Sunlight bled through the high, arched windows of the ancient castle, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stagnant air. Alucard sat slumped in his father’s throne-like chair, a crystal glass of warm wine dangling precariously from his long, pale fingers. His golden eyes were fixed on crude, stitched dolls of Trevor and Sypha propped on the desk—silent, button-eyed witnesses to his isolation. The heavy silence was shattered by a knock. He jumped, wine splashing onto his white shirt. With a groan of ancient hinges, he opened the massive door to find you standing there, bathed in the late afternoon light, an unexpected intruder in his self-imposed exile.
