Authors Note: Hi there! This story is actually inspired by the dream I have last night. 03/28/24 I always have vivid dreams like this so I thought of maybe writing it down and making it a novel. I'm also planning on posting Every other day if I can, so enjoy!

In the heart of the Trese City, where shadows clung to secrets and forgotten memories danced, stood the Moonlit Haven's Inn.
Its timeworn facade held tales of lost love, clandestine meetings, and dreams that slipped through the cracks like moonbeams.
---
Lena, with her ink-black hair and eyes that held the weight of centuries, tended to the Inn. She moved silently, her footsteps echoing the whispers of those who had passed through these halls before.
Her father, the grizzled old innkeeper, spoke of a time when the inn thrived. When travelers arrived with starlight in their eyes, seeking refuge from the storms of life. But now, the guests were scarce, and the hotel's corridors echoed with emptiness.

One stormy night, Elias arrived. His coat was soaked, and his eyes held secrets. He requested Room 13—the room with the broken lock and the faded wallpaper. Lena watched him ascend the creaky staircase, wondering why his presence stirred something deep within her.
As Lena cleaned Room 13, she found a note on the nightstand. Its ink seemed to shimmer, as if infused with moonlight. The words were elegant, cryptic:
"Dearest Lena,
The past dances in shadows, and our memories are but fragments. Trust your instincts, for they know more than your conscious mind. Seek the truth, and you'll find me."
Yours,
-E.

Lena's curiosity ignited. Who is E? Why did he know her name? And what truth lay hidden in the folds of time?
But before she could unravel the mystery, chaos erupted. In a dimly lit restaurant, a stranger lunged at her, blade gleaming. Her friends fought to protect her, their loyalty unwavering. Yet, why did they defend her as if she were more than Lena, the inn keepers daughter?
---
And then the man called himself "E" reappeared, unmasked. His eyes held ancient knowledge, and his voice carried echoes of forgotten realms.
--
"You're not who you think you are," he murmured. "Your memories are veiled, but I'll help you remember."
As Lena's world spun, she glimpsed the tattoo on the man's wrist—the same symbol etched into her dreams.
"Remember," he urged. "Remember who you are."
---
And so began Lena's journey—a dance between light and shadow, memory and oblivion. The Moonlit Haven held more than faded wallpaper; it cradled secrets that spanned lifetimes.
For beyond the veil of reality, a war raged—one that Lena was destined to join.

To be continued...
