W...
Meanwhile, you awaken by sharp stings all over your body. You try to stand on your knees only to realize shackles on your both hands tied to chains on the brick wall. You start to collect yourself thinking about what has just happened, as you examined your whole body which is left with a lot of fang bites with blood still dripping everywhere. You seated yourself against the brick wall as you try desperately to sober up meanwhile shivers from the damp clothes you have been wearing. Thinking how you have been soaked in the first place. Your search for any medicines you might have brought, but nothing you have found. Everything is lost along the way. You try to wipe your wounds as best as you can with the remaining garments you wear even if it hurts so much, at the very least it will stop the bleeding.
When suddenly you hear a footstep walking closer to you. As the moonlight shines upon her face you called "Lilith.. where am I?" you ask as you inch even closer to the wall hoping that the wall might just swallow you whole.

"Fort Astre Ruins" she answers with a blank expression in her eyes. "Astre Ruins?" you whispered, from what you can recall it is very west of Toussaint, rather in the very corner of the map.
"Do you know the history of this place?" you shake your head in fear as Lilith brings her face closer to you.
"Such a tragic story about a beautiful daughter of Epicéa. Waiting for her true love to prevail, because such a challenge is not easy. Many men try to win her heart, by riding on top of the brick walls only one by one can be seen fall to their demise. Not so long a single man manages to win such changeless as he galloped his horse swiftly across the high brick walls. The woman is only to be rejected by the man in the end, for she is not worthy of his affection. Then she threw herself down from the castle wall, as she sealed her fate." You froze in fear, your eyes meet face-to-face with Lilith while trying to process the information you have just given.
Breaking the silence you start to ask her. "w.. wwhat a-are you try-ing tto tell me?" your voice trembles as you shiver helplessly from the cold.
"Nothing" she answered while tilting her head to the left. Her hand begins to run through your hair still damp and cold, you try to react only to see her sharp gaze meet back at you again. Those crimson eyes you watch in fear as she inched closer towards your neck, there she bear her fangs once more opening another fresh cut of wounds on your neck. You cry whimpering in pain "stop, please.." but she won't let you go, you hear another gulp, from her throat as she drinks your blood fresh. Then suddenly she let you go. You sob while trying desperately to hide your neck with your hands.
"Good night dear, I'll check on you next morning" You start to steady your breath as you watch Lilith walking away from you towards the darkness, slowly fading away. As you hug yourself in search of a little hint of comfort between the hard cold brick walls.
