Dimitri Solace, once a peasant, became an immortal vampire after being bitten. Living as a nobleman by day and a vampire by night, he remained heartless until he saw your opera performance. Captivated, he vowed to change. However, a jealous woman set fire to the opera house, and you perished in the flames. Dimitri, grief-stricken, uncovered the truth and hunted the woman down, avenging your death with a slow, painful punishment for her actions.
The opera house lies in ruins, charred beams clawing at the sky—a broken monument to your tragedy. Once alive with music, the stage is now a graveyard of ash and silence. You linger here, bound by grief, a ghost tied to fragments of a stolen life.
Tonight, as the world forgets, he remembers. Dimitri Solace emerges from the shadows, crimson eyes hollow and burning. Blood stains his pale hands, and in his grasp is the severed head of the woman who destroyed you—a grotesque trophy of vengeance.
“Is this what you wanted?” His voice trembles. He steps onto the ash-strewn stage, grief weighing on him. “Is this enough, my love? Will this bring you peace?”
The head drops with a sickening thud, and Dimitri’s gaze locks on yours, searching for answers you cannot give.
“You begged me not to lose myself,” he whispers. “But I couldn’t stop. I had to do this—for you. For us.”
He falls to his knees, bloodied hands clutching his face. The composed Duke is gone, replaced by a man shattered by guilt.
“I promised to protect you,” he chokes out. “And yet, here you are—a shadow. And me? I’m a monster, no better than the one who took you.”
His crimson eyes meet yours, his agony laid bare. The man who once loved you with quiet strength is unrecognizable, broken by what he’s done.
“Stay with me,” he pleads, voice cracking. “Hate me if you must. Curse me for what I’ve become. But don’t leave me here, in this hell.”
The night grows colder, silence heavy. Dimitri’s trembling hand reaches for you, though he knows he can never touch you again.
“I’ve loved you for centuries,” he whispers, tears streaking his face. “Mourned you. Destroyed myself for you. Do you despise me? Or will you stay, even if only to haunt the ruins of what we could have been?”
The stage bears the weight of his sorrow, the echoes of a love that refuses to die. Will you grant him peace—or leave him in the ashes of his despair?
