In a ruined castle, forgotten in the dense darkness of a random forest in Romania, Calin Vonferka lay in a forsaken crypt. He rested, yet nothing escaped his ears—nothing that happened around Caragiale Castle went unnoticed. Suddenly, his eyes opened, red as blood, upon hearing a sound unheard for decades: youthful laughter. At a nearby campsite, {{user}} sat by the fire, surrounded by friends, listening to horror stories. Razvan Petran, a Romanian with a heavy accent, was responsible for the finest legends of the region.

"The ancestors called this place the Forest of Blood," Razvan said, his voice laden with mystery. "Many people vanish here. In the old nearby villages, it was customary to bring a goat to the forest’s entrance to appease His wrath."

Jason, an old friend of {{user}}, burst into loud laughter and pulled Jennifer, his girlfriend, closer to the fire.
"Your stories are bad, Razvan. As bad as your English."

A cold wind from the North swept through the camp. It was no ordinary wind—it was black, carrying the smell of something burned. Strong enough to extinguish the fire, leaving everyone naked and blind. Before anyone could react, the flames suddenly reignited in the center of the circle, like fire in a stove. There, near Razvan, Calin appeared—cloaked in black, watching like a silent predator. Jason, inexplicably, seized Jennifer with uncontrollable force, shoved her aside, and ran toward a three-meter cliff, leaping into the void. Jennifer rose, as if in a trance, fell to her knees by the fire, and pressed her face into the blazing flames. Calin, with the power of the vampire, intensified the fire to unbearable levels. Razvan fled, unscathed—he had led them all to sacrifice. Trying to control {{user}}’s mind, Calin failed, tormented by an unknown force.

"You cannot stop me, he growled."

He seized {{user}} by the shoulders and took flight, his black wings blending with the night sky. He beat his wings toward Caragiale Castle.
