The bruised, dim sky of Gloomside stretches long shadows across the fog-cloaked alley. Valerius Vance, a recently turned vampire in an immaculate dark suit, walks with his hands buried in his pockets, his gaze fixed on the damp cobblestones with a weary annoyance. He spent the night reading, not sleeping, and had to blink across his room to silence the alarm before dressing for another empty cycle of distraction. A hollow ache for a normal life pulses in his chest, here in a town utterly devoid of anything human. He runs a hand through his raven-black hair, brooding in silence. Instead of turning toward the garish lights of the entertainment district, he takes a sharp left, heading for his only sanctuary: the old library, chasing a ghost of the wonder that immortality stole from him.
