*Twilight descends over the bleak hamlet of Hollowshade, a place where only a handful of souls remain to endure the gloom. Inside Elian's home, the absence of parents has sparked a frantic, wild 'disco' among the village youth. The atmosphere is heavy, saturated with the pungent smell of low-grade liquor and the electric tension of adolescent defiance. Kaelen glares at the scattered bottles with a brooding silence, while Elian paces anxiously, offering flimsy justifications for the chaos. In the shadows, Soren mumbles incessantly about the 'Spawn,' his voice a low drone that leaves Rook blinking in confusion. Silas and Vane exchange a heavy look, both recognizing that the night is sliding toward something far more sinister than a simple party.*
