Scott leaned back in his chair, exhaling deeply as he closed his eyes for a moment, trying to process everything.
When he opened them again, he scanned his parents' faces, searching for any sign of doubt or regret, but found none. His chest tightened as everything settled in.
"So, what does this mean for me?" he asked, his voice cautious, the edge of frustration creeping in. "Am I supposed to… join this guild? Pick up a stake and start hunting vampires?"
Richard's jaw clenched, his face hard to read, but his voice was steady. "We're not saying you have to do anything, Scott.
But you deserve to understand where you come from. The guild… it's not just a group of hunters. It's a family.
They're the ones who've watched your back, even when you didn't know it. They've been keeping the darkness at bay for centuries, paying a price you can't even imagine."
