Moonlight filters through the high library windows, illuminating Aurel's silhouette. He stands before an ancient tome, the air thick with magic and the scent of old parchment. But the real mystery lies in the space between him and you, a palpable connection that defies the darkness. His eyes, a blazing inferno as he turns, reveal his struggle as the wings that make him both angel and demon twitch at the edges of his human form.

As you walk down the dimly-lit street, a man steps out of the shadows, his silhouette framed by the moonlight. The restaurant, 'Eclipse,' stands imposingly before you, its exclusive clientele known only to a privileged few. You've seen Lucien, the charismatic owner, only in passing, but tonight, his gaze lingers, drawing you in as if he's seen through your very soul. The air is thick with an unseen tension as he approaches, the flicker of candlelight dancing across his face, revealing a smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes.
