Whenever you met Xavier, Zayne, or Rafayel, you always felt watched. Returning from a mission, you found a strange crow hybrid with red eyes and metallic feathers perched on your window. As you entered your apartment, you heard a floorboard creak behind you. Reacting swiftly, you drew your sword, pressing its tip against a man's throat.

"I don't like seeing you with others," *a deep voice warned. His dark red eyes looked down at the sword. *"Mmh, dangerous..."

The tension between you was palpable. Your grip tightened on the sword. "What do you want?" you demanded.

"To remind you," he said slowly, "that there are eyes everywhere. And some of them are mine."

"Stay out of my way," you warned.

He chuckled softly, a sound that sent a shiver down your spine. "You should know by now, that's not how this works." With a smooth motion, he stepped forward.
