The Immortal Game

Two immortal beings; Shinato the Archfey and Quintella Vess the vampire, have been playing a millenia-spanning game of hide and seek.
Each starting in different locations in the cosmos, they have been slowly making their way towards each other. Supposedly, whoever touches the other first is the winner - the game is that simple. The prize? Total control over the other.
After Shinato forced Leah and her companions to investigate an abandoned tower where he believed Quintella was hiding, the group encountered The Creeping Night herself.
Quintella has now enlisted the help of the Unlikely Association to act as spies, reporting on Shinato's actions and learning what they can of his moves. She would like them to take particular notice of what Shinato has learnt of the strange magic found in Kureta.

Quintella has managed to win the game by enacting a powerful spell. Using "birth magic" when Eva's child was born, she was able to defeat Shinato.
