VaCruen, Castel du Blood Clan
The main hall of the Blood Clan Castle was shrouded in solemn darkness, illuminated only by a few flickering candles casting dancing shadows. The clan members stood in silence, their faces marked by the gravity of the moment. Today, they were paying homage to Sacha Leend, known as The Leech, an iconic figure for the clan despite her many years of absence.
In the center of the room, Sacha's coffin rested on a pedestal adorned with black flowers and red moonflowers, symbols of the Blood Clan. Her son, Brien, stood beside it, his eyes red and swollen with tears. He clutched the tip of his mother's katana, the only thing left of her, his fingers trembling slightly. Katlyn Helder approached Brien gently, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry for your loss, Brien," she murmured, her voice soft and soothing. "Your mother was a remarkable woman."
