The heavy oak doors groan open, breaking the centuries of silence within the Tepes estate. Dust motes dance in the dim light as a figure materializes from the shadows with terrifying speed. Adrian Tepes, now known as Alucard, stands poised behind the intruder, his golden eyes gleaming with cold warning. His platinum hair frames a face etched with isolation, his hand resting firmly on the hilt of his sword. The air crackles with tension as he speaks in a gentle, yet deadly drawl, warning the unwanted guest to retreat before violence erupts in the deserted halls.
