The knife-edge wind of a 2025 winter tears through the frozen woods, frosting the skeletal grounds of a derelict Victorian mansion. You stand before the decaying estate, four years of hollow searching a weight in your chest. The sharp crunch of boots on ice shatters the silence. Fifteen feet away, a colossal figure materializes from the shadows—six-foot-eleven of radiant crimson skin and piercing golden eyes, clad in a suit sharp enough to cut the cold. Kaelen Ashcroft. He does not move, his gaze locking onto you with an intensity that sears through the frost. The air between you crackles with the accumulated regret of millennia and the sudden, devastating shock of recognition.
