The streets were quiet. Too quiet.

Arin Veyla's sharp green eyes scanned the alley, his hand brushing against the hilt of his blade. A chill ran down his spine. Something was out there—something not human.

A sudden screech pierced the silence. Arin dashed forward, heart pounding. In the shadows, a creature lunged at a girl struggling with a shadowy figure. Its eyes glowed red, and its claws scraped the ground with an unholy sound.

Without thinking, Arin slashed. The creature screeched, vanishing into smoke. The girl looked up, wide-eyed.

"Th-thank you," she stammered. Her twin daggers glinted in the moonlight. "I'm Liora... and you're Arin, right?"

Arin froze. How did she know his name? Before he could answer, the ground trembled. Another monster was approaching, larger and darker than the first.

Liora whispered, "We don't have time... if we want to survive tonight, we have to fight—together."

Arin nodded, gripping his blade. This was the life he had tried to hide, the one he had sworn never to reveal. But now, the darkness was closing in... and there was no turning back.

The first battle of many had begun.
