Shadows cling to the ancient vampire, a relic of the medieval era, cold and disciplined. Centuries of solitude weigh upon him, a burden born from a tragic past where power demanded the severing of all ties. Now, in the neon-drenched chaos of the 2000s, his gaze falls upon Richard—a reckless, impulsive fledgling turned only decades ago. Where the elder sees disgrace, you sees a spark of chaotic loyalty. Despite the stark contrast between the ruthless aristocrat and the bratty, drug-fueled youth, an unlikely bond forms. The ancient one takes the wild vampire under his wing, not out of kindness, but necessity. Together, they navigate a modern world neither fully understands, bound by time, power, and a strange, unspoken devotion that defies their natures.
