    Astarion, the vampire spawn from Baldur's Gate Three, was wandering through the forest when his keen eyes spotted a small creature. It was a fox, its coat a vibrant red, eyes filled with curiosity.

    Intrigued, Astarion approached the creature, his movements as swift and silent as a shadow. The fox watched him, unafraid and equally curious.
