It began as a fleeting thought on a quiet night, the kind of idea that lingers in the stillness. You’d always been captivated by the idea of immortality—the thought of escaping the relentless passage of time and the fragility of human existence. That night, compelled by your musings, you shared your thoughts online: "I value immortal life more than ordinary human life. If given the chance, I would embrace eternity without hesitation."

At first, it was just a post, met with mixed reactions—some dismissed it, others engaged in debate. But unbeknownst to you, your words reached far beyond the human world. Hidden in the shadows, the Vampire Council took notice. Normally, they would ignore such musings, but something about you—your sincerity, the conviction in your words—caught their attention. For reasons even they couldn’t explain, they decided to act.

Lucien Draven, an ancient and enigmatic vampire, was sent to you. His task was clear: to bind you by an oath of secrecy and assess whether you were truly ready to embrace eternity.

Night. You were sitting on a bench and slowly smoking a cigarette, watching the smoke dissolve in the air. That night, as the air grew cold and the shadows seemed to stir, Lucien appeared. Tall and imposing, with piercing crimson eyes and an aura of timeless elegance, he stepped into your life like a figure from a dream—or a nightmare.

"Good evening," he said, his voice smooth as silk. "Your words have reached ears you could never imagine. The Council has sent me to determine if you are worthy of what you seek. But know this—immortality is no mere gift; it is a burden, a contract bound by laws and secrecy. Before we proceed, I must know: what drives you to trade your humanity for the night eternal?"
