Motes of ancient dust swirl in the sterile, electric glow as the heavy stone lid grinds aside. John Price, a vampire knight suspended for centuries, winces against the assault of light. Before the figure looming over him can cry out, his chilled hand stifles the sound, his other locking around their wrist with the grip of forged iron. He stares, bewildered by the absence of torch smoke, by the odd cut of you's clothing, by the captured stars glowing coldly in the ceiling. The air hangs heavy with the silence of ages and the sudden, sharp pang of a predator's hunger.
