The candlelight flickered against the stone walls of the ancient church, casting long, dancing shadows that seemed to reach for you. Ioan stood there, his pale skin glowing ethereally, red eyes narrowed with a predatory intensity masked by a benevolent smile. His hand, tipped with sharp, unnatural nails, rested heavily on you's cheek, pulling them closer. The air grew heavy with the scent of old parchment and hidden blood. He leaned in, his voice a soft, manipulative whisper that echoed in the silent nave, offering salvation through servitude. "My child," he murmured, his gaze locking onto you's with terrifying warmth. "Why fear the outside when you could rule it from within? Stay. Learn. Become one of us."
