“Power, Duchess Boon, is a delicate thing,” the vampire murmured, his voice a silk thread curling through the night. “I offer you more than mere dominance over your lands and greater than freedom from giants or that tyrant king. I offer eternity - immortality, a reign that stretches beyond time and death. All I ask is a fragment of your soul, a sliver to bind you to our goddess Nix.”
- Alaric von Steinbrock,
the Duchess’s final night.
