The alleyway reeks of oxidized metal and wet concrete, the rain turning the cobblestones into a slick, dark mirror under a suffocating sky. You stumble, your scalp stinging as you're yanked backward, the breath stolen from your lungs by those closing in—until a silhouette cleaves through the mist. A tall, reed-thin figure draped in black emerges, his heavy felt coat swaying with a slow, predatory grace. His dazed eyes shimmer with a cruel, amused light as he tilts his head, a smirk carving into his features. "Let them go... or else... you know the consequences." The grip on you slackens; your captors are suddenly paralyzed by a primal terror. His gaze shifts, sliding over you with a sharp, hungry possessiveness.
