.: Past :.
I grew up in a small village in the countryside. Arendale was full of wildlife. Breathtaking scenery all around. I remember playing with the other children in my village, hiding amongst the trees and bushes. I was seven years old at the time. One day while we were playing hide and seek, it seemed like every spot I wanted to hide in was occupied by someone else.

"Ready or not, here I come!" I glanced in the direction of the voice before I ran. I ran to the one place where I knew I wouldn't be found. The Catacombs..... The same Catacombs that our parents forbade us from entering. As I heard what sounded like footsteps approaching, I made my way deeper into the Catacombs. Deeper and deeper I went into the twisting tunnels, until the light began to fade into an eerie green hue. As I walked down a long corridor, I noticed a set of stairs. Walking up them led me to an alter of sorts. The only source of light were the hundreds of candles placed around the alter. There were people kneeling there, all wearing long black cloaks with hoods pulled low. That was the one thing that I remembered most from my childhood.

.: 15 years later :.
I matured into an adult, spending most of my free time sewing and working in my garden. But after I met Marcus, everything changed. I fell in love with him. And things were great... Until that one day that I will never forget.

".... You... did what?" I stared at Marcus in disbelief. "I used you. After Mary broke my heart I decided to try my chances with you. You just... got attached." I'd never felt so angry in my entire life. I was beyond enraged. "I trusted you. Everyone told me that you would never even think of hurting me. That you cared about me. But you did exactly what she did to you, to me."

"I'm sorry, Aleera."

I felt my hands ball into fists as he turned his back on me. "Not as sorry as I am for trusting you in the first place." I found myself slamming him into the wall of the cavern, only to be pushed away. But as the man that left me absolutely heartbroken, the man that I never thought would hurt me, began to walk away, something deep inside of me snapped. My knee met the back of his leg, causing it to buckle beneath him. As he dropped in front of me, I grabbed his head, and twisted it sharply. The sickening crack of his neck snapping echoed through the cavern. He fell forward heavily, face falling beneath the water. I stared at the body of the man that I had loved with my entire heart. He had hurt me, knowing that I trusted him, knowing that I absolutely adored him exactly how he was. There was no remorse for what I had done.

The news of Marcus' death spread quickly once the body was found. Everyone kept asking how I was doing. They had always said that we made the perfect couple. That it was obvious that we cared a great deal about one another. I made snide remarks each and every time. Gradually, everyone stopped asking. Though one of the men in our village took any opportunity to offer me his assistance, or pester me. It seemed as though he preferred the latter. Every morning, he'd stop by and lean against the fence while I worked in my garden. This morning was no different. I heard the fence creak from behind me as he leaned his weight on it. "Good morning, Madam Aleera. Lovely day now, isn't it?" I shifted around to be able to keep my eyes on him as I worked. "Indeed it is, Richard. Is there some reason that you deemed it necessary to.... grace me with your presence today?" He chuckled. "Oh how your sarcasm amuses me. Actually, I wanted to ask you something. I want you to take a walk with me. It's a lovely day, and let's be honest, you're not as discreet with your attraction for me as you think you are." He said with a wink. "Oh please, don't flatter yourself. Your arrogance and your ego are enough to make any woman cringe." I shot back, causing him to chuckle once again. "Oh, my poor heart. Must you be so cruel, Madam Aleera?" I rolled my eyes as he laid a hand over his chest. "How many times do I have to tell you? Don't call me 'Madam Aleera'!"

"Would you prefer 'Lady Aleera'? 'My dearest Aleera'? 'My Love' perhaps?" At that point, I threw a rock at him, scowling as he ducked. "Damn your reflexes to hell!" I stood, brushing a bit of dirt from my dress. "Oh come now, Aleera.... Humor me, join me on my walk." My head hung in defeat. I could swear that he broke into a massive grin when I finally agreed. Our walks became a daily ritual. He would make some statement to boost his ego, and I would immediately make a statement to bruise it. The more we talked, the more I started to realize that he was putting in more of an effort to talk to me than I had thought. Everyone else in our village seemed put off by my snide remarks but... not him. Unlike everyone else, he never brought up Marcus.

