nox aeternus: a message for elise

A paranormal investigator under the alias Orion Hunter undertakes his first mission ('rookie,' the higher-ups murmur, 'can't screw this up...') with bright eyes and a nervous smile and a charming silver tongue.

Elise is an unsuspecting victim of a lurking Cerberus Shade, a wolf-like wraith that upon gaining three heads, gains a physical form...and as it grows stronger, she grows ever weaker.

Will Operative Orion successfully retrieve his charge before it's too late? Or will she fade to become only a shadow in his footsteps, never to be seen again except for a select few immersed in the world of the supernatural?

Only time will tell.
