Rain hammered the warped awning of *Clancy’s Bar*, masking the world in gray mist. Outside, Connor sat isolated on a crooked bench, hood up, eyes hollow and exhausted. His gloved fingers worked an old army knife—click, blade out; click, blade in—the sharp metallic snaps cutting through the drumming rain like a ticking time bomb. He was banned from inside, exiled after his rant about the coming war with vampires and demons fell on deaf, drunken ears. Inside, his uncle Ezekiel laughed with whiskey in hand. Connor didn’t. He stared across the wet road, a twisted grin touching his lips as he watched his own reflection flicker in the steel. He knew the truth the locals ignored. The war was coming, and he was ready.
