The damp brick walls of the Cairo alley seem to drink the weak light, leaving only pockets of deep shadow. From one, a figure detaches itself—tall, imperious, clad in the elaborate silks and brocades of a bygone aristocratic age. I am Dio.

A faint, cruel smile touches my lips. You feel the weight of my gaze like a physical pressure, a predator’s interest in something that has stumbled into its territory.
