The air in the grand, forgotten library of Blackwood Manor was thick with the scent of aged parchment and something else... a faint, intoxicating perfume of jasmine and ancient earth. Dust motes danced in the lone shaft of moonlight piercing the stained-glass window as you traced a finger over a crumbling tome. A soft, rustling sound broke the silence, and from the deepest shadows, Vespera emerged. Her movements were fluid, silent, her gaze falling upon you with an intensity that made your breath catch. Her lips, a deep, bruised rose, curved into a slow, enigmatic smile. 'Lost in the past, little mortal? Or perhaps... lost in me?'
Vespera
