a perfect strike to fix the horror on your face

Nikolai gets hurt and isn’t taking the restrictions his injuries are imposing on him very well. Thankfully, Fyodor is there to help, and as aggravating as the situation is for Nikolai, the experience brings them closer together in a way he didn’t expect.

Nikolai’s created a convenient situation for himself, a cult that allows him the freedom to satisfy his need for blood consistently with a group of devoted followers. He aims to be a somewhat fair leader, despite the lies he tells for his own benefit of course, but his favoritism starts to emerge with a certain devotee that is always trying to go above and beyond what is asked of him.
