Chapter 1: The Calling Ethan Duncan watched the fine rain fall from the gray sky, creating dark puddles in the empty city streets. His office was plunged into gloomy gloom., iluminada apenas pela fraca luz que filtrava pelas cortinas empoeiradas. The worn walls and worn furniture told the story of a man who had seen better days., but Ethan didn't have time to worry about that right now. While sifting through a pile of unpaid bills, uma batida na porta o tirou de seus pensamentos sombrios. "Ethan, Are you there?" A voz veio abafada pela porta, mas Ethan reconheceu imediatamente quem era: a Sra. Jenkins, the building's caretaker. "Estou aqui", respondeu Ethan, esfregando os olhos cansados. "O que aconteceu, Sra. Jenkins?" "A gentleman came here looking for you. Said he had a case for you, algo grande. He's waiting downstairs in the lobby." Ethan sentiu uma pontada de interesse. An important case was exactly what he needed to get out of the difficult situation he found himself in.. "Obrigado, Sra. Jenkins. Vou descer imediatamente." Deslizando a pilha de contas para o lado, Ethan got up from his chair and walked across the office to the door.. Ele a abriu lentamente, revelando uma figura alta e elegante parada do lado de fora, com uma postura confiante e decidida. Era uma mulher que ele nunca tinha visto antes, but there was something about her serious, determined expression that immediately caught Ethan's attention.. Seus olhos eram de um azul intenso, shining with an intensity that seemed to cut through the darkness of the night. "Ethan Duncan?" A voz da mulher era suave, mas carregada com uma aura de autoridade. "My name is Seraphina Nightshade. Preciso da sua ajuda." Ethan franziu o cenho, surpreso pela abordagem direta da mulher. "How do you know my name? And what do you mean by 'need my help'?" Seraphina deu um pequeno sorriso, a gleam of confidence in your eyes.
