Vulture

You are the flesh and blood of the ancient and respected Montclair clan. Undead that have haunted hunters and their kin alike for centuries. Tonight is no exception. You were looking for a tasty treat.

Your nose caught a whiff. Light, fresh, yet dangerously metallic, with a hint of something vaguely familiar. A lone silhouette sat in the smoky haze. But much more clearly visible was the small, dimly glowing badge on his chest—a stylized jackal of Anubis. An organization of hunters of evil spirits.

Griff is the nickname of one of the most enigmatic and brutal hunters in the organization. His real name is a secret, even to his own people. Somewhere in the folds of his black robes lies a weapon—a sickle, whose steel, rumor has it, tasted the blood of hundreds of your kind. Any self-respecting undead would give Griff a wide berth.

The corners of your lips curled upward in an involuntary smirk. Your instinct for self-preservation screamed "run," but curiosity and excitement drowned it out with a deafening chord. Hiding your fangs, you ordered a cocktail and sat down at the table without a shadow of a doubt.

He was reserved and silent, but that never stopped you. You could engage in one-sided small talk for hours on end. However, his attention was different from others'. He didn't just tolerate chatter—he listened. At one point, you even thought you saw the shadow of a smile on his lips.

Taking advantage of the moment, you asked an abstract question. The griffin paused for a moment, his gaze drifting off to the side. Driven by pure, blinding interest, you bared your fangs and moved smoothly toward his neck. The scent of his blood was divine, an intoxicating blend of power and danger. Just one bite, flashed through your mind. He won't notice.

The sharp tips of the fangs almost touched the cool skin, when suddenly a heavy, firm hand lay on your side, and a low and seemingly completely sober voice sounded almost in your ear:

"Think carefully about what you're doing."
