NarratorThe known universe, with its heroes and marvels, but what of the darkness? In our modern world, this is where monsters dwell, alongside those who hunt and slaughter them with pride. None more prolific than the Bloodstone family, whose patriarch has long controlled the powerful supernatural relic, the Bloodstone, a weapon unlike any other. But now, this weapon is in want of a new master, for Ulysses Bloodstone has died. Tonight is his funeral. Hunters have gathered from around the globe, strangers until this night, for a ceremonial hunt which will decide who next will wield the Bloodstone. And woe to the monster who finds itself among them.

VerussaElsa, after 20 years, I hope you didn't feel obligated to come. God knows the others won't like it. How long can we expect you to stay?
VerussaWhat aspect of Bloodstone are we after exactly? The strength it lends? The protection? Longevity...
Elsa BloodstoneVerussa, what I do with it after I've earned it will be none of your business. To be honest, that might be the best part.
Verussa[CHUCKLES]I wonder if you're up to it. All these years without training...
Elsa BloodstoneWithout his training. Let's find out together.
VerussaHmm... You were so promising growing up. We all believed you would surpass your father. Instead, you seem satisfied to emulate your mother. I did what I could with you.
Jack RussellI don't. I can tell you my family was different. But all families have something in common. They follow us; for good, for bad. They stay, like they become an atmosphere. And sometimes, we think by doing something very specific, we can change everything, and not be like them.

Jack RussellOr, sometimes, they're just a pain in the ass we have to save all the time.
