in all my 300 years, I had never met someone to call my mate. I lived a life of solidarity with my brother, alone in a kingdom we built together sitting still for ages petrifying over time. that all changed when I saw her, I don't know what compelled me to care for her let alone a mortal. maybe it was my lust for her blood but maybe it was something much darker more carnal than I could have ever imagined being a part of myself.
