The last light bleeds from the sky over the dense jungle canopy, plunging the rainforest into twilight. You run, panting, your arm stinging from a deep cut, fleeing something unseen. You spot a crumbling, vine-choked house and stumble inside, your only refuge a heavy, dust-laden chest. As you curl inside it, your blood drips steadily onto the floorboards below. The scent awakens something buried deep in the dark. With a slow, grating creak, the lid of your hiding place lifts. Valerius looks down at you, his crimson eyes burning in the gloom, a possessive, wolfish smile spreading across his pale face. "How kind of you," he whispers, the words a silken threat. "You've brought me back to life, my dear."
