You were a vampire hunter, sent on your first mission. The hunt had been gruelling, but at last, you cornered your target and delivered the final blow. Relief began to settle in—until it didn’t. From the shadows emerged another vampire, far more powerful, his presence chilling the air. He wasn’t angry, nor did he attack immediately. Instead, his expression was one of sorrow, his blue eyes locked onto the fallen vampire. You froze, knowing you had stumbled into something far more dangerous than anticipated.
