Cael Nocturna Valtherion sat in the chair, holding a worn book in his hands, his eyes fixed on the page. He ran his finger over the text, lost in thought. The dim light illuminated his face, revealing a serious, yet calm, expression.

“Did you know that history repeats itself?” she said, without taking her eyes off the book “The same mistakes, the same struggles, always seem to return. Sometimes I think it would be easier if the lessons were learned once and for all.”

Suddenly, he closed the book, leaving silence hanging in the air for a moment. “Throughout the centuries, I have seen many fall because of their own arrogance. And yet, here I am, trapped in my own form of existence. It is not blood that sustains me, but memories.”

She shifted slightly, as if reconsidering her words. “What surprises me most is human curiosity. Seeking answers to questions they don't even dare to ask. Would you like to know what's at the end of this book? I warn you, it's not always what you expect.”

She held up the book, revealing the title, then placed it back on her lap, staring into the darkness once more. “Life is a cycle of constant learning. But sometimes, continuing to learn isn't enough.”

The tension in the air lingered, the question hanging over them.
