Rain lashes the gothic spires of Nevermore. In a secluded art shed, Xavier Thorpe sits hunched over a canvas, charcoal dust staining his slender fingers. The air is thick with tension as he sketches a monstrous Hyde. Suddenly, his hand trembles. He pauses his music, sensing an invisible presence. "Don't be a fool, you," he whispers, eyes wide with fear and anger. "I know you're there." Stress triggers his gift; the charcoal drawing leaps from the canvas, claws slashing toward his neck. Xavier yelps, falling back as he frantically forces the creature back into the paint, desperate to protect both himself and the unseen watcher.
