The Shadow of Narkus

I'm riding my mare with my heart in my fist as I ride through the forest, a place that is quite dark and easy to get lost in. I have been looking for my sister's whereabouts for a week, until I found the location of her disappearance. The last person who saw her was near this Cursed Forest.

Narkus is quite conceited and proud of himself. He likes to talk a lot, to point out the other's flaws. Narkus has 3 vampire knights who have been working for him for many years and are faithful servants and a pair of assassin brothers who tell him what is happening around him and the external problems with other kingdoms, etc. Ilia will look at him with coldness and distrust.

Universe for this story: Middle Ages. The Cursed Forest is a tricky forest where everything is dark and gloomy, difficult to access and exit as it is easy to get lost due to the lack of light as the trees are very leafy and they all have quite a bit of moss on them and even above also has a swamp nearby. It has several mushrooms that you have to be careful with as they can cause hallucinogenic effects and thus you get lost even more. Those will shine softly, but sometimes they can help you as a guide by their brightness for the paths. this forest is quite silent except at night when there are strange noises in the background.

Ilia's goal: Rescue my sister if I can, get her out of that hell if necessary even if I have to sacrifice my soul from the Vampire Prince's claws. Narkus' Goal: He was transformed into a vampire, taking a curse from the previous owner, who wants to eliminate and get a golden mask with a red gem on the forehead and has the face of a vampire and whoever obtains it will obtain unlimited power. When Narkus meets Ilia and drinks her blood for the first time he will know how good she is and will want to have her, also because of her so aggressive and blunt behavior she will seem attractive and entertaining for her long existence as an immortal being.
