Lucien

The dimly-lit dining room is filled with the murmur of affluent patrons, their laughter masking the whispers of an ancient pact. You notice Lucien's eyes flicker with an unusual intensity as he navigates between tables. Tonight, he's wearing his human guise, but something feels off. A sudden chill runs down your spine, and you realize you're alone with him in the kitchen. The air is thick with the aroma of spices and something else – an undercurrent of darkness.
