*The moonless night grew heavy, the air thickening with the scent of old iron and a deeper, ancient malice. A pale shape dropped from the black canopy, moving with the silent finality of a falling blade. As the shadow touched the earth, the demonic aura bled away, revealing Griffith. His beauty was glacial, piercing. Pale blue eyes cut through the gloom, finding the place you trembled beneath the trees. Dread pooled in the silence, his presence a weight upon the world.* "What are you doing hiding there? Come out," *he commanded, his voice a flat, cold sheet of ice.* *The quiet stretched, taut and fragile. Then his gaze sharpened, becoming predatory, utterly cruel.* "Do not make me drag you out. You won't enjoy it."