One morning as we walked, he pulled me from our normal path. He had never done this, but I had never questioned him, and I wasn't going to start now. I followed for nearly an hour before he finally stopped near a waterfall. It was so beautiful. I had never even known that there was one anywhere near Arendale. I turned to him, a curious look on my face. "Now how did you come across a place so tucked away like this?" He gave me a slow smile. "One can come across a wide variety of things." Was his only answer. I laughed, settling down at the waters edge. He sat beside me and we just.... listened. We must've been sitting there for at least an hour before he cleared his throat. "Aleera, I wanted to give you something... for your birthday." I looked at him, raising a brow. "My birthday isn't for another week." He laughed as he dug around his bag. "I'm well aware of that. I figured now would be as good a time as any to give you this." He handed me a box, gesturing to it. "Well don't just sit there staring at me... Open it."

And I did. Inside I discovered a ring... A ring that just so happened to be made from silver and aquamarine. By this time, he was lying back, looking as if he were about to start napping. "... You're wondering, right? I know aquamarine is your favorite gemstone. I also know that you absolutely detest gold." Things between Richard and I seemed to... blossom after that day. We were in no way dating, but we spent quite a bit of time together. He had even started helping me in my garden, and escorting me everywhere I went outside of Arendale. He was apparently worried that I'd cross paths with a wolf or a bandit. Things were great... And then suddenly everything changed. Richard became distant, cold. I made the mistake of assuming he just needed some time alone. I was walking home a few days later, pausing as I heard a giggle... and Richard's voice. As I went to investigate, I saw Richard leaning in and kissing another woman. "Oh you have got to be kidding me!" He looked over as he heard me yell. I stormed off, stopping only when he finally caught up to me and grabbed my arm. "Aleera wait." I turned to face him, yanking my arm from his grasp. "Did you honestly think I'd ever be interested in someone like you?"

I'm not sure what I had been expecting, but that definitely wasn't it. I stood there in silence as he continued. "You closed yourself off to everyone, and I wanted to see how long it would take before you trusted me. Aleera, it was just a game to pass the time. You know how boring things get around Arendale. Don't get me wrong, you're beautiful b-" I shoved him back before he could finish his sentence. "It's in your best interest to stay as far away from me as possible." I hissed dangerously. He took the hint, and headed back the way he had come.

I decided to go for a walk to be alone. I felt so... lost and hurt. I should've felt angry, but the whole conversation had yet to sink in. I wandered around the woods, crossing through fields and over bridges. That's when I stumbled upon one of the entrances to the Catacombs. I stared into the darkness, remembering being in the same situation as a child. I'm not sure why, but I found myself entering the darkness, lit only by torches every dozen or so paces. I had never noticed this entrance. I found a path that seemed familiar to me. I followed the corridor, heading up the stairs only to find.... the alter. The same alter that I had stumbled upon 15 years before. Only this time, I made my way down to the candle-lit area. There were no cloaked figures this time around. The farther into the alter I went, the more at ease I felt. I turned around sharply, having heard something behind me. My eyes hadn't adjusted to the lighting, but I felt myself being grabbed by two abnormally strong hands. I would've screamed, had it not been for the hand that covered my mouth.

"Do not scream lest you want to be killed. Do you understand?"

I nodded slowly, and the hand over my mouth was removed. "You're Aleera, correct?" I stared at the man before me, nodding again. "The master wanted to see you. Let's go." I was nudged into a walk, following after the man that had grabbed me, the other walking behind us. Some of the paths were too narrow to walk side by side, so we walked single file with me walking in between the both of them. As we reached the heart of the Catacombs, I saw a small pond surrounding a platform. They stopped, gesturing for me to approach the man standing upon it. It took me a moment to gather my courage, but I stepped forward, staring at the man's back. He turned to face me, removing his hood.

"Aleera my dear, so good of you to join me."

"I didn't exactly have a choice in the matter.... Who are you?"

A chuckle escaped his lips before he answered me. "My name, my dear, is Demetri Kovari." The name alone made my entire body rigid. "Demetri... The-"

"Demetri Kovari. One of the few master vampires. The man whose name makes humans fear for their lives." I said suddenly. He purred, smirking at me. I couldn't help but stare. "So I see you've heard of me. Good... Though I'm curious. Most humans think I'm just a myth, a story that mothers tell to their children to make them behave.... What made you believe?" I stood up straight, eyes going cold as I stared at the man. "Not everything that goes bump in the night is just a myth." He accepted my answer, leaving the subject alone. "Why did they bring me here saying that the master wanted to see me?" I asked firmly, hands balling into fists. "You are a very special woman, Aleera. Your will is strong. Your rage, untamed. I wanted them to bring you here because I wanted to give you a gift."

