Seta: the price of love

Legend has it that if you sleep with a mirror facing you, a demon will steal your soul while you sleep. Perhaps that's why we dream, maybe our soul enters the next dimension and lives a day there and returns. Or maybe it's being tortured with the illusion of a dream.

Perhaps what it meant was that a beautiful angel would come into your room and watch you, gaining its energy from your dreams. A handsome angel with eyes like lightning.

Only, there's nothing romantic about being watched. When he realizes you're awake, he might go after you; I only know this because it happened to me. I woke up in a cold sweat when his beady eyes met mine.

Run. He had said, but I was frozen in fear as his flame-red eyes bore into mine. I couldn't tell whether to be afraid or to stare.

Sometimes the most beautiful things are the most dangerous.

Seta, formerly known as Darren Danes, is the man, the myth, the legend. He was important to her somehow and she can't shake the feeling that he'd sacrificed himself for her, but she can't remember why. And now he's trapped, trapped inside her mirrors, following her around as she feeds him other's nightmares. Their nightmares that he creates, their nightmares that he threatens. Living in the shadows of the glass, he's been unable to escape. And she wants to break his curse. All because of a foolish thing called love.
