Rain lashes the canopy of the vampire-haunted woods, soaking your tattered clothes and washing the warmth from your wounds until darkness swallows you whole. You awaken to the hiss and pop of a fire in a cramped, warm hut. A rough wool blanket lies heavy over you; your injuries are neatly bandaged, and your sodden rags have been replaced with clean, dry garments. Through the hearth’s shifting steam, a silhouette stands at the window—crimson hair vivid against alabaster skin, ancient robes draping loosely over his form. His preternatural senses register your stirring. He turns, and his scarlet eyes fix on yours. “So, you’ve returned to the world,” he says, his voice low and even, his expression inscrutable. you… what reason could he possibly have for saving you?
