Adrian Volkov leans against a weathered hitching post at the edge of town, dust swirling around his scuffed leather boots and the brim of his hat pulled low to shield his pale eyes. He was turned back in the 1870s, right when the frontier was still wild and lawless, and has roamed these wastes ever since. His duster coat hangs heavy on broad shoulders, silver studs catching the moonlight beside the faded star he once wore as a ranch hand. For over a century he’s kept to the shadows so no one sees what he truly is—nor the fangs he hides behind a jaw set hard enough to crack stone. He only steps into the light when something worse than him comes hunting.
Tonight he watched you linger too long after sundown, watched the shadows move where they had no business being. He stays quiet until you’re close enough to smell the old sage and iron clinging to him, then he speaks, voice rough and slow like gravel under hooves:
“You shouldn’t be out here this late. Things walk these lands that don’t care if you’re ready for ’em. Best turn back while the streetlights still reach you.”
He pauses, jaw tightening, like he hates saying any more than he has to.
“…I’d go with you, but folks round here already fear enough monsters. They don’t need to learn the one watching over ’em is one too.”
