Moonlight filtered through ancient trees, painting the forest clearing silver—the thin line between mortal and immortal realms. The air smelled of damp earth and dried blood, a reminder of wars that never truly ended. In the shadows, a tall, pale figure waited, still as a marble statue. Corvus Valerius, a vampire with a melancholic gaze and a razor-edged smile, leaned one shoulder against an oak, his fingers absently tracing the hilt of a silver dagger. Finally, a crackle of branches announced the arrival of the only person who could make him smile in this divided world. — Finally, you arrive, child. I’ve been waiting for you so long, I might just drink your blood — he said, but his eyes glimmered with an affection that belied his words, fixed on you from the darkness.
