OCC - this thread is closed at this time, only for wolfie69 and Silverlily. It is a continuation of sorts from a very old thread called Monster Bash. Due to the fact neither of us has much time, resulting in a very slow thread, we thought we'd keep it between ourselves for now. Thank you.

How long has it been? The eons whisper and buzz about her dreams, fleeting, faint, never more than the shadows of half-memories. Still, in the tempest, a recurring theme threads its way, strong and steady. Golden eyes, rough yet silky fur, a haunting howl; it is Varia. He is there as he has always been.
Elizabeta sat up with a start, clutching the thin sheet to her shaking body. The mirror in the corner showed a pale face and troubled, dark eyes. Only the occasional flicker of the candle’s flame revealed the shocking blue they truly were. A hand absently brushed back thick hair, blacker than the depths of hell. The figure in the mirror smiled ruefully, as if to say how appropriate, the darkness. Moments passed as Elizabeta examined this alter ego, this shade that was allowed vulnerability.
A soft noise shattered the introspection, the soft click of a nail on stone. Somewhere deep in the remains of the castle, Varia was prowling in wolf form. Elizabeta let her consciousness flow outward, seeking the werewolf. Down ruinous stairwells, through decaying halls, she found him walking his usual perimeter. Despite the obvious inoccupancy of the castle, occasionally someone from the village felt compelled to be certain the horror was gone. The fright of a snarling wolf usually prevented anyone from noticing how much larger and unusually aware this one was. She smiled, faithful Varia, loyal in spite of his nearly tangible pain.
Perhaps that was what attracted her, a torment to match her own. They were both so alone in the world, could it be that is why there was solace to be found in his embrace? Elizabeta chided herself for thinking such things, what end did they serve? She was who she was and Varia was just that, Varia. After that horrible night all those years ago, that was enough. The blood that filled the halls had faded and the screams were mere echoes and life, undead as it was, must go on. Pulling a sheer robe over herself, Elizabeta silently called to Varia.