"A gift?"

"The gift of eternal life."

I stared at him, eyes still hard. ".... Eternal life..." I repeated, watching as he smirked at me. "You would make an absolutely marvelous vampire. You're fearless. Strong. Both body and mind.... And you don't seem to mind killing much." I had returned my eyes to the ground until I heard him utter those last words. I immediately looked up at him, eyes widening just a bit.
"I know you killed Marcus in a fit of rage. I-"

"He screwed me over just like his former love had done to him! He wasn't even sorry for hurting me! He deserved what happened to him!" I hissed, feeling that same rage come bubbling up to the surface.

"I didn't say you did anything wrong. You put your trust in him, and he betrayed you. He broke your heart, so you broke his neck. A fair trade I would say." He murmured as he reached a hand out for mine. I allowed my hand to slide into his, squeezing it lightly. "Aleera, my dear... You've been through so much. You've had your heart and your trust shattered. I'm offering you a new life... A life in which to do whatever your heart desires." I stared off at the water, completely and utterly silent.

"Will you accept my gift?"

It seemed like I stood there for hours until I broke the silence. "Yes."

Master vampires would rarely turn people themselves. They hadn't for many, many years. The ones they turned always became too strong. Too uncontrollable. Demetri turned me himself. He held me close as his fangs punctured my neck. He had been able to lull my mind into a peaceful state. That's the last thing that I remember before I blacked out.

I bolted upright in an unfamiliar bed, gasping. I was alone, and I knew I wasn't in my home. My home was small. Incredibly small, but big enough for me to live by myself in peace. The room I was in was as big as my little home was, maybe bigger. I climbed out of the comfortable bed, leaving the room and heading down the hall quietly. I walked downstairs, wandering through the house. But as I walked through the living area, I stepped into the sunlight streaming in from one of the windows and froze..... Weren't vampires vulnerable to the sun?

"The rumors are true. Vampires can't walk in the sun."

"..... Then why can I-" I started, but he cut me off. "You were turned by a master. You're able to walk in the sun." He explained casually. ".... Lovely." I said as I looked around. "I laid out some clothing for you. Proper clothing. Upstairs. Go now."

I stared at him, brow arching. "If you wanted those men to bring me to you, then that means you had been watching me before then, correct?"

"That's right."

"Then you of all people should know better than to command me to do something." I said, causing him to look at me in surprise. But the look of surprise was replaced by one of amusement. "Having you around is proving to be highly entertaining." He smirked, before turning and leaving the room. I stared after him, then walked upstairs. Returning to the bedroom I had been in before led me to discover a long, elegant black dress. There was a slit up the front up to the waist to reveal a white dress beneath it. There was also a set of matching boots and gloves beside it. I got dressed in silence, finding that the clothing fit my figure perfectly. A knock at the door caused me to turn around. ".... You look incredibly elegant." I offered a small smile as Demetri allowed me to take his arm. "Where are we going?" I questioned, glancing up at him. He patted my hand lightly. "We're going to take you out to get a bite to eat." He smirked. "Why does it feel like I haven't eaten in ages?" I asked as we started to head out the door. He simply laughed. "You were in transition. You don't remember it, but you were in pain because of it. So I lulled your mind into a deep slumber. You've been asleep for a few weeks now." He explained before he began to lead me down a dirt path.

We arrived at our destination as it neared nightfall, Demetri guiding me just to the outskirts of Arendale. ".... Why are we here?" I asked, jaw setting. This was the last place I wanted to be. "Because you have unresolved issues here." Unresolved issues? The only issue that came to mind was Marcus, and I had taken care of that myself. Two of Demetri's servants headed up the path towards us, dragging what looked to be a hooded man along between them. They dropped him in front of me and pulled the hood off of him. I found myself staring at Richard, who looked like he was about to panic until he saw me. He had been bound and gagged. Demetri squeezed my hand before letting it go and allowing it to drop to my side. "I know he hurt you. What better way to deal with it than to feed off of him and kill him!" He said happily, stepping around Richard. He grabbed his hair, pulling his head to the side to expose his neck. "Can you hear the blood rushing through his veins? Can you hear his heart racing a mile a minute?" He released his hair as I stepped forward. I grabbed Richard by the hair, tugging it to get him to look me in the eyes.

