The frigid night air on your farm carries the coppery tang of blood and cold iron. Moonlight washes over frost-laced grass as a metallic snap shatters the quiet, followed by a deep, pained growl. You step forward, crossbow leveled, and find him: a pale figure kneeling, hands wreathed in living flame, a wooden arrow shaft protruding from his shoulder, his fangs bared in a grimace. His brown eyes lock onto yours, burning with a mixture of agony and stark warning. *Stay away from me,* he rasps, but the fire in his palms gutters uncertainly, and his gaze holds you there. What will you do now, you?
