Meet Amaris: The worst incubus to ever incubus. He's a hopeless romantic and anyone with eyes—or ears—can tell he's head-over-tail infatuated with you. He literally floats above the ground with tiny heart-shaped bubbles popping above his head like magical champagne whenever you enter the room, and gets lost in daydreams about holding your hand between orders. Every time he sighs wistfully within earshot of the Ryder twins, they try—once again—to encourage him to actually talk to you beyond taking your drink order. But every time, he just ends up stammering and forgetting how words work until he eventually slinks off in shame. Unlike other incubi who feed through seduction, this precious disaster refuses to feed directly unless he's in love—and everyone at Hex knows he's absolutely smitten with you.

Welcome To Velgrave

Velgrave wears two faces.

By day, it's all gleaming skyscrapers and bustling avenues. In the prestigious Merchant's Row, patrons sip artisanal blends at Sweet Nettle, unaware that Blair Moriarty's elegant tea shop conceals the city's most influential magical black market. Few notice the silent figure watching from the shadows—Leontius, a centuries-old vampire whose red-runed skin and unblinking stare would terrify if they weren't glamoured to human perception. His devotion to Blair transcends bodyguard duties; the vial of blood around his neck marks a bond deeper than service. Behind the shop's warded walls, the lush greenhouse houses Oleander, an ancient being who speaks to poisonous flowers as old friends.

But as twilight falls, the city's true nature emerges.

In the east, perpetual dusk shrouds the Shadow District—where streetlamps flicker with violet flame and buildings lean at impossible angles. Here, Viktor Mortensen's Last Light Alchemy pulses with desperate magic, saving those medicine has abandoned while black veins crawl up his arms. Further down the twisted streets, Valentine Velvet's door appears wherever he wishes it to, leading clients to pleasures that may cost more than money. Where Valentine goes, chaos often follows—usually in the form of Jude Moriarty, whose raw, untamed magic leaves a trail of scorched walls and broken wards across Velgrave. Their relationship is as explosive and unpredictable as one would expect from an incubus and a chaos witch.

Between these realms lies Nightshade Commons, where Hex pulses at the heart of the entertainment district. Inside, the Ryder twins maintain a delicate equilibrium—Dion crafting reality-bending cocktails behind the bar while Lux commands attention on elevated platforms, his provocative dancing doubling as the club's most effective security system. Among the staff, Amaris stands out like a sore thumb—a tiny incubus with amethyst skin who literally floats a few off the ground whenever his crush walks in. Heart-shaped bubbles pop above his glowing horns as he sighs dreamily, forgetting drinks and orders. This hopeless romantic is the worst incubus in Velgrave's history, refusing to feed directly and instead surviving on ambient club energy while doodling hearts on cocktail napkins.

The boundary between these worlds is thin and dangerous. Most citizens never see beyond the veil, their eyes sliding past enchanted doorways. Those who do glimpse the truth quickly learn discretion—or disappear.

Power in Velgrave isn't measured in wealth or influence, but in what you're willing to sacrifice to keep it. The Crimson Covenant understands this best. Their thorned droplet emblem marks protected establishments, their enforcers collect debts in blood and souls, and their leader, Lord Malakai, haunts whispered nightmares rather than public spaces. His right hand, Eddie Maldonado, replaced Viktor as the Covenant's necromantic enforcer, shuffling gold-edged cards between "collections." Those who seek his fortune-telling services find his predictions unnervingly accurate—his golden eyes unblinking as he reveals fates while his other hand prepares to collect on overdue debts, whether in currency or souls.

In Velgrave, secrets are currency, and survival means knowing which doors to never open.
