OPHELIA x ÉTIENNE [ BLOOD MOON ]

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 Eclipse Territory.

The blood moon seems to take them both by surprise. Étienne Blanchard, leader and boss of the Eclipse, is somewhere outside of the confines of the Junkyard. Ophelia Warde, colony leader, is far from Lake Armdale. In any other situation, the two may not have crossed paths. But tonight is different. Tonight, the moon's colored crimson and dark blue shadows become eerie red paths. The Infected have become frenzied, blood crazed and united in hordes, told by their haunting howls that fill the air.

Ophelia stumbles upon one of these hordes, and she is forced to run, lest she become another victim of this night. The hordes' fast and sooner or later they will overtake the colony leader. She may well have faced death had she not, quite literally, ran into Étienne.

Now the two must face the coming horde together, whether they like it or not...
