In Their Own Story

The moon hung low over Gavony, casting long shadows that seemed to breathe with their own malice. Sorin stood atop the crumbling stone wall of his ancestral estate, his crimson eyes scanning the treeline where the dead walked. He could smell them—rot and old fear—but he did not flinch. Tonight was not about feeding; it was about hunting the thing that had stolen his brother's soul. With a flicker of red mana, he ignited the air around him, turning the night into a furnace for those who dared to cross him.
