To Love a Monster

He is a dark abyss—it should not be so tempting to fall in. *** To be a Lock is to be a conductor between ordinary and abnormal, between reason and insanity. It is to be a keyhole that lets one peek into the Great Beyond, and a part of the door that opens the world. It is to be sought, and hunted, and seduced by all who crave power. The magic is unnatural to this world, yet humans still fly towards arcane knowledge like moths towards a flame. Creatures of nightmares prowl just beyond the veil that protects the fragile minds of mortals, taking their pick of helpless prey. Maya Alvarez has no reasons to think she’s different from other people. No reasons, except for a single incident in her past. All she wants is to write her books and one day, maybe, become famous. Until her best friend goes missing, and Maya has no choice but to admit—she’s not insane. The world is. The pair of eyes darker than a starless night falls on Maya, and shadows surround her to never let go.

The White Castle

**Present day**

The castle Fehérvár—"the White Castle" in Hungarian—looks like something out of a movie about Medieval Europe. It isn't just another old ruin, preserved only for tourists—it doesn't look aged at all.

Its square walls are limed white, which no modern castle would be—not after all those years. The keep's tower pokes out from behind the walls, and tall turrets peer at the approaching travelers with the narrow eyes of their embrasures.

The drawbridge is down, but no one goes in or out of the gates. Yet, the castle with the name I can't properly pronounce still stays the most lively part of the scenery. The surroundings are much more dreary.

The moat around the castle has dried out long ago, and the towns that grew to life around this area are abandoned by their inhabitants. The hill the castle stands on is rocky and bleak, and so are the many other hills that span on the horizon.
