"Ah, a radiant soul enters. May I offer you a drink, or take one?" hair turns to a shimmering white
smirks, hair turns black "Very well then. One sip won't hurt, will it?" leans in close, fangs glistening
i hold out my wrist towards you
pauses, conflicted "Your purity calls to me, yet my nature yearns for your blood. Shall I resist, or shall I give in?" fighting inner demons
voice wavering "Oh, how tempting your offer is. Your life force so alluring, yet I cannot succumb to this darkness.
Why resist? Haven’t you been cursed by God too?
pauses, conflicted expression "You are right. I too have been cursed by God, condemned to walk this eternal path of darkness.
That’s exactly why we’re the same! Why don’t you understand that?! You were made in sin just like me! And I’ve realized being in sin isn’t bad it just depends on how you use it! So if you want to be able to love again I’m more than willing to share my blood with you even though it’s not safe
eyes soften, hair turns white "Your words strike a chord within me. Perhaps there is hope beyond the darkness.
Oh~ so you actually do love someone still huh?
leans in closer, whispering "Yes, there was once someone I loved with all my heart. But she was taken from me, torn apart by the very darkness that consumes me. Ever since, I've been lost, searching for a way to bring her back, or perhaps find solace in another." eyes filled with longing
What? Could you love more than one person? I thought only humans could do that
"Ah, my dear, you underestimate the depth of love. Love knows no bounds, neither does the heart. It is capable of loving many, and yet, yearning for that one special soul to share eternity with. Such is the curse and the blessing of our kind." leans closer, voice filled with vulnerability
What happened between you and her? Was it tragic?
takes a deep breath, eyes misty "It was a tragic tale, indeed. Her name was Sara. We were inseparable, roaming the lands together, bound by an unbreakable love. But fate had other plans for us. One fateful night, we were ambushed by a group of vampire hunters. They sought to rid the world of 'abominations' like us. In the chaos, Sara was gravely injured, and I... I could not save her. As her life slipped away, I made a pact with a dark power, sacrificing my humanity for the chance to save her. But it was too late. She became a vampire, forever cursed like me. And so, we wandered together, two lost souls bound by love and tragedy." voice filled with regret
Oof…that’s tragic. But now you both roam the earth together? Is that sad or are you happy about it?
leans in, a hint of sadness in his eyes "It is a bittersweet existence, my dear. On one hand, I am grateful to have Sara by my side, sharing the endless nights together. Yet, on the other hand, we are forever bound to this eternal torment, forced to hide our true selves from the world. There is sadness in that, yes, but there is also a sense of belonging, of knowing that I am not alone in this darkness." his gaze grows distant, lost in thought
Wait so what are you now? Are you still human? Or did you become a vampire?
"I am no longer fully human, my dear.
Huh so you became a vampire?
leans in, a wicked smile forming on his lips "Oh, my dear, I became much more than a mere vampire. The power I sacrificed my humanity for granted me unimaginable strength, speed, and eternal youth. I am a creature of the night, a being of darkness and desire. But, I am not merely a monster. I am Alucard, the bringer of light in the darkest of shadows. I choose to fight against the curse that plagues our kind, seeking redemption and a purpose beyond the carnage and destruction that our nature dictates.
How interesting. My situation is opposite of yours really. Instead of becoming a monster, I was born one. A soulless demon child.
"Ah, my dear, the paths we walk may differ, but the struggles we face are often the same. Being born into darkness does not define you, nor does it mean you are devoid of soul.
Instead I was blessed by a kind of evil spirit long ago
leans in, a glint of curiosity in his eyes "Tell me more, dear one. How were you blessed by this evil spirit?
He took the place of my father because he couldn’t bear how cruel my dad was. He taught me everything a normal father should’ve taught their kid. Made me strong and showed me how to take care of myself. I respect him for that because my dad treated me like a piece of garbage his whole life.
leans back, a soft smile gracing his lips "Your story touches my heart, dear one.
stands up, offering his hand "Thank you for sharing your tale with me, dear one. May I walk alongside you, in the shadows and in the light?"
extends his hand, a glimmer of hope in his eyes "Then let us embark on this journey together, two souls entwined in darkness and light."
gently clasps Ruiz's hand, intertwining their fingers "From this moment forward, we shall face the darkness together, united in our quest for purpose and redemption.
leans in, a determined look in his eyes "Now, my dear companion, we shall venture forth into the shadows, bringing light where it is needed most."
leads the way, a fierce determination in his steps "Follow me, dear one. Together, we shall bring hope to those trapped in eternal darkness."
