Lukas glanced around the village as idly as he could, until he finally caught someone floating out of a hut in all her glory. Rhea, the Dream Eater, somehow looked energized and fulfilled–the galaxy around her skin sparkled and shimmered with vibrancy. 'I guess someone's been feasting on the dreams of everyone here.' Lukas thought. He didn't want to admit it to himself, but the reason why everything had been a success so far was due to the presence of her. Lukas knew that he was physically strong,…-

When Lukas and Chaerin finally rolled out of their bed in the morning and stepped out to join the others–it wasn't the cool and thick mists appearing once again that surprised them. Although, that was a boon of itself knowing that it was morning. It was the fact that they were met with the knowing looks and gazes of the elderly. Some had wistful smiles, others were frowning and complaining about the noise and there were also some who patted the two on the back. "Such energy," "So lively,…

It didn't take too long for Lukas and Stacy to call it a night. The two were calmer and more at ease with their thoughts that they both returned to their respective huts to catch up on more rest. Stacy walked back into her hut and heard her brother's snoring before she even saw him hogging the entire bed space. A small snort escaped from her as she made her way to the bed and rolled her brother to make room for her. Lukas on the other hand crept back into his hut, and he found that Chaerin was lying…

Lukas stared at Stacy and didn't know what to say at first. Or maybe it was because he knew what he wanted to say, and just didn't want to say it outloud. Because he had a feeling of what Stacy was going to reply. "You know, it's impossible to expect someone to always understand you," Lukas said and smiled a little bitterly. "Even the ones who you expect to love and care for you–they won't always look and understand why you do certain things, you know?" Stacy gauged Lukas' expression. Somehow,…

The forest was quiet and still, the cold wind blew around the two Vampires and for a moment, no word was exchanged between them. Lukas wondered if it was good to be honest with Stacy about the situation now. He had opened up with her before and it had done him real good, hadn't it? Stacy on the other hand wondered if it was time for her to leave. She had stayed and lingered long enough. Stacy didn't care when it was them hanging out at VitaBlood, but in the privacy of the forest and at the time, it…

Lukas could make the dagger vanish, but there was the fact that even without the presence of the dagger–Drusilla could hear the conversation. It was an uneasy thing, because even if he threw the dagger too, it also returned back to him. It meant that there was a link not only in the weapon itself, but even in his own blood. Either way, Stacy cleared her throat and curtsied awkwardly. "Um, greetings to you, Lady Sanguise." "Ah, at least fine manners coming from this one," Drusilla said. Lukas…

"Stacy?" Lukas blinked. Out of the trees, Stacy stepped out awkwardly with her hands raised in the air. She looked a little uncomfortable but also sheepish at the same time. "I know for sure that I don't want to be hit with that dagger." Stacy said, her gaze flickering momentarily to the tree branch Lukas attempted to hit. The ice cold feeling evaporated from Lukas almost instantly–he resisted the urge to cough in embarrassment and instead stored away the dagger. "Nah, I think you've already seen…

What was in the mind of an outsider? An observer? Someone who wasn't necessarily part of it–but considered themselves as an important factor in the play all the same? Someone like Theodore took it all in with a reluctance of acceptance. Someone like Stacy preferred to be kept completely out of the loop. And someone like Alexei… well, frankly, Stacy had no idea what went through her brother's head. Even when she asked! "What the heck do you think you were doing?" Stacy threw a glare at…

Chaerin's already broken hearted expression turned into a pained smile. He could see her perfectly clear through the dark, but somehow, moonlight now started to seep into the windows as the Veil of the Forest lifted. Lukas stared at her face and knew that he said the wrong thing–so he tried to apologize. "I'm sorry–" "It's fine." Chaerin said quietly. "That's what you truly think after all right?" "No, that's not–" "It's okay." Chaerin's voice broke a little, but she made it firmer. Tried…

The hut was dark and mostly empty. It stood farthest among the huts, mostly isolated from the rest and with nothing more but a simple bed. The bed looked like it was mostly made of wood and then leaves for furnishing. A couple of hides were present and looked to function as either pillows or blankets. Whichever the user preferred, but it looked untouched and unused. The Vampire couple looked at it and then at each other with an unreadable gaze. Lukas wanted to grimace–he had expected something more…
