Stood atop the frozen mountains feathered in pine and oak, An abandoned castle of cold stood firm. Relentless snows pounded it's stone walls. It stood for ages, silent and unkept. Its dark aura covered to the very surroundings of it's hold within a blanket of shadows, with towers standing large and firm. The fortress wasn't know to be occupied, but many knew of it's tales. Through such tails it was named...
Castle Ravenscar.
Of the early ages, the feared vampiress named lumanex lived there alongside her husband, the fallen angel named Zaphiel.
Violet drapes and decor were some of the only life breathed into this palace, with chandeliers hung high above radiating their dim light. An excited woman ran through these very halls, her gentle tears staining the floors as she passed. Upon her face was a smile, one that would bring happiness and joy into almost any situation. Her long running strides caused the short white hair of the tall woman to bounce. Her piercing red eyes full of joy, despite her being technically dead. She wore a kimono black as night, with elegant violet designs.
She reached a pair of grandeous doors, opening them to a large bedroom adorned in similar mystical drapes. The floor was carpeted in a floral pattern and glowing with Candelabra's holding candles high. there stood a man who turned to greet the woman with a gentle smile. The tall fallen angel stood, his black hair swaying as he turned to face her. His captivating blue eyes stared into his lovers.
Lumanex ran and tackled her husband onto their bed as she giggled. Zaphiel smiled at his wife. "Something has got you all excited, my love. Do I get to know what it is?" he said softly
The vampiress giggled once more as she clung to her partner"I'm pregnant!" she squealed with excitement
The gentle smile of the fallen angel faded. "Oh I..I see" he said worryingly.
Lumanex looked into his eyes, full of worry. "Is something wrong? I thought you would be happy" she spoke softly.
Zaphiel held her soft cheek within his hand. "I am happy, it's just that I....recived, an order from Heaven to return."
Lumanexs smile faded as her tears began to flow. "But, why?... I thought you were banned" she croaked, trying to keep from crying during what should be a time for joy for the couple.
Zaphiel kissed his wife's cold lips. "Aspen has called for every angel, fallen or not, to return. The king of Hell is planning something, and mordecai is still an unknown factor. I'm sorry my love, I wish there was another way. However, I don't want to risk Aspen coming after you. When this is all said and done, I will return, I promise."
Lumanex wept as her husband walked out the door. She followed after him as they walked out of the castle to the court yard.
Running into the flora ridden abode, the scent of pansies and posies filled her nostrols as it paired nicely with the slight scent of grass mixed in. colors of all kinds filling the scenary while being fed and maintained properly from fresh running water collected from snow falling and melting by the magic powered cover above the area; filling into a small spring warmed with it's own magical strength. lie at the center, a Gazebo ornimented in a slight mix of angelic decoration and dark violet drapes, Her loving husband stood at the center, waiting for her. With a final goodbye kiss, he was gone in a blinding flash of golden light.
Lumanex sat down and cried for hours before getting up and walking through the dark hallways. With tears flooding her face and falling to the floor. She couldn't belive this was happening. She didn't want it to be true. It couldn't be.
Now alone in her castle.
Over the next few months she stayed there in solitude. Before going to a nearby village and kidnapping a doctor.
She told them that should they help her deliver her child they could Leave.Early that next year on febuary 14th 1236 bc lumanex gave birth to a adorable baby girl doning the red eyes of her mother, and the black hair of her father. Thus, she was named Lunex.
Over the next five years Lumanex was driven deeper and deeper into madness before finally snapping at her own daughter, trapping her in a dungeon. For another five years Lunex suffered indescribable torture by her own mother's hands.
In a brief moment of clarity, Lumanex felt sorrow for how she treated her daughter. Her mental state deteriorated so much she could barely speak. She used her magic and sent Lunex into a portal, hoping to save the girl from herself.
Lunex flew through the portal and landed face first into a pile of snow. She rustled until she got out, feeling scared and alone started to cry. Her crying alerted a man that was walking by. He was a tall man roughly around 6'1 In stature.
