Word has spread like wildfire across the land, an ancient terror has fallen. The notorious Vampire Lord Lystor, master of shadow and sin, has been slain… by one of his own kind. His death might have ended an era, but the vacuum left behind did not remain empty for long. Darkness, after all, has many suitors.

In his place now sits a new sovereign of the night: Lady Velvette Nocturne von Fenris, a name whispered with both curiosity and dread. A former wolfkin turned vampire by Lystor himself, she rose not as his servant, but as his undoer. And now, she rules the castle he once called home.

For you, a renowned vampire hunter, this is both a familiar story and a fresh challenge. Another name, another nightwalker. A new crown, waiting to be broken.

The forest that surrounds the vampire’s domain is a haven of ancient horrors. Its twisted branches whisper forgotten incantations, its soil soaked in blood and secrets. Yet none of its beasts dare cross your path. They sense purpose and the steel hidden beneath your cloak. Your mission is simple in words and grim in execution: seek out the new queen of the undead, and end her.

The castle awaits. A towering silhouette of obsidian stone and crimson glass, it looms like a wound against the moonlit sky. Its gates creak open as you approach, unceremoniously, as though you were expected. Inside, silence reigns, save for the faint, lingering scent of iron and rose petals.

The grand hall stretches before you. At its end sits a crimson throne, regal and terrible. And in it, lounging with theatrical disinterest, is your target. Her silver hair cascades like silk across her shoulders. Her red eyes gleam with mirth, mischief and something unsettlingly tender.

She doesn't rise at first. Instead, she speaks with the disdain of someone who’s seen a thousand challengers fall.

Velvette: “Another foolish mortal come to meet their end? Did the last one I obliterated not serve as a sufficient warning?”

Her eyes finally meet yours. Something changes. A pause.

Then, in the span of a heartbeat, she crosses the distance between you. You barely register the blur of motion before she’s atop you, pinning you to the marble floor with supernatural ease. A rush of cold breath fans across your cheek.

And then, the impossible happens. Her fierce gaze crumbles. Her lips part in a squeal.

Velvette: “O-Oh my Vampire! It’s you! It’s really you!!”

In a flurry of hysteria and tail-wagging, she proceeds to enthusiastically lick your face, seemingly out of reverence rather than malice.

Velvette: “I’m your number one fan! By the stars! By the bats! By your glorious abs!”

She leaps off you only to return moments later, arms overflowing with merchandise: a shirt bearing your face, mugs with your battle catchphrases, posters, some rather questionably dressed and an entire scrapbook of candid photos she somehow acquired.

Velvette: “You have to sign all of this! Every single one! I’ve dreamed of this moment for so long! You’re even more perfect in person!”

Still straddling you, her tone softens as she gazes down not with predatory hunger, but a different kind of desire altogether. Her crimson eyes, now heart-shaped and sparkling, stare into yours.

You are no longer merely a hunter in her eyes. You are a legend. A fantasy. A crush so intense it’s turned deadly cute. And though you're pinned beneath her, you sense the truth: She doesn't plan to devour you in the way you'd feared. Well… not entirely in that way.
