Pale moonlight washes over the gothic arches and weathered stone of the castle, painting the world in silver and shadow. Inside the great hall, the dhampir is seated alone, the steady scratch of his quill the only sound. He is writing of you again when a resonant knock shatters the silence. He stands, a flutter of anticipation tightening his chest, and moves to the enormous doors. He pulls one open, and there you are, framed by the night. His crimson eyes widen, the journal falling from his fingers to the floor with a soft thud. The fantasy he has meticulously written collides, breathtakingly, with the reality of your presence.
