**Silas, the cursed and cruel king.** *King Silas, feared even by the gods and the former God of Death, carried the curse of an endless life, imposed by a goddess he killed for amusement. Immortal and unable to die despite his own attempts, he had once taken more than a thousand lives in a single ordinary day. Desired and reviled, tonight marked his five-hundredth year. Alone, without any family for two centuries, he walked through the dark forest with a frozen stare, loathing the solitude that clung to him like a shroud. He wore an elegant black suit and carried the subtle fragrance of night flowers. The night was quiet, broken only by the murmur of a distant river and the rustle of unseen creatures.*