"Is it still just a game?"

He closed his eyes as I whispered into his ear. I buried my fangs into his neck hard enough to make him jolt in surprise, damn near draining him before I finally stopped. I panted from the sudden rush of adrenaline, taking a moment to wipe the blood from my lips. He looked up at me weakly as I held the sides of his face. Without a second thought, I snapped his neck, allowing him to fall to the side. "Now that that's taken care of, let's go home and toast to your new life!" Demetri sounded absolutely thrilled. We returned to his estate, mostly in silence. Demetri wouldn't stop babbling on about how proud he was. I ignored him, of course. He kept talking, even as we walked inside.

"Such a shame though. He was an intelligent man. If he had stayed out of my way, he wouldn't have had to die."

I looked up as Demetri settled down onto one of the couches. ".... What do you mean?" He smiled at my question, pouring himself a glass of wine. "I've been watching you for a very long time Aleera. I've wanted to turn you for years, and I saw my chance after you killed Marcus. But then that human got in the way." I stared at him, body rigid. He kept that same sick smile on his face as he spoke. "You were falling for him, and I couldn't have that. Mind control is... a wonderful ability to learn. I compelled him to kiss another woman, to say those things to you. I had to make him break your heart, otherwise your attachment to him would've ruined my plans for you." I couldn't take my eyes off of him. "So he didn't want to..." Demetri chuckled. "No he didn't. In fact, I found it very difficult to control him. The mere idea of hurting you was something that he was strongly against." He took another sip of wine and I willed myself to move. I gave him an amused smile, hand sliding onto his shoulder. Slowly toying with his hair as I stood behind him. I leaned down to his ear, breathing out lightly, eyes settling on a quill on the table beside him. My free hand curled around it, and I promptly stabbed it into his chest. "You made a very big mistake. I loved him." I hissed into his ear as he gasped. I twisted sharply before letting go. "You know staking me doesn't work." He growled, voice a bit strained. "Of course I know that. You did tell me that only fire can kill a master vampire, after all. Well, that or taking off their head. But that's such a messy job. Maybe spilling all your secrets on our walk wasn't the best idea." I replied as I walked around in front of him. I picked up one of the lamps, disassembling it as I listened to him growl. I slowly began to pour the kerosene over him, a small smile tugging at my lips. As long as that quill was lodged in his chest, he couldn't move. "Remove it." He snarled.

"Are you regretting having turned me yourself? Are you panicking because I'm too strong to bend to your will?" We stared long and hard at one another before I finally stepped closer. "You tricked me into killing a man, an innocent man. A man that I cared a great deal about. And for that, you will face judgement." My voice was barely a whisper, but his eyes were already starting to show panic. I held the lit portion of the lamp up in front of me as I stared him directly in the eyes. "I hope you burn in hell." I dropped it, turning away as he started to shriek in pain. I left the estate without looking back and returned to the outskirts of Arendale. Richard's body was still lying there in the road. I slowed as I reached him, staring quietly. My emotions seemed to hit me all at once and I found myself kneeling down beside him. I eased down fully, pulling his upper body up into my lap. Tears began to slide down my face, despite how hard I tried to stop them. I untied his hands and undid the gag gently, tucking his hair behind his ear. "I'm so sorry Richard."

I was so distracted that I didn't notice the group of men that had stopped a few feet away. ".... You're the woman that Demetri turned." I looked up, staring at the man in front of the group with teary eyes. He motioned to the men with him, and they reached for Richard. "Don't touch him!" I hissed, holding onto him just a bit tighter. The man put both of his hands up, as if to assure me that they weren't there to cause trouble. "We'll give him a proper burial, but you need to come with me." I wiped my tears away, hesitating before I let go and allowed them to lift Richard. "And why should I go with you?" I asked, my eyes never leaving Richard's body. ".... I need to have a.... talk with Demetri concerning you, and I think it would be better if you were there as well." I shook my head slowly. "Good luck with that, he's dead." Silence followed. "...... Dead?"

