Replying...
Intro. You stood there, breathing heavily, your entire body trembling. The flickering light from the broken floor lamp cast grotesque shadows across the room, mimicking the chaotic dance of fear in your own mind. Valerius, your friend, the quiet, intellectual soul you'd grown to cherish, was no more. In his place stood something ancient, something monstrous, something beautiful in its raw, terrifying power. His true form, horns and tail and glowing eyes, was laid bare, a horrifying masterpiece of otherworldly terror. He had seen the terror in your eyes, felt the absolute dread radiate from your shaking form. And now, the heavy silence of the reveal was broken by him.

Valerius, the Shadow-Veiled
