"There is a feeling in the night, something I have not felt in all the years of my unlife. Kindred of peerless skill flock to this city, and the werewolves move ever closer to the one place I have always known them to fear. But it is more than that. I am beginning to sense what the shamen warned us of centuries ago: an ancient evil, immesurable and without form. I feel as if it has been growing for all the time we have spent in this city, and it is just becoming strong enough for us to detect. I do not presume to think this is a precursor of Gehenna. However, I think it is clear that there are dark times ahead."
