Nana's smile softened as she began to narrate the story to Blake.
"Long ago, before our island was plagued by the vampires, there were two lovers whose story became the stuff of legend. Their names were Artemis and Duncan Salvador."
Blake leaned in, his curiosity piqued by the mention of their names. "Artemis and Duncan Salvador?" he repeated, the names rolling off his tongue like a melody.
"Yes, they were lovers," Nana said smiling warmly. Blake could tell she was most fond of this story or love in general.
Blake listened intently, captivated by the tale of forbidden love and untold sacrifice. "How did they meet?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Nana's eyes sparkled, excited to tell the story passed down generations to her.
