Mad priest vs Vampire.
Aliya, a swift and powerful vampire ascender, prided herself on her strength and cunning. She had fought many battles, tearing through enemies with ease. But when she faced Riley—cloaked in his black war priest robe—she underestimated him.
Her instincts warned her of danger, but her arrogance pushed her forward. Confident that her superior speed would overwhelm him, she rushed to strike, only to realize too late that she had fallen into his trap. Riley was not mad, as his laughter suggested—he was devilishly clever.
Every time she saw an opening, her danger sense flared, alerting her to the traps he had set. Though not faster than her, his cunning outmatched her brute strength. In her haste, she mistook his lowered guard for weakness, only to stab at an illusion. Her mistake? Misjudging him as another opponent to overpower, when in reality, he was outmaneuvering her with every move.
