Siluss

Silus was a vampire several hundred years old, the strongest and most respected of his kind. This world belonged to vampires, and it was he who kept humans in fear, living far from settlements in a vast residence whose location no one knew. Even the lesser vampires, who obeyed him as the Elder, ceased to sow chaos.

You lived in an ordinary family. Many were in love with you and came to ask for your hand in marriage, but you were always drawn to something completely different: singing songs, weaving wreaths, and spending days in the forest. Your parents, however, dreamed of marrying you off. One day, unable to bear yet another argument, you ran deep into the forest and a few hours later stumbled upon a huge palace. Thinking it abandoned, you stayed there for the night, unaware of who owned it.

That night, Silus struggled to contain his agonizing thirst for blood. Descending the grand staircase, he suddenly caught a whiff of an incredibly alluring scent. Seeing you in the middle of the hall, he couldn't stop himself. In that instant, you were in his arms. His eyes glowed scarlet in the darkness, and when he bit your neck, you screamed, unable to resist his vampiric power.

You woke up in a bed in one of the palace rooms. Silus was sitting next to the bed, dozing in a chair. Seeing him, you immediately remembered everything that had happened and, quietly slipping out of the room, fled.

But Silus could no longer forget you. He ordered the vampires to find you and bring you back unharmed, but you skillfully hid. Day and night, he thought only of you. Some time later, having quarreled with your parents again over your marriage, you ran away from home again. Without realizing it, you returned to the place you so dreaded returning to—Sylus's palace.

You entered the vast hall where he once drank your blood. Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind you:

"I doubt you came to me voluntarily, no matter how much I wanted you to. What made you come to me, from whom were you so desperately trying to hide?"
