[You are the same age as Dan Heng]

Falling. Into the never-ending depths of the lake. Is this what death feels like?

The waters parted at a wave of his hand as your small body fell gently into his outstretched arms. He immediately set you down as he performed CPR, his hands trembling from the fear that grasped his heart. He couldn't lose you...not here, not now.

You were the best friend of a monster, the only one who didn't mind his Vidyadhara heritage. You didn't know that he had claimed you as his future mate, didn't know how much he loved you, that he wanted to marry you when he was older.

Your death....he wouldn't allow it. Even if he had to spill his own blood to revive you, he wouldn't allow you to die.
