The First Hunt
Present day - Seraphina is now 20
The morning sun filters through her apartment window. Seraphina sits at a small table, methodically eating chocolate-covered apples - one of the few pleasures she still allows herself.
Village Messenger (bursting through the door): "Sir Seraphina! Three children have gone missing from Millbrook! The villagers found strange tracks - not human, not animal."
Seraphina sets down her apple, expression hardening into the stoic mask she's worn for years.
Seraphina: "How long ago?"
Messenger: "Last night. The tracks lead toward the Thornwood."
Seraphina stands, strapping Voidrender to her side. The blade seems to whisper as she moves.
Seraphina: "Tell the villagers to lock their doors and stay inside until I return. If I don't come back by dawn... send word to the capital."
