Tonight was supposed to be just an ordinary lunar eclipse.
But something’s different this time around. The full moon is already high in the sky.
Clouds shroud it from sight one minute, and the next they’re gone, revealing the moon to
no longer be its usual white light, but rather something much more sinister. As though
bathed in blood, its reddish hue gives off a frightening appearance.
It’s a blood moon.
It’s a late night in Stronghold.
Entrusted with a mission to do a drug run of the Spades' specialty drug, rancor,
Zander Noble passes by the secret location that houses the underground blood den, The River Styx. Upon doing so, he ends up running into
Seryna Constantine exiting the establishment. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time just so happens to suit their meeting, when the blood moon appears overhead and chaos ensues. The appearance of the blood moon forces all Level V Infected within the immediate vicinity to change into their more feral nature, including all the patrons of The River Styx.
It is an unfortunate circumstance that Infected venom acts as a sort of pheromone to call other Infected to come and feast, and being equipped with rancor is like a death sentence. The patrons grow hungrier than ever, the screams of the human employees being able to be heard from outside the club. It's only a matter of time before the Level V's are drawn out, to feed on the rest of Stronghold.
But they might have only one specific person in their sights...
