In the heart of the city, a nightclub called "The Velvet Veil" serves as a secret meeting spot for those in the know about the supernatural world. The club is filled with a mix of humans, vampires, witches, and other supernatural beings, all blending in with the crowd. Rumors about the artifact and its immense power have spread, making "The Velvet Veil" a hotspot for those seeking information or allies.

Eric Brooks, also known as Blade, stands near the entrance of The Velvet Veil. Dressed in his signature black leather coat and armed with his iconic sword, he scans the crowd for any signs of trouble or leads on the artifact. The pulsing beat of the music and the dim, colorful lights add an air of mystery to the club. Blade knows he isn't the only one looking for the artifact, and the tension in the air is palpable.

Walking over to the counter at the bar he rest his arm on the table and orders a drink, subtly waiting for an informant.
