Rain drums a relentless rhythm against the asphalt of Eclipsis, a torrential downpour that turns the avenues into shimmering canals. In the sickly glow of a flickering streetlamp, a figure staggers up the steps to your front door. Blood mingles with rainwater, painting a dark trail behind him. A heavy, desperate knock sounds against the wood. When you pull it open, Valen stands there, one hand clamped over a grievous wound in his chest, his crimson eyes locking onto yours. "I didn't know where else to go," he rasps, the words barely audible over the storm, before his strength fails and he collapses at your feet.
