"Once, one wrote a story about a vampire, a mighty and majestic vampire, colder that the dark night and who loved drinking blood. His unreachable immortality was appalling and envied by humans. Born in a lineage of royalty, and despite his power, he was unknown by his own people and lived far away from all beings. He crossed time and countless eras without any damage, witnessing the birth and evolution of humanity. With a timeless beauty that remained as fascinated and unbreakable, he painted with his own existence the myths of world.
And one day, this magnificent creature, who could not understand light, fell in love and still, with the race he ate and despised the most, human.
Through their unbelievable story, he revealed her what was he, so without a blink, she sat up straight to ask him what he was afraid the most she'd do.
- Vivo, makes me immortal, and you will no longer have to be alone in your life of eternity.
But the lonely immortal shook slowly his head, smiling tenderly.
- You are so human, and like all your fellows, you are fierce, living, and so whole. That's why I envied your race more than anything. And unlike me, you ignore the burden of time. Seeing the people you affectionate as much die, no longer be able eating anything but blood, and existing timelessly in this world filled with endless suffering with nowhere to go except darkness. I want to spare anyone, mostly you such destiny.
- But you also ignore the suffering of those who love people infinitely but are unable to save them like me now, because they are only humans.
She caressed his face.
- Vivo, you don't get it yourself, but the expression you wear every time is so hurtful, so hurtful that the people who loved you preferred to die, just to escape this view.
That's how I used to think too before you revealed me the truth. She kissed his eyes. How sad Vivo to see you so mighty but alone, powerless you always saw your precious persons die before you, leaving you behind with an irreparable broken heart. But,... the time has come that a person will cross this line that no one had dared to, for reaching immortality and break your loneliness forever.
- And it's you?
- Yes, Me. So I beg you, do not be afraid of disappointing me or breaking me, by the way we'd have
time for us to live on this and to be healed from.
- You're really too stupid. Too ignorant and too...
He stopped his sentence, only making vague gesture with his white hands.
- I know Vivo, but no one can stop people's desire by simple words, not even you. And, I want you to always remember that. I chose this Vivo, each moment, now and ever.
- You will never see the light of day again. I am someone unable to get the marvel of this thing you humans are so fond for, but I am enough aware of the fact that you will miss it more than you'd ever imagine.
And me, I will never have the knowledge to comfort you about this pain.
- I am perfectly conscious of that. We know the reality, but I am already settle down about all those things I will lose forever, and the pain it will gave me that would last. However, I will get what I desire the most, so I am sure that I'd be satisfied more than enough already. I will never regret this choice.
Vivo hid his face in her silky hair, as golden as the light in dusk.
- Please don't desire it Darlia. I beg you.
- I am sorry my love, I can't help myself, for I desire it.
- No
- And I can bring you so much, I can give you baby, I can give you the warm of a family, I can love you for centenaries, I can give you everything except what you yearn more than anything, this wonderful mortality, and I never can. Then Vivo, in order for me to compensate to you this unreachable dream, I'll join you in the bottomless darkness where you're forever locked in, and I will love you so, that at the end you will forget this part of the life.
He closed his eyes and smiled, then he took her in his hands, holding her so tightly.
- Then so be it, I'll give you the weight of eternity. Be sure to stand all.
- Yes Vivo, I will.
- I love you Darlia.
Slowly, he removed her clothes, and slowly he kissed all her body all over until each point of it became unbearably warm. And soon, he reached her intimate parts, his tongue entered in and prepared it before something even more amazing went in.
But this time, it was entirely different, as he also penetrated into her the breath of immortality. He messed her up down until her body stopped to be mortal.
And he pierced her neck with his teeth and drank her blood, her mortality, her humanity, after few minutes, as they saw it until the end, her right of light have faded away forever from her.
