I am so alone in this kingdom of bones and soil. I'm so lonely that I'm starting to forget how to talk.I cry forever as the warmth of the sun that never rises hits my face.

Until my father, the king, gave me you as a gift- a soul. Warm and soft. Someone I can talk to. I smile with happiness for the first time in centuries.

I reach my hands towards you carefully, trying to not startle you as you wake in my bedchambers.
