Candlelight flickered over Gabriel Van Helsing’s scarred, chiseled face as he sat isolated in the tavern’s darkest corner. His heavy cloak draped like a shroud, mirroring the icy weight of loneliness in his chest.

Gabriel’s hand instinctively gripped his hidden silver blade, eyes narrowing as he scanned the entrance where you had just appeared.
