My mistress of the sacred moon, by the time you receive this
letter, I will have long since gone… It pains me to leave ye thus but was best
for us both that I depart. Think not
bitterly of me, for even your father knows why it is that I must depart.
My enemies are growing bolder and ever more powerful as I
hunt and slay their kind. The vampiress,
Alina Orlov, whom I battled just last eve was one of the most dangerous yet,
hailing from an ancient lineage…and she damn near killed you, just to get to
me. I seethe with rage which burns
inside of my breast like a hell-beast which seeks vengeful release at just the
mere thought…
I did not leave because I did not love you- nay, think not
of me such as that, for I love you more than any man has loved a woman since the
dawn of time- the hours I have spent in your arms has made the eternal solitude
of my existence worth living. The music of your heart beating is richer to me,
my dear, than any masterpiece written under the heavens above- the warmth of
your presence gave my life hope, purpose, and allowed this broken soul to see
what is good in the world. To say that I love you, alone, would diminish the
rich vastness for which I yearn to be at your side, for not even the wisest
scholars, poets, bards, or scribes have words to express the love I bear for you.
My soul had found peace, and my enemies shattered that peace
by assailing you to get to me. There is but one more reason that I must go- a
reason concerning my heritage which shall be explained by your father. While it pierces my heart more profoundly
than any blade ever could, I must keep you safe at any cost, but know this my
Beautiful Maiden of the Silver Moon- my heart and soul shall never be complete
without you, thus I will search all the ages to come until I find you again. Perhaps, when that day comes, we will see
forever and I can rest in your arms, listening to the enchanting melody of your
heart beating once more. Until then my love… please do find your peace and be
not dismayed by my passing. I am forever
broken without you…
Sincerely yours-
Gabriel Steele
