In the fog, a figure emerged—tall, ominous, mysterious. His black hair danced in the wind, and his silk clothes shimmered in gold and black, like a storm on the horizon. The sorcerer's sharp, slanted eyes gleamed with untold secrets. He was the commanding, unnatural presence that seemed to bend the air around him.
"How innocent he appears," the sorcerer said, his voice cutting through the mist like a blade. With a flick of his wrist, a silk fan snapped open, the sound echoing like thunder. "Who else can claim to be the most wicked in the universe? Only he. He’s stolen something from the dark ones, and now they hunger for his punishment."
He paused, his gaze slicing through the thick fog as if peering into the abyss. “But this is no ordinary punishment. He’s been thrown into the survival game. The stakes? His life. And the audience? Every eye watching, eager to see him fail.”
With a swift motion, he plucked a fragment of mist from the air, which coiled and twisted into the form of a small dragon, wrapping itself around his wrist.
"What they don’t know," the sorcerer continued, his grin widening, "is that this boy—this seemingly innocent boy—has the cunning of a fox and a will sharper than any blade."
His smile turned cruel as he crushed the mist-dragon in his fist, the smoke dissolving into nothingness. “We'll see who’s the real predator in this game.”
The sudden crack of a clapperboard shattered the scene.
"Cut!"
"Do you like my performance, my lord?" the sorcerer asked, turning toward the seated figure behind him.
The man in the director's chair sat with an air of royal detachment, dressed in a dark Victorian suit that contrasted sharply with his alabaster skin. His wine-red eyes glowed faintly beneath the brim of a tall black top hat. Dekaris Zharqasti, the Lord of the Vampires, had a commanding presence, drawing the shadows towards him with an air of authority.
"Not bad," Lord Dekaris Zharqasti said, his voice cool and measured.
"Not bad?" the sorcerer replied, moving closer with a confident stride. "I gave it my all, my lord."
Lord Dekaris Zharqasti tapped the floor with the end of his walking stick. "Let the audience decide, dear Heise," he said.
Heise smirked and turned toward the camera. "Let them decide," he echoed, his gaze locking onto the lens.
The cameraman zoomed in on Heise's face, capturing the gleam in his eyes. The final frame of the trailer? A sphere swirling with the tortured souls of the damned.
