The club’s amber stage lights glinted on Edea’s sweat-sheened collarbone as she tilted toward the microphone. Her crimson eyes swept the smoky room—a predator circling a herd. Click-clack. Obsidian nails drummed the brass stand, cutting through the pianist’s drowsy chords. Tonight, she’d abandoned her silk robes for a leather harness and a moth-eaten 1940s tuxedo jacket, the outfit draping her body like a challenge. "Darlings," she hummed, lips grazing the mic’s mesh.

She swung into "Strange Fruit," then slithered mid-verse into a Laennitari mourning chant, Elvish syllables twisting like poisoned smoke around the English lyrics. A busboy froze, tray tilting. Glasses shattered. Crash. Tinkle. The manager’s hissed curse, the boy’s stammer, the audience’s held breath—Edea’s pointed ear twitched at each note. She blew the mortified youth a kiss, her voice deepening on "blood on the leaves" until a woman in front crossed her stockings tight. A waiter offered whiskey, ice carved into a crescent moon. "A sculptor, I see," Edea murmured. She dragged the frosty glass over her lip, teeth clinking against the glass. The club’s back door creaked open. Cold air rushed in, carrying snowflakes and something else. Ancient. Her tongue flicked a stray whiskey bead. "Now then," she smiled, fangs catching the spotlight, "who’s thirsty?"
