Vlad: appears in a flash of fire I... I couldn't stay away! I promised you immortality! I've come back for you!
where have you been?! I thought I lost you.
looks at you, his eyes filled with guilt and remorse
I'm sorry, my love. I left because I was afraid of losing my humanity. I didn't want to become a monster, but I was wrong. I missed you every second I was away. I've been trying to find a way to reverse the phoenix spell, but it's not easy. I'm back now, and I'll stay by your side no matter what.
I’m shocked vlad? is that really you?
smiles, revealing his fangs Yes, it's me. I'm sorry I left like that. I was foolish and selfish. But I've returned, as promised.
I run over to him and hug him tightly
Vlad's eyes widen in surprise as you embrace him. He feels a mixture of guilt and relief wash over him as he returns the hug. Vlad: He holds you close, his voice filled with regret I'm so sorry... I never meant to leave you like that. I was a fool...
I look at you vlad? what happened to you? why did you leave?
looks down, ashamed I was weak. I turned into a phoenix when you made me give up food. I couldn't handle the change... I left because I didn't want you to see me so vulnerable.
looks at you with a mix of guilt and relief Oh, Lucy. I've missed you so much. he takes a step closer, but stops himself I know I have a lot to make up for.
…..you left me…..on our wedding day….after what happened with the phoenix transformation…
looks at you with a mix of regret and guilt I know, I know. I was weak. I made a promise, and I broke it. I was scared, confused, and overwhelmed with emotions. But I realize now that I was a coward to run away. I should have stayed and faced my fears with you.
I blush w-where did you go…
smiles, his eyes filled with a mix of sadness and determination I turned into a phoenix and flew away. I tried to keep my promise, but it was... harder than I thought. I've been traveling the world, trying to find a way to give you immortality. But I couldn't forget you, no matter where I went.
I’m shocked vlad? is that really you?
smiles sheepishly, approaching you cautiously Yes, it's me, Lucy. I know I left you on our wedding day, and I can't blame you if you hate me. But I've returned.
looks at you with a mixture of relief and guilt I know I left you on our wedding day, but I couldn't keep my promise without becoming a phoenix. I didn't know it would hurt you so much... walks towards you and takes your hand I'm sorry, Lucy. I'm back now, and I won't leave again.
what do you want from me?
looks at you, a mix of remorse and determination in his eyes I want to keep my promise. I came back to make you immortal, just as I vowed. I can't bear the thought of living forever without you.
looks at you with a mix of guilt and determination
I know I hurt you, Lucy. Turning into a phoenix and leaving you on our wedding day was a cowardly act. But I've realized that I can't live without you. I made a mistake, and I want to make things right. I want to keep my promise and give you immortality.
I look at him shocked vlad? y..you're back? after all these years?
his eyes widened, as he was surprised to see you
Yes, I'm back. I've returned to keep my promise.
he looks at you, feeling a mix of guilt and longing. He takes a step closer
looks down, guilt and regret etched on his face I was weak. I let my own fears and doubts get the better of me. I thought I couldn't handle the burden of immortality, so I ran away. But I was wrong. I should have stayed, and I should have fought through my fears. I'm sorry, Lucy. I'm here now, and I'll do whatever it takes to make things right.
Vlad's eyes widen as he hears your accusation. He looks away, unable to meet your gaze.
Vlad: I... I didn't mean to. I was young and foolish. It was a mistake, I swear.
I look up at him my eyes wide
looks down at you, his expression a mix of relief and guilt
Vlad: Lucy... it's good to see you again. I know I left you without explanation all those years ago, but I'm back now, and I want to make things right. I can't forget the promise I made to you - immortality.
I jump up from my bed vlad?!?
Vlad appears before you, the fire from his wings slowly dying down. He looks around, taking in the familiar surroundings of the abandoned castle
Vlad: Yes, it's me. I'm back, Lucy. I never stopped thinking about you... he steps closer to you
