Herrick and Mitchell in “Daddy Ghoul”

You know the Old Ones, they kill at will. But they don't recruit lightly. In fact, most of them only do it once. They choose a protège. It's an eternal bond.

I don't need a protège.

It isn't always about you. Why do you think some of us live forever and others are like...fireflies?

Because some of us are smart and some of us are stupid.

If you choose an heir, they inherit all your secrets. They become a dark angel. Your protector. Your saviour.

Saviour from what?

Oh. Perhaps a fate we've been led to belief there is no salvation from.

So...if something happens to you...

They can bring you back.

And that's possible?

That and so much more.

So you want me to be your heir?