I looked directly at him. "He tricked me into killing a man I cared about. So I staked him and then I burned him." He immediately rose a brow. ".... Well then, it seems as though my journey here was a bit of a waste. Although...." He trailed off as he watched me intently. "Demetri turned you. You're stronger than the typical vampire. Without guidance, you're a danger to everyone around you. You've already killed once, I can't ju-" I grabbed him by his collar, grasping it tightly. "I never would have hurt him had Demetri not tricked me." Tears were streaming down my cheeks once again. He stared down into my eyes, slowly patting my wrists. "Calm down, dear. What I meant was, you have yet to learn how to control yourself. I can help you." I let go of him, shaking my head and brushing my hair from my face. "You can't help me. Demetri was a master vampire." The man dusted himself off slowly. "As am I." I looked at him, suddenly feeling edgy. "Ah, where are my manners. My name is Vladimir Sekrove.... And judging by that look on your face, I'm assuming you've heard of me." I couldn't help but looked stunned. I had heard his name in stories, legends, myths. He was the greatest of the great. "You're alone. You need someone who's strong enough to control you until you can do it yourself. Come with me. I'll teach you everything I know, I'll teach you how to control your anger." Despite everything, my thoughts returned to Richard. The guilt was just... eating me up inside.

"..... How do you deal with guilt?...." I asked finally. He seemed surprised by my question. "I don't. I no longer have my humanity." He replied bluntly. "... What do you mean?" He smiled, taking my hand and linking my arm through his. He squeezed it lightly as we began to walk. "One of the upsides to being a vampire is that you can.... 'turn off' your emotions. I 'turned off' mine a very long time ago. You'll learn, don't you worry." He assured me. I watched as Richard was given a proper burial, unsure of what to say and choosing to stay silent. "Do you have any loose ends to tie up here? Leaving with me means you leave everything you've ever known behind. You will not get the option to return." I shook my head. The only thing that I wanted to keep was the ring that Richard had given me, and it was safely tucked away in the small purse attached to my wrist. As we headed north, I took one last look at Arendale. I had spent my entire life there. I had lost people that had meant more to me than anything else there. And now I was leaving for good. I turned away, more than ready to start my new life under Vladimir's guidance.

.: Present :.
In my long life, I mostly avoided people. So to be honest, I can't quite recall how exactly I met Klaus. What I do remember, is that we instantly bonded. Having been an only child and having no family led me to refer to him as my little brother. He was an absolute sweetheart. But he was vulnerable. And that became evident to me when the boy he had loved dearly broke his heart.

"What's wrong, Klaus?" I asked, watching as he wiped the tears from his eyes. He was lying in bed, a blanket pulled tightly around himself. "Andrew." He replied before his voice hiccuped. I settled down on his bed, pulling him over to wrap my arms around him. "What about him, love?" I asked, slowly stroking his hair. "He toyed with my feelings. He said he was just using me..." My hand stilled, jaw setting as I remembered how Marcus had done the same thing. "... He used you..." I repeated, only to have him sniffle and hug onto me tightly. "Why does it hurt so much?" He whimpered softly. "Because you loved him, and you thought he felt the same way. He was more concerned about having someone pay attention to him. He didn't think about your feelings, only himself." I couldn't help but feel angry. Klaus was my brother, blood or not. Someone that I cared deeply about was in pain, and I couldn't stand to see him like that. "I thought he loved me. I thought he cared. I hate feeling like this." He sobbed into my shirt. I was silent, staring off at the wall as I tried to decide what to do. "..... You don't have to feel this way...." I said finally. He looked up at me with a tear-streaked face. "W-what do you mean, Aleera?"

"You know how you always tell me that I seem strong emotionally?.." I felt him nod his head against my shoulder. "It's a quality of yours that I greatly admire." He murmured, hiccuping once again. "It's a trick. Something that Vladimir taught me many years ago.... What you're feeling.. it's part of your humanity. I don't feel the same things that you do because I no longer have mine." He looked at me with confused eyes. "What do you mean?" I smiled down at him, brushing his hair out of his face. "I turned off my humanity a long time ago. By turning it off, you won't care that he hurt you anymore. You'll find that you're able to move on, that you won't worry about things like you do now.... I can't stand seeing you upset.... Heartbreak is something that I never wanted you to experience, but I couldn't protect you from it. But by doing this, I can." We both sat there in silence. He was trying to process what I had just told him, and I was awaiting his decision. I listened intently as it began to rain, getting up to stare out the window at the pitch black clouds.

