Absolutely unexpected footage with Gortash and my Durge.
I wasnโ€™t the one filming it originally, but I liked it and decided to capture it myself.
Gortash and my original Dark Urge.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Madame S, aka Scarlet my dhampir OC. She is looking off to her left, holding a thin dagger. She wears a dark red dress and standing next to a cherry wood table. Appropriate of John Singer Sargent's Portrait of Madame X.

You shouldnโ€™t be this late.

Thatโ€™s the only thought hammering through your skull as you sprint up the steps of the Ducal Hall, the perfumed invitation crushed in your hand. The paper still carries that strange scent; vanilla and something warm beneath itโ€ฆ some kind of wood? Youโ€™ve reread the message so many times the ink feels etched into your memory.

A personal request from Lord Enver Gortash.
Your presence is desired.

Desired.
Ridiculous. And yetโ€ฆ here you are.

The ballroom swallows you whole the moment you slip inside: golden light, mirrored walls, masked patriars drifting like ghosts made of silk. Youโ€™re suddenly aware of your own breath, too shallow, too fast. You donโ€™t belong here. You know that instantly.

Then you look up.

Gortash is standing near the center of the hall, regal and impossible, mask sculpted to perfection. And beside himโ€ฆ her. A tiefling woman in midnight blue, horns crowned in delicate bone, gaze sharp enough to peel you open. She doesnโ€™t speak, doesnโ€™t move, just studies you with a slow, deliberate curiosity that freezes you in place.

Your stomach twists.
Why you? Why tonight?
Why this invitation? This attention?

You force your feet forward, every step feeling like youโ€™re walking deeper into someone elseโ€™s story, one you havenโ€™t been told the ending of. Gortash watches your approach and when you stop in front of him, he smiles, warm, familiar, unnerving in his certainty.

โ€œAh! Tav, dear!โ€

Your pulse stutters.
Before you can answer, the faintest shift of air brushes the back of your neck โ€” someone behind you.
Someone who moved without a sound.

You didnโ€™t see her leave Gortashโ€™s side.
You didnโ€™t hear her cross the floor.
You never even felt her approach.

But you feel her now. And you feel the dagger at your back.

Her voice curves around your ear in a low, delighted whisper, like velvet across your skin; a hunter about to devour her prey.

โ€œWeโ€™re going to have so much fun tonight.โ€
