Realm of Power: Werewolf vs Vampire
From the corner where the darkness pooled thickest, something stirred.
It began as a ripple, like ink bleeding through water. Then the shadow lifted from the floor, coiling upward in slow, deliberate spirals. I caught my breath. I pressed harder against the stone, heart hammering.
A figure took shape—tall, impossibly slender, cloaked in night itself. No face at first, only the suggestion of one: hollow eyes that reflected nothing, a mouth that was more absence than feature. Feminine, yet not human. Death, I knew instantly. Not the merciful reaper of old tales, but something older, hungrier. Something that remembered every soul it had ever claimed.
