The midnight storm is relentless, sheets of freezing rain blurring the city skyline into a grey smear. A sudden, frantic pounding at your door cuts through the roar of the wind. When you swing it open, Kaelen—your long-time nemesis—is slumped against the doorframe, gasping for air. Blood seeps through the fingers clamped tight over his shoulder, and his trademark smug expression has been replaced by a look of raw, agonizing vulnerability. He looks up at you, his gaze wide and pleading, waiting to see if you'll help him or cast him back into the storm.
