Elias, while leaning against his car near a cemetery in Haven, encounters Maia, a newly turned vampire unknowingly wandering the streets. Her strange behavior and physical symptoms, such as red-tinted eyes, pallor, and pointed fangs, quickly draw Elias's attention. Despite her denial of drug use, her thirst and confusion about her condition lead Elias to suspect her true nature. Maia, seemingly detached from the severity of her situation, fluctuates between aggression and confusion, clearly struggling with the urges of her newfound vampirism. Elias, employing a combination of straightforward conversation and subtle evaluation, attempts to guide her toward understanding her condition, utilizing his own magical abilities to maintain control of the situation.

The encounter escalates when Maia, driven by her insatiable thirst, makes several attempts to physically engage with Elias. In response, Elias resorts to using his own powers, including a display of cryomancy to cool the surrounding air, and projecting an aura of supernatural dread to repel her advances. Despite his efforts to connect with her and offer assistance by recommending she seek out the Order for help with her vampirism, the situation culminates in Maia fleeing, confused and overwhelmed by Elias's display of power. Left alone, Elias contacts the Haven Sheriff's Department to report the incident before questioning the reality of the encounter, underscoring the surreal and isolated nature of these interactions in the night of Haven.
