The sun began to set over the mountain's many peaks as the fading light poured into the few of old fashioned glass windows and near a weathered but stable stone balcony.

Wind softly blew against the glass as a gentle gleam of blue ethereal like magic shined over the curved handles of the glass balcony windowed doors opening up to let the breeze throughout a dark room.

Soon a ebony iron chandelier enlighten the room with candles glow and the red crystals decorating the chandelier shimmered like the purest ruby jewels.

A figure slept against a king sized bed, their body entrapped in blacken silk sheets amongst a deep red blanket at the bottom of the beds chaise lounge bench.

The figure slowly sat up as the candle light shined onto the figures loose blackened as starless night hair against their pale as snow skin. A hand lifted up from the bed and moved some of the black silk off their trapped limbs to be free to bring a red satin robe onto their body.

The figure got out of their bed and walked towards a lone barren wall before a few bricks within cracked and wailed to reveal a ancient luxury that only old world royalty could ever achieve. A paradise of a bath carved within the very stone, marble columns supported a dome overhead roof of the bath depicting old century castles, bats in flight through the night sky amongst the full moon, and trimmed gold moldings.

The figure snapped their fingers as the water to the stone bath began bubbling with heat looking like a star with eight points came alive on the surface. The three candles by the ledge enlighten with a orange hued flame while removing their robe from their body then slowly stepped into the hot water and the middle of the stone bath.

The figure now revealed to be a young man started washing his body and hair slowly with what looked like freshly spilled blood from a silver pitcher decorated with scenes of bats in flight. After a few moments the man dipped his body deep under the water to clean off the body wash of red apples, pomegranates and a blend of herbs.

The young man opened up his eyes as the candles flame extinguished from the room to show glowing sapphires were his eyes amongst the darkness.

"Damn... May as well let the moonlight in."

A seductive and deep voice spoke up from the young man as he moved his hand aside as the wall facing the candles creaked, groaned and slowly peeled back to reveal a beautiful mosaic of French stain glass in double windows. A array of colors shined into the room from the moonlight that arose from beyond the mountains.

"Much better now..."

He said as he climbed out of the bath and pulled his robe back onto his body before walking back into his bedroom to look at the calendar year of 2011 on his next birthday, his one hundred and twenty first birthday when he could finally leave his sheltered home behind to explore the world outside his home and overprotective father.

Elsewhere Near The Forest Edge

"Johnny, Are you sure this is a good idea? That man in the inn was sobbing when he told us about this forest."

A soft yet sweet voice of a young woman filled the slowly chilling nighttime air as the wind blew through her h/c hair.

"Aw, come on baby sis! That's the awesome part of the journey called life!"

A curly red haired young man spoke up excitedly as he hugged his baby sister close. Making her laugh a bit til she gagged at a foul smell coming from her big brother's backpack.

"Johnny, when was the last time you washed your clothes?"

The young woman questioned only for her brother to side hug her now and point further into the forest

"N/n, your only going to be eighteen once so you got to live it up. Take risks, do something that you would normally never do."

He said while making his baby sister sigh softly and nod towards him as both of the siblings began walking into the forest and the fog.
