If Your Heart is A House, I Am Home

Vampire King Apollyon

Apollyon couldn't believe his eyes as they passed over the small river bridge on their way to the Lilac Manor's entrance.

He blinked and squinted at the vision from afar, clutching his chest like it was on fire.

Apollyon mused as he felt chills running down his spine,  'Was this a dream?' 

Earlier, he had strolled side-by-side with Prince Aspen in companionable silence as the midnight sky gradually shifted into hues of orange and yellow, bathing their exhausted forms in the sunrise.

As he glanced up into the heavens, he saw white bleeding heart doves flying.

Silver pixies, which appeared like nature spirits from the stream, hovered above their heads as if making sure that Prince Aspen and Apollyon would arrive at the Lilac Manor safe and sound.
