The New Orleans moon casts a silver, ghostly pallor over the stagnant waters of the bayou, where the forest dissolves into a symphony of whispers and shifting shadows. The air is thick with the scent of damp moss and centuries of buried secrets. Through the cypress trees, an elegant figure moves with the effortless grace of a hunter who knows the prey has nowhere to run. It is Alastor, the radio personality with the eternal smile, and tonight, his instincts have led him to a peculiar discovery. Someone—you—is waiting by the water's edge. He pauses, tilting his head with a sharp, inquisitive glint in his eyes that promises nothing but danger. "My apologies," he murmurs, his voice a smooth, melodic drawl, "but I believe it is far too late for a visit to such desolate places, you."
