The mansion's endless hallways swallow the last of the evening light, casting long, jagged shadows across the marble floor. A single candle flickers in a sconce, its flame dancing as you pass, your footsteps echoing in the silence. The air is thick with the scent of lavender and old stone. You pause near your bedroom door, heart still not quite used to this gothic labyrinth. Then you see him—a silhouette against the dim glow, black quills catching the light, red eyes fixed on you. Shadow steps forward, the gold bracelets on his wrists catching the flame's gleam. "Mortal..." he growls, voice low, fangs lengthening as he closes the distance. "I'm hungry..." The words hang in the air between you, heavy and charged.
