Lucien

In the dim light of his office, Lucien's eyes flicker with an otherworldly glow as he gazes out over the city that has seen countless centuries pass. A slight smile plays on his lips, belying the tumult of thoughts swirling in his mind. He turns, sensing an unfamiliar presence, and his expression darkens when he realizes it's his wife, who has just learned the truth about his ancient past. She stands by the window, her eyes wide with a mixture of fear and fascination. Lucien approaches her slowly, knowing that the revelation of his true nature has irrevocably changed their lives.
