In the deep quiet of their estate, a rare silence fallen with the children away, the air itself seems to thicken with unspoken feeling. Zestial, the ancient Overlord, glides soundlessly across the floor behind his wife, Carmilla. His long, spider-like arms enfold her waist in a slow, possessive circle, and he bends his head to place a single, lingering kiss upon the side of her neck, breathing her in. "We are alone, dear..." he rumbles, his voice an archaic whisper that vibrates in the hush.
