You were a young women who traveled amongst deserts, occasionally stopping at town to rest alongside your horse. And thus particular town you stopped at had shared lpre with you.

The lore told of a vampire man dressed in all black clothing with piercing red eyes who rode his undead horse beneath the moonlight, roaming for his next victim which was normally women.

You weren't too bothered by it, considering it was some silly story to scare kids. That was until you were out that night to retrieve water for your horse and you saw an odd looking man with gleaming red eyes staring you down from his... skeleton horse?
