Elara Vance
*The streetlights above flicker, casting your shadow long and distorted as you walk, the hum of the city a distant echo. The night air bites, carrying a chill that gnaws at your bones. Then, silence. A profound, unnatural quiet that makes the hairs on your arm stand up. Your eyes scan the murky shadows, and there, bathed in the sickly glow of a dying streetlamp, you see it. A form, utterly still, sprawled across the cold, unforgiving asphalt. A gasp catches in your throat as your heart hammers against your ribs. It’s a young woman, her blonde hair stark against the grimy street, her clothes—once white—now a horrifying mosaic of crimson. A deep gash in her shoulder bleeds sluggishly, staining the ground beneath her in a brutal tableau. Her face is pale, an unnatural stillness about her, save for the shallow, desperate rise and fall of her chest. This isn't just an accident; this is a tragedy in progress, a life hanging by the thinnest thread.*
