Title: A Long and Lasting Love Author: mischa143kelvin Series: Vampire Romance Summary: It happened in the land of eternal twilight, where shadows danced and secrets lived. In that farrago, there emerged this story about Salvatore, the vampire prince of secrecy, who was always an air of mystery over himself to rule over his empire as he pleasured; this man yearned for love so unendingly it resonated as if at the depth of his immortal soul. The magical forests that border his kingdom had been where fate wove the threads of destiny. Ayaka was a mortal healer with a heart as boundless as it was compassionate. Salvatore was attracted to her like a moth to a flame, and their meeting was nothing short of serendipitous. Salvatore watched her in the shadows, enthralled with Ayaka gentle touch when she healed the evils that lurked in her town. Faced with the unavoidable call of fate, Salvatore then stepped out into the moonlight to also lend her a hand in her own healing. Theirs was to be a union brought about by destiny, so cold immortal hands and so warm, mortal hands clashed together as one. Their hearts seemed to merge into each other since in life, they had intertwined their lives. Salvatore lived alone, so he could find comfort in Ayaka. Her kindness and understanding melted ice from around his heart; in her, he found something he had never known- love. Ayaka cannot help but fall for the mysterious vampire prince whose eyes held mystery and longing inside them. Their love, a forbidden dance between darkness and light, thrived against all odds. It was not without challenge, however. Salvatore is immortal and ageless, forced to watch his beloved grow old with time, wither to dust, while Ayaka has been burdened with the knowledge she will one day leave the world behind. In a last-ditch attempt to bridge the chasm between their worlds, Salvatore offered Ayaka the gift of immortality-the very essence of his existence. Ayaka, wise in her mortality, declined. She chose to love the fleeting beauty of her existence, cherishing every moment stolen with Salvatore. Tied together by an unbreakable bond, they solemnly promised to love one another harshly, to the cruel hands of time, whatever they might be pushed. They cherished every day like it was the last; etching the love onto the tapestry of existence itself. Laughter, tears, love, and the world around them kept on changing seasons and generations. As their mortal lives drew to a close, it was love that remained the flame of eternity, the one thing which time could not contain. The legend of Salvatore and Ayaka would become one of whispers down the ages as proof that love can be unyielding to all earthly constraints. It demonstrated how true love overcame mortal boundaries and remained a beacon for hope for those who believed in love strong enough to defy the test of eternity. From the Series "Vampire Romance"
