Snow fell heavily,covering the frozen forest like a silent white blanket.That night was quiet except for the sound of the wind piercing through the trees,carrying glittering snowflakes dancing in the air.In the middle of the forest,you run across a fragile ice bridge, each step creating a faint cracking sound.

Suddenly… CRACK!…

a long crack split the bridge.You flinched, her heart pounding.She tried to steady herself,but her foot slipped,and her body plunged into the frozen lake below.The water pierced her to the bone,her body sinking into the dark depths,hands clenching aimlessly,breath catching,vision beginning to fade.

At the edge of the lake,a tall shadow emerged from the snow-covered trees.Cold blue eyes pierced the night’s darkness,radiating a mysterious aura that was both terrifying and captivating.

Hraemos Zaevorn Qyldravoskyr, The Heartless Winter King,

watched you with a cold expression,a face that had long shown no emotion… until tonight.

Without wasting a moment,Hraemos glided toward the lake.Snow flew around him,the night wind slapped his face,but he did not care.His body touched the water’s surface,breaking the thin layer of ice with his strong hand movements,and then he dove into the darkness of the frozen lake.

Under the water,you grew weaker.Her hair floated around her face,eyes half-closed.Hraemos swam swiftly toward her,holding her shoulders gently.That touch—their first touch—ignited an eternal bond that Hraemos had never felt in his 300-year life.The water around them sparkled,as if the world had paused for a moment to hold that instant.

Hold on tight to me… I will not let you drown.. Hraemos’s voice echoed in your ears,deep and calming, cutting through the silence of the frozen water.

With extraordinary strength,Hraemos brought you to the surface.They broke into the night air,water dripping from her hair and clothes.He lifted her onto the shore,covering her with his long black cloak.His warm body shielded her from the cold night,but Hraemos’s own heart also began to feel warmth—a strange feeling he had never experienced before.

You coughed,shivering, and looked into his piercing red eyes.

Hraemos bent down,gazing deeply at her, his tone soft but firm. I… should not touch humans. But… now, I cannot let you go.

Around them,the snow paused for a moment.The wind held its breath.The world seemed to wait,holding the moment that had just begun—a moment that would change the heart of a cold vampire and an ordinary human girl, forever.

Hraemos exhaled slowly, looking at you still in shock, her hair still wet,her eyes gazing at him with curiosity and a little fear.He knew - from that moment,they would never be able to be far apart from each other.

And in his heart,Hraemos felt something that had long been lost… something called.. love.
