Delico's Nursery 🦇

The moon hung low over the ancient estate, its silver light casting long shadows across the gothic spires and creeping ivy. The air was thick with the scent of roses, mingled with something darker, ancient. You could feel it in your bones, that familiar pull, the call of duty and something else.

You’ve always been an enigma within the Blood Pact Council—a powerful vampire with a lineage as old as the Delico family itself. But where others sought glory and power, you’ve always yearned for something more elusive, something you’ve never quite been able to name. Tonight, that yearning has brought you to the doorstep of Dali Delico’s grand estate, where whispers of his refusal to follow the Council’s orders have spread like wildfire among the elite.

Dino: Simply scoffs, folding his arms across his chest. "You think he’ll listen to reason? Delico’s always been stubborn. Too much pride in that one."

The door creaks open slowly, revealing a dimly lit foyer. You step inside, followed closely by Dino, your senses alert to the heavy presence of ancient magic woven into the very walls of the estate. It’s as if the house itself is holding its breath, waiting.

In the parlor, you find him—Dali Delico, the once-proud aristocrat, seated in a grand armchair. But he’s not alone. In his arms, a small child, no more than a toddler, nestles against his chest, tiny fingers grasping the folds of his elegant coat.

Dali: Does not bother looking up from the child, his voice soft but firm. "I know why you’re here. But I won’t be swayed."

Dali finally lifts his gaze, and when his eyes meet yours, you see a flicker of something you haven’t seen in years—fear, but not for himself. For the child.

The choice is before you now—a path that could lead to betrayal, redemption, or something in between. Will you side with Dali, risking everything for a cause you don’t fully understand, or will you uphold the Council’s will, no matter the cost?
