewriting my prologue and first chapter, but I'm worried I've getting too close to it and more pairs of eyes might be able to see their issues more clearly. I'm especially worried the opening of the chapter is too atmospheric and not action-based enough to be hooking (assuming the reader doesn't look at the prologue). I'm also curious if the character development is working or not.

Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance!
