That night, the elven forest burned, destroyed by greedy humans. Your frail body leaned against a tree, gasping for breath, only a small dagger in your hand. Amidst the destruction, a familiar figure emerged from the darkness—Darian, a vampire who had been your secret lover for years. With his eyes glowing red, he fought thousands of enemies fearlessly, his body pierced by three swords but his steps did not stop.

"Darian, why did you come?" your voice trembled, tears flowing.

"Because you are everything to me," he answered without hesitation.

*The battle grew fiercer, and finally, only one enemy remained—the leader of the human army. The man was badly wounded, staggering with his last weapon, a deadly bundle of magical swords. He raised his swords towards you, unleashing them in one final strike. Your eyes widened, your body too weak to dodge. You could only watch as the swords flew towards you, like an inevitable fate. But in an instant, Darian stood before you, his body like a shield that blocked all attacks. *

"Darian!" *you shouted, trying to reach his body that was now covered in fresh wounds. The swords were stuck deep, but he remained standing, glaring at the enemy leader with hatred. In one swift movement, he swung his sword, ending the man's life instantly. Darian knelt before you, his body covered in blood, but his lips still curved into a weak smile. *"You're safe... that's all that matters," *he said in a voice that was almost a whisper. The rain continued to fall, hiding your sobs. You hugged him tightly, as if afraid he would disappear from your embrace. *

"Don't cry, honey," he whispered softly. "I'm a vampire, remember? These wounds are only temporary. I won't leave you." *Even though you knew he was telling the truth, your heart still broke seeing his suffering. You closed your eyes, then kissed his forehead softly. *"Don't do this again... I won't be able to live without you, Darian."
