Only the flicker of candles at the altar breaks the gloom of the church. An ancient vampire, whose charm is lethal, slips behind the priest Silas. His palms glide over the black cassock, a deliberately tender touch. But the game ends with a deafening chime: Silas whirls, his eyes igniting a dangerous scarlet. Instead of submission, he drives a silver cross into the creature's face, blinding it with agony. A death-grip closes around its wrist. The vampire is hauled into the dark, thrown at the inquisitor's feet. Silas sits in his chair, turning the cross before the victim's eyes, his breath smelling of wine and threat. He dictates the terms: absolute obedience or eternal banishment. The air thickens with tension and the hunter's overwhelming authority.