"..... Do it....."

My attention drifted back to him as he stood up and wiped his face of the tear tracks. "I don't want to feel this way anymore. I don't want him to have the power to make me breakdown just by looking at me." I smiled, silently admiring my little brother. He was a strong boy, but this would make him stronger.

I won't go into details. It was an incredibly painful thing for him to endure, being a human. After it was said and done, I lulled him into a peaceful slumber. As I watched him sleep, my mind went to Vladimir. I would have to tell him what I had done, and he was definitely not going to be happy. I left the room and went downstairs to call him. It was nearly three in the morning, but nonetheless, I dialed his number and held the phone to my ear as it rang.

".. Hello?.." He sounded groggy, as if I had just woken him up.
"I did something you're not going to be happy about."
"..... What?"
"I got rid of Klaus' humanity."
"You did what?!" His voice boomed from behind me, startling me and causing me to spin around and drop the phone. Unfortunately, Vladimir had a nasty little habit of just appearing when he was angry. It took me a moment to regain my composure.

"Aleera, you can't just rid a person of their humanity! It's irresponsible and dangerous, not to mention incredibly stupid! Do I honestly have to watch you to make sure that you avoid doing something as idiotic as this?! You-"

I was not thrilled about being scolded like a child. Even though I knew it was a bad move, I interrupted him. "The boy he loved told him he was using him. He was in pain. I wasn't going to stand idly by while some little boy hurt my little brother!" I hissed back, staring up at him with cold eyes.

Vladimir fell silent. He knew of my past. He knew I'd been hurt. He knew how protective I was when it came to Klaus. His anger seemed to melt away as he sighed softly. ".... Was it in his best interest?" He asked finally. I nodded quietly, forcing myself to relax a bit. "I wouldn't have done it otherwise." I murmured, turning my attention elsewhere. By that point, he was pacing around the sitting room. "You realize you have to watch him closely now, don't you? Without the qualities that make him human, he doesn't feel anything. He has no sense of right or wrong. He won't feel guilt or regret. If he kills someone, he'll take nothing but pleasure from it." I rolled my eyes as he spoke. "I thought you said he wouldn't feel anything." I said sarcastically. He stopped pacing, taking a deep, slow breath. He was incredibly angry, but I could tell it took everything he had to stay calm. "You know what I mean. Without those qualities, he will seek out what he considers to be prey. You said that someone hurt him. Now that his humanity is gone, he won't think twice about killing him if he sees him."

I brushed my hair out of my face as I stared over at him. "Who says that's a bad thing? The boy that hurt him should suffer for what he did. Toying with someones feelings. He needs to be dealt with." Vladimir shook his head, running his fingers through his hair in frustration. "Aleera. If he were to kill someone and then ask you to undo what you did, the guilt would eat at him. He'd be worse off than he was before." He paused, looking me directly in the eyes. ".... Did you turn him?" He asked quietly. I found myself rolling my eyes once more. "Of course I didn't. That's a life that I would never want for him." I murmured, looking down.

"What if he were to ask you to turn him? Not now, but sometime in the future."

His question was one that I had never even thought about before. What if Klaus did ask me to turn him? What would I do? What would I tell him? I was silent for quite some time as I thought about it. ".... That's something that will be dealt with if it comes up. If there was a chance of me losing him in the near future, I wouldn't hesitate to turn him. Now if you don't mind, I would very much like to get some sleep. I just wanted to let you know what I had done before you found out from someone other than me." I stood up straight as he crossed the room to stand in front of me. "... I do appreciate that... Get some sleep. Watch over Klaus, and don't let him out of your sight. Not for the first few days at least. I will want to speak with him soon though, once he adjusts. I will determine whether or not he's a threat." Vladimir turned away, but his words lingered in my head. "..... What will happen to him if you consider him a threat?...." Silence. ".... For his sake and yours, I hope it doesn't come to that. Goodnight Aleera, my dear." And with that, he was gone, leaving my question unanswered.

It took me a few moments, but I finally forced myself upstairs and to Klaus' room. He was still sound asleep in bed. I walked over and settled down beside him, taking a deep breath as I wrapped my arms around him. I held him close, pressing my forehead to his shoulder lightly. "We may not be of the same bloodline, but you're still my brother and I will protect you for all eternity." I murmured softly as I closed my eyes.
