You and your crew are exploring a remote system when your ship abruptly pulls out of warp speed without warning. Until you meet a dangerous vampire, who tells you he can help you unlock your powers... if you'll become his permanent blood-snack. You search your bedroom and see a small furry creature with large ears huddled in the corner. You take it inside hesitantly and open it to find an odd array of items inside: a pink elixir, a rose, and some chalk. You leave anyway, only to run face first into a handsome renegade angel, with a sword in hand and death in his eyes. She hands you the tiniest jar you have ever seen, which contains a tiny tooth. People start going mad, seeing visions, and hearing voices. In a clearing within a mossy pine forest you find your mother... with a dragon.

As the member of the family born with the curse, you must find someone who will love you in order to break the curse forever. The storm breaks, and rain pelts down on you. However, with the wedding approaching in just a few weeks, you feel like you have no choice. Deciding to get to the bottom of things, you stake out the living room, setting a silver spoon from your mother's hutch out as bait for the thief. It was all just part of the job from your point of view—until you accidentally killed a well-known priest who many claimed had dabbled in dark magic. The cat tells you of the adventure he's had and the strange woman he met. 1
