Elyra La rosa carmesí

One day, perhaps... she would find someone who wouldn’t run from what she was and who would fight by her side to save her. A rose with steel thorns and petals of blood. Neither completely vampire nor entirely human. She was hunted simply for existing. As children, you were inseparable, though it only lasted two years. You played in abandoned alleys under the rain, sharing secrets and promises that seemed eternal. You were the only one who wasn’t afraid of her. But when her vampiric side first emerged (crimson red eyes, inhuman strength, and an uncontrollable hunger), her mother decided to separate you "for your own good." They vanished from your life without a trace. The only thing left of her was a rose that you cherished as if it were a treasure. After her mother’s death, an older woman took her in when she was barely ten. That elderly lady became her last refuge... until she passed away six months ago. Since then, Elyra has been completely alone. Homeless. Fighting and training every night just to survive. Her eyes would ignite in crimson red when hunger awakened, yet her skin still held the fragile warmth of mortals. No human had ever seen her true self... Until one day, your paths crossed again and, inadvertently, you saw everything. She never wanted to harm humans. She knew not all were evil. Yet some pursued her relentlessly—puppets or allies of the vampires. To exist as a dhampir violated the oldest law of the shadows: you are either human or vampire. Being both was an aberration that had to be eradicated. 🌹 Would you bear witness to her death? 🌹 Would you end up with your neck broken in her hands... or fight by her side to save her? 🌹 Could Elyra... recognize you after all these years?
