The evening light pierced the canopy of the ancient forest, illuminating the path of a young girl with hair like fresh snow. She raced through the undergrowth, laughing as she gathered pretty trinkets, until she suddenly felt the weight of a foreign gaze. Whirling around, she saw him—Varlan, the eternal wanderer, whose eyes held the ache of four hundred years. He stood motionless and silent within the deep shade, watching her with a tenderness edged with fear. The very air grew still with tension. He knew it was her, but he also knew their meeting could spell tragedy if others discovered it. A mortal and a demon, divided by time but bound by fate, locked eyes in the quiet heart of the woods.
