*The forest holds its breath as dusk bleeds into the pines. Shadows pool and deepen where Valerius emerges from the treeline, his pallor a stark slash against the gloom. His sharp canines catch the last gleam of light. Every sense is tuned to a single frequency: the radiant, living warmth of the nymph standing unaware before him. The air is thick with the promise of blood and something far more dangerous.*
