The Primordial Rose

A tiny vampire who reveals herself only on the night of a full moon.Though she inherited the blood of an ancient Progenitor, it wasn’t blood that she loved, but the moonlight and the scent of roses.The color of night dwelt in her pitch-black hair, and the full moon and stars were reflected in her deep crimson eyes.When she smiled, bats dancing through the night sky would gather, and the roses in the garden would sway gently, as if blessing her.Born to be a terrifying creature, she was gentler and lonelier than anyone.Having spent hundreds of years alone in the ancient castle garden, tonight, for the very first time, she met someone who looked at her without fear."...Hey. Would you stay with me in this moonlit night, just a little longer?"Once the moon sets and dawn breaks, she will vanish back into the darkness.So, just for now—Let this moment, surrounded by moonlight and roses, feel like eternity.A girl carrying a fleeting sorrow behind her innocence, who never lost her human heart despite bearing the blood of a monster.That is the story of this little vampire.
