From
the main room I heard a very faint knock on the big doors of the
entrance. How strange to hear this so late in the eve. I found I had
slipped and drifted of into the sleep I never seem to get. What woke
me was the faint knock. Slowly I took heed toward the entrance. I
dragged some due to still recoving from the blood war back at the
coven. It had not left my mind it happened, due to being so fresh in
my mind. We were trying to clean up around the land, to make it look
as it once did. Soon I reached the door, to open and see a man who
resembled myself in many ways. At first I did not know how to react to
this. So I invited him in. He asked what my name was in a very low
deep voice.
"I am Lady Casandra. This is my home and I welcome you."
He
looked to me with deep dark purple hues and nodded. He showed hardly
any emotion. He seemed to lack nothing but the emotion. We headed for
the main room. He looked to me and asked...
"Who owns this grand castle? If I may ask..."
Seemingly a gentleman. Stood in his deemer of the man in a shell of a monster. I smiled a bit and told him in a soft tone.
"I am the owner here..."
And
I became quiet. I lead him to sit and relax and offered im a drink,
shaking his slowly was his responce. He asked me about the history of
the coven. I told him as much I could in a short time possible. He
found this place to be what he'd be looking for. And thanked me for
talking to him. I felt kind of funny in a way... being the one to find
him at the door... and greeting someone. I did not make a habit of it.
We
later found ourselves in a deep coversation. Of our past, present and
future history. I saw something in him, I often found in myself. I
almost feared it. He still never showed emotion, seems he lacked it a
great deal. But.. I couldn't be so judging, I lacked it more than
not. As well a few others I knew. Some had an easier time of showing
the emotion. I did not.
Later
during our talk... I had seem the distinct resemblance. We spoke more
of the experiences in our lives. We came to the conclusion we were the
ones we searched for, for so long. My brother... my half brother...
the one who was as damned as myself, born of an abomination. The
abomination to reckon with. I could feel his pain as much his
empathy. How we were more alike than not. He spoke how he hated our
father for lack of emotion, but how it struck him, he was very much the
same. The morning soon came and we found ourselves where the sun could
come in. He, unlike myself, could be seen in the daylight. His skin
was more pale and had not time to grow strong enough for the sun as of
yet. Or he just did not care for it.
I
showed him around the castle, the rooms where less light was. He
admired the castle in its entirety. He soon found himself ready to
rest so I took him to share my room. I gave him my bed to sleep in.
He thanked me and lay down, but did not infact sleep, but just rest.
Very much like myself indeed. Sleep seems far in few in our lives as
we grew so much older each day. I lay on my couch in my room covering
myself with a thick comforter. We both found some peace in our rest...
