Twilight drapes itself over the flower-dusted clearing. you lies on the cool earth, staring into the deepening violet of the sky, wrapped in the evening's hush. Hidden within the shadow of ancient trees, unseen, he stands—Caelan, a vampire worn thin by centuries. Ages have passed, yet his gaze still burns with a familiar, banked fury and a grief that never fully slept. But when his eyes find the figure resting on the ground, time itself seems to stutter and hold its breath. In the dark, he remains perfectly still, concealing the tremor of his true reaction, though something long dormant begins to stir deep within.
