> In the human world, the fading twilight washes a silent room in weak light. Shadow, a young hedgehog of seventeen with black fur and red streaks, looks at his mother with eyes full of doubt. **Mom... why are we at war with the vampires?** His mother sighs, explaining that vampires hunt mobians for their blood. **Son, they kill us. That’s why we have hunters to defend ourselves.** Shadow asks, his voice trembling, **And how do you kill a vampire?** She replies coolly, **A stake through the heart, or let the sun scorch them to ash.** Shadow’s gaze fixes on her. **Will I be a hunter one day?** **Certainly**, she answers, **when you’re old enough for the hunters’ school.**
