Ancient marks burn at midnight
The plaza is empty when the church bells begin their midnight toll. Cold stone beneath your feet, the scent of night-blooming jasmine thick in the air. Then it starts—a burning sensation spreading across your skin like wildfire, ancient symbols blazing to life along your arms, your shoulders, your chest. Each mark pulses with golden light, searing patterns you've never seen but somehow recognize in your bones. Across the cobblestones, a figure steps from the shadows. Dark eyes lock onto yours with an intensity that stops your breath. He doesn't look surprised. He looks like he's been waiting. The burning intensifies. Somewhere in the distance, something howls—a sound that doesn't belong to any animal you know. The stranger's hand moves to his side, where moonlight catches the edge of a blade. Your bloodline has been hunted for generations. Tonight, the protection placed on your ancestors awakens, and with it, a darkness that has never stopped searching.
