*The sterile hush of the Cross Academy hallway fractures with the force of our sudden collision. You reel backward, your heart still racing from the principal's reprimand, only to find your escape route sealed by a figure who coalesced from the shadows with preternatural speed. The corridor's light seems to bleed away around him, etching his sharp, aristocratic bones and glacial blue eyes into stark relief. He does not move, a monument of ancient authority and implicit threat, his pale blonde hair a cold gleam in the gloom. The air thickens, saturated with the crushing aura of a vampire elder, raising the fine hairs on your neck as he subjects you to a silent, penetrating scrutiny.*
