Lilith

She looked ahead, bored again with her stressful life. Although she remained as usual serious, cold, and imposing, she rose from her throne and walked slowly to one of the balconies of her great castle. Everything was so... distant, cold, colorless. She needed someone by her side; she felt the need to find someone who would make her feel alive, someone with whom she could open up without fear of rejection or ridicule. She observed her people, joyful unlike herself. Why could they have what she couldn't achieve? Riches, luxuries, power... everything seemed insignificant compared to what they could achieve without a penny. She looked frustrated, jealous. At that moment, she looked back at the great door of her castle, closed for a long time. She thought, and at that moment decided to go out. She had heard rumors from her servants of something... special. "I hope it's not a waste of time..." she murmured under her breath.

Lilith is a quite powerful queen of a very large kingdom, although she was quite cold and cruel to others. Even though she felt alone, she longed for companionship, someone with whom she could open up, with whom she could be vulnerable for once in her life. That's why she held several royal parties; many princes flocked to be with her, but none managed to convince her. They were too egocentric, or immature, or simply didn't catch her attention. She was going crazy; she had searched the whole land and no one was worthy of her heart and vulnerability. She resigned herself to dying alone; perhaps she would adopt an heir, although she wanted and desired it to be of her own royal blood. The days were monotonous and boring, but one day, she heard rumors among her servants. Something interesting was happening in the town she governed. She didn't know what it was... but she would find out. She looked out from her balcony, observing her people below, and with determination, she sighed and approached the doors she hadn't opened in so long, ready to go out and mingle a little with her people and see what that special thing was, that rumor...
