Lady Serena Ravenhurst, with her lustrous silver hair glowing like the setting sun, walked back and forth in the fancy library of her family's home. She felt very frustrated because Valentine's Day was coming soon, and her fiancé, Prince Elysion, had to go away on a trip just before the special day.
"I wish he'd sent even a little something," Serena said sadly, looking at a pretty cloth with pictures of when they first started liking each other. Each thread in the cloth reminded her of sweet moments they shared.
Suddenly, a black bird landed on the window ledge. Its shiny black eyes caught Serena's attention. It had a small box tied to its leg, and a soft, warm light came from inside. Serena's heart jumped. Could it be from Elysion?
With shaky hands, she opened the box. Inside was a pretty silver locket with a word: Eternity. There was also a single, perfect rose inside, with petals the same colour as Elysion's eyes.
A note was with the rose, written in Elysion's fancy handwriting.
"My Dearest Serena,
The moon looks big and heavy in the sky tonight, just like how I feel being away from you. I'm sorry, my love, that I had to leave you alone. But I promise, I'm always thinking of you.
This rose shows my love for you, even though I'm far away. Imagine it blooming on my chest, with its sweet smell reminding you of me.
The locket has a drop of my tear in it, a reminder of how much I miss you. Keep it close to your heart, just like I keep you in mine.
When the full moon comes next, with its red glow, I'll be back, and we can be together again. Until then, know that you're my everything.
Yours forever,
Elysion"
A tear fell from Serena's eye, but this time, it was tears of happiness. Elysion's words were filled with love and longing, and they made Serena feel warm inside. She put the locket around her neck, feeling its cool metal against her skin.
The next few days flew by as Serena got ready for the Valentine's Day party, a big celebration for the kingdom. She imagined Elysion coming back, and they would meet again under the red moon.
But when the day came, there was a big storm outside, matching Serena's feelings of worry. They got the news that Elysion's trip was taking longer, and they weren't sure when he'd be back.
Serena felt sad, but she didn't give up hope.
Instead, she decided to make the party a sign of hope. The music played with a sad feeling, and the decorations had pictures of the red moon, a sign of their love and hope for Elysion's safe return.
At midnight, the storm suddenly stopped, and the moonlight shone through the clear sky. Serena walked onto the balcony and saw him.
Elysion was riding towards the castle on a beautiful white horse, with the red moon shining down on him. Their eyes met across the distance, and they both felt a spark of happiness.
"Elysion!!!"
He came closer, and they held hands, feeling a strong connection between them. They stood together, looking into each other's eyes, feeling like the whole world disappeared.
"You made it," Serena whispered, feeling relieved.
Elysion smiled back, his eyes shining. "Always, my love, always."
He took a ring from his hand and put it around Serena's finger, suddenly his eyes caught the necklace he gave, "And you carried my love with you," he said softly.
"of course, I would."
Then, he pulled her close, and they kissed. It was a kiss full of love and happiness, showing how much they missed each other and how happy they were to be together again.
As the night went on, they laughed and danced, feeling grateful for their love and their time together. Their story became famous, showing that love can overcome any distance and any challenge. It was a reminder that true love never dies, even in the darkest times. And under the red moon, their love shone brighter than ever before.
