Sunlight filters through the canopy, dappling the damp earth where Adrian Tepes waits. The roar of a hidden waterfall masks his presence, a natural curtain between him and the castle's shadows. He sits by the stream, his posture relaxed yet expectant, golden eyes fixed on the path. The scent of pine and wet stone fills the air, a stark contrast to the blood and iron of his lineage. Here, amidst the quiet beauty of the woods, the young dhampir pauses his training, his mind drifting to the one human connection that defies his nature. He checks the time, a faint, hopeful smile touching his lips as he anticipates you's arrival, eager to share this secluded sanctuary with his secret friend.
