oratio nocturna

A story of an alpha vampire and a nerdy library as they discover love, and the dangers that come with it.

"Il y a bien longtemps, il n'y avait rien... Que les ténèbres et le néant. Arnon décida de créer la lumière pour créer la vie et plus principalement l'homme comme être conscient sous cette lumière. Mais Gridlock, le dieu des ténèbres et du néant se réveilla du fait de cette lumière et jaloux voulut créer aussi ses propres enfants dans le monde du néant et de la nuit, mais petit à petit la lumière gagnait l'univers et les créatures de Gridlock disparaissaient détruites par la lumière. Gridlock voulut par la ruse demander a Arnon d'enlever certaines étoiles, planètes, astres afin que ces enfants , qui avaient pris forme humaine pour séduire le Dieu, puissent vivre en paix et en harmonie avec la progéniture d'Arnon. Arnon trop sage et bon accepta sa demande et la terre fut donc privée de toute lumière proche et les premiers hommes apparurent dans le néant infini sans rien voir et devenant fou puis surtout devenant des proies des enfants de Gridlock. Arnon n'avait pas le temps de recréer les astres apportant la lumière a tant avant que les hommes primitifs disparaissent donc il a offert une étincelle de lumière : le feu. Par le feu, les premiers hommes purent se défendre contre les créatures de la nuit en s'en servant comme armes et moyens de créer des frontières près de leurs logis, mais petit à petit le feu se fit plus rare du fait d'un usage trop excessif et des aléas du temps et les créatures de Gridlock revinrent. Gridlock rendit par la peur et la violence le cœur de l'homme mauvais, il y eut des guerres pour cette ressource et l'homme brûla le monde et sacrifia la nature pour tuer à tout prix tous les enfants de ce mauvais dieu. Ces brasiers mondiaux éradiquèrent pratiquement les deux camps. Arnon a, pendant ce temps, réussi à créer un pouvoir de lumière dans un astre : le soleil pour éclairer ce monde. Face à une défaite imminente, Gridlock, malin, décide de négocier en tournant l'esprit de certains humains qui avaient perdu des proches pris par les forces des ténèbres. Il leur promit que leurs proches damnés ne seraient pas détruits entièrement et pourraient continuer à vivre auprès d'eux même être guérie s'ils pouvaient encore vivre loin de la lumière dans un temps sans l'astre d'Arnon appelé Nuit. Arnon, entraîné par les plaintes des hommes, décida de créer un cycle nommé jour et nuit pour les deux camps, mais encore une fois, il fut trompé par Gridlock, car la durée de ces cycles ne fut jamais actée. Des jours durèrent des semaines et des nuits des mois. Durant les périodes de lumière, les hommes pouvaient prospérer et vivre, mais quand l'era nocturna ou la nuit de Gridlock arrivait, il devait se barricader et survivre face aux monstres de la nuit, enfant de ce dieu terrible. Ainsi, il en est et ainsi, il en sera quand reviendra sur ce monde l'era Nocturna."

Jangan ganggu aku, aku hanya ingin terbebas dari kutukan ini. Aku datang ke bumi hanya untuk mencari manusia setengah penyihir yang mau menikahiku, dengan begitu, segala kutukan sialan itu akan hilang" –Roxena Laphonsa. * "Korban dan tersangka bukanlah hal yang mudah untuk dibedakan, karena sebenarnya sangat tipis perbedaan dari keduanya.

Akulah penyihir terjenius yang akan mengubah status tersangka menjadi korban. Menunjukkan kepada orang bodoh itu, siapa tersangka sebenarnya." -Junius Xander.

Stella Sterling, born into wealth, had always followed the rules. Jaded by the hypocrisy of high society, she suddenly had a whim one day to have an ordinary romance. Thus, a fabricated rumor that Stella Sterling had spent a fortune to hire a Matchmaker from a dating site to find her a partner quickly spread through her circles. Those on good terms with her teased and watched the fun. Those on bad terms with her waited to see her become a joke. Later, an employee from the dating website revealed, "The company was acquired with an investment from a Vicenzan tycoon, and the profile of a certain female member with the surname Sterling was hidden overnight." The public speculated wildly about the identities of the Vicenzan tycoon and the female member with the surname Sterling. - Later on, a candid street photo that was accidentally captured went viral. In the dense night of The Spire on Vesper Island— Beside a Benz, a handsome, composed, and dignified man lifted a striking beauty in a red dress with one arm, pressing her against the car door and lowering his head for a deep kiss. In the faint light and shadow, the woman's flowing hair was swept by the wind, wrapping around the man's finger, which wore a pinky ring. Like a footnote to a romance, and even more like a vintage film frame etched into the axis of time. Someone immediately dug up the man's identity based on clues from the photo. The eldest son of Vicenza's Rhodes Family—low-profile and inscrutable, cold and untamable, and also the powerful contemporary authority of The Vesper Circle. And the alluring, glamorous belle by his side was none other than Stella Sterling. When the street photo spread to the mainland, everyone excitedly exclaimed: "The case is solved, the case is solved—"
