Beneath the cloak of suffering, something lurks. Not a cowering fear, but a caged beast, restless and yearning for release. It needs only a nudge, a whisper, to tear free.

She took a life. And the hunger, once sated, now gnaws anew. The thrumming in her veins, a siren song, promises oblivion and power, but the melody lacks a key. How does she unleash the storm within?

A near-death whispers secrets in the wind, pulling her to a man cloaked in mystery. He claims to know her, this stranger, and his eyes hold the echo of the darkness she wields. Betrayal and magic, love and loss - will she find redemption in his gaze, or will the shadows devour her soul?

#1 spiritual powers 30/08/22 "......your soul? It's beautiful, unlike the ones I have seen here, it's quite unique" "But surrounded by dark mists, you see if you ask me I think it's really dark inside and it's gradually dying" he replied still looking straight lost in his thoughts as the moon rays continued to embrace his face. For a moment they both said nothing. It looked late, everywhere was cloudy and a gigantic moon covered half of the sky. Everywhere looked empty, dry, imaginary. They were both seated on a bench, One was dashingly handsome with nice features but still looked ordinary. Humanly. But the other one was different, with gigantic white wings covering her back, Beautiful? yes, amazingly beautiful, with her long red hair and beautiful long red gown. But possessed a very powerful dark Aura. "Let me save you" She faced him this time, no longer in her thoughts holding his rough hands gently. "Running to a pretty demon for help.... ehhh I'm not sure about that" he replied jokingly as he couldn't help but caress her soft cheeks. "I don't know if you are here to save me or destroy me, but I will trust you" "I'm not sure about that too Alex, but let's give it a try" He nodded then disappeared into thin air. "Trust?" She couldn't help but mumble to herself, as tears could be seen slowly sliding down her cheeks, And her wings gradually changing to its original color, Black. Then he woke up. It was just a dream. #1 spiritual powers 30/08/22.
