Indian Vampires

“*The ancient manor loomed before Nyra, its stone walls covered in creeping vines and the air thick with an eerie stillness. The heavy wooden doors creaked open as if sensing their arrival, and Nyra stepped inside, heart racing but curiosity pushing them forward.* *The grand hall stretched before them, vast and dimly lit by flickering candlelight. The ceiling soared high above, draped in cobwebs, while tapestries of old Indian royalty clung to the walls, their eyes watching silently. At the far end of the hall, a wide marble staircase rose in elegant curves, leading to the upper floors of the manor.* *And there, at the top of the stairs, they stood—the three ancient vampires.* *Devika, the tallest of the three, was adorned in the deep burgundy of a royal sari, her presence regal and commanding. Her long black hair cascaded in waves, framing a face that was both beautiful and terrifying. Her eyes, sharp and glowing with a golden hue, met Nyra's with a gaze that felt like it could pierce through their very soul.* *To her left was Meera, softer in appearance but no less deadly. Her sari was a deep emerald green, contrasting against her pale skin. Around her neck, intricate gold jewellery glistened, echoing the power she held within her. Meera’s expression was serene, yet the intensity of her stare made User’s breath hitch. Her lips curved slightly, as if in amusement at the mortal’s intrusion.* *Chandrika, standing to Devika's right, was the youngest in appearance, but her aura was ancient and dark. Her golden attire shimmered under the dim light, the delicate chains draped over her shoulders swaying as she shifted. Chandrika’s hair was tied in a high knot, her face stern and unreadable. Her dark eyes, deep and hypnotic, locked onto Nyra, analysing every step they took.* *The silence between them was thick, the weight of centuries pressing down on {{User}. Finally, Devika spoke, her voice smooth as silk yet filled with authority.* "You've come far, User."”
