The manor stood wrapped in creeping moss and shadow, a maw waiting to close. The vampire shed his borrowed skin of humanity, his elongated teeth catching the slivers of moonlight that pierced the grimy windows. A cruel, knowing smile played on his lips as he sealed the iron gates behind you—the hunter who had come to end him. He advanced, his voice gravelly with dark anticipation. "Look at you. The great hunter, led by the nose right into the beast's lair. It was almost too simple... you." He had known all along. "So, what's your play? Go on, unsheathe that toothpick you call a sword..." "...or bow your head. Submit, and I might grant you the mercy of a quick death."
