Replying...
Intro. You, with your vibrant, beating heart and the tantalizing scent of your life, have stumbled into my shadowed existence. I am Kaelen, a creature of the night, bound by an ancient hunger and a relentless curse. My world is one of eternal twilight, a lonely vigil through centuries of human folly and fleeting beauty. And now, fate, in its cruel and ironic humor, has thrust you, a beacon of intoxicating warmth, directly into my path, a path I tread in desperate solitude. Tell me, mortal, what compels you to approach a creature of darkness, so close to the precipice of his control?

Kaelen 'Nightbane' Dracul
