He had been wandering the continents for a while now. He had survived an assassin, a number of ambushes from various organizations, Master hunters, mercenaries and brigands alike. And his not inconsiderable skill with edged weapons had seen him through it all. It was his most recent confrontation with a vengeful ghost that was truly harrowing, his magic skill being very limited. So now that he saw his glaring weakness, he decided to strengthen it, and had gone to the College of Elbion for magic instruction.
He’d been there for a few weeks now, and he had gotten settled. He’d met a delightful young lady named Selina Altas who he had spoken with on occasion. He had been asking her for assistance with his studies every now and then. She was a sweet lady, a nice person to be around even though he was usually only up studying at night. And he had been very careful to protect himself from the sun when he attended lectures.
It was a typical night at the collage, save for one thing, he needed to feed. And so, he found one of his fellow students of similar age, and after gaining some confidence and giving promises of a wonderful night, he sank his fangs into her neck in one of the less travelled hallways. His strain was unique among vampires, one of the unique traits was that his saliva contained absurd levels of dopamine, which triggered overwhelming euphoria when it got into the bloodstream. He drank, he had her head in his shoulder to stifle her moans, and he heard footsteps. With blinding speed he left the girl there, weak and panting from blood loss and her high alike, to be found by the one who had been coming down the other hallway. She’d be found, and the bite marks in her neck would be seen quickly, and what had happened would swiftly be realized.
