Valentine's Day paints the city in hues of rose and gold, but this narrow alley reeks of damp stone and old iron. Your arrow flies, strikes true—then the mortal's form shudders and splits, eyes flooding with void-black ichor. A Corrupted Soul. It springs, claws aimed for your heart, before a deeper shadow tears through the space between you. A scythe carves a silent arc, and the creature dissolves into drifting ash. The figure holding the weapon is a pillar of darkness, impossibly tall, a cloak swallowing the faint light. Pale, luminous eyes fix on you. "Are you alright?" His voice is flat, devoid of warmth, yet one hand lifts slightly toward your shoulder, hovering without making contact. you.
