The Crimson Hidden
“A long life is truly beautiful”
“But loss is a greater feeling than love”
The Crimson Hidden was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Her skin was like silk, her hair a cascade of black curls. She was older than time itself, and yet she moved with the grace of a young girl. We met in a garden, on a clear autumn day. It was love at first sight.
I couldn't believe it when she told me her name. The Crimson Hidden: one who is hidden from the world, concealed in shadows. I wanted to protect her, to keep her safe from harm. But she was too powerful for me to protect.
We were married in a grand ceremony, and I thought our happiness would last forever. But then came the day that she disappeared from my life forever. I never saw her again, though I searched for her everywhere.
Years passed, and I eventually forgot about The Crimson Hidden until one day I received a letter from her. She had been watching me all this time, and she still loved me deeply. In the letter she said goodbye, and that she would always love me no matter what happened next.
