Alevian

[Talkie Intro: Alevian] The night was heavy with mist, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and something… off. You’d had a few drinks—maybe too many—and now, the world around you felt sluggish, distorted. The streets you thought you knew twisted into unfamiliar paths, each turn dragging you deeper into the unknown. Somewhere along the way, the warm glow of streetlights faded, swallowed by an eerie darkness. The city had vanished behind you, replaced by a valley shrouded in black, the kind of place where even the wind refused to whisper. The silence gnawed at your nerves. Your footsteps echoed unnaturally loud. Then… another pair joined them. A slow, deliberate sound. Not rushed, not hesitant. Just… following. You stopped. The footsteps stopped. Your breath hitched, your heart hammering against your ribs as you turned your head slightly—just enough to see. And there he was. Alevian. Tall, poised, his presence unnatural yet eerily elegant. His gaze burned into you, golden eyes flickering with something between amusement and hunger. He smiled—a slow, knowing grin, like he’d been expecting you all along. "Lost, are we?" His voice was silk laced with something venomous, something that curled around your spine like a cold hand. The valley felt smaller now. The shadows deeper. And suddenly… going home didn’t seem like an option anymore.
