In a quiet, poor town in Clieve City, there lived a poor baker with his daughter whim the town cherished. On the oposite land , there was a wealthy merchant who was responsible for the town's wealth. the wealthy merchant whom theyall called Feimhell was only seen occassionally in the wee morning hours where he would come to the market sing in a loud beautiful voice but no one dared to cme oout for they feared him out of his appearance, His white skin with fiery red shoulder length hair, green eyes and a bloodstricken lips with two 4 black canines i the midst of the other milk white teeth. Questions were, was he a vampire, a forest animal, a demon or some unfortunate being of nature.

the bakers daughter , Blaire would eagerly sit at the bakeshops window just to wait for Feimhell to strike the whole town with his beautiful voice. How she wanted soo much to peep and take a glimpse of the supposed Feimhell and surrender the rumor's to be true but it was forbidden. A fer years went by and the beautiful Blaire was now a 16 year old dame who turned heads in the town by her dress making as she delivered her father's pastries to customer. She developed a strong vocal code that it was a pleasure to hear her sing. the worrying part was that she had mastered Feimhell's songs and it was odd.

As usual when Feimhell visoted the city and bega to sing, Blaire would join him and they would sing their hearts out and everyone would be fear stricken even more knowing that doom was calling them. This went on for a while and Blaire curiosity got the better of her when one day she opened her day wide to see for herself the creature Heimfell himself. their eyes locked and a gusting wind passed through them as if declaring want and desire. ofcourse the rumours were true but Blaire was not shaken, it seemed she had discovered a new world in her that called out to her. Heimfell held out his hand urging her to go with him and she surprisingly agreed.

It was now a routine that every morning they would sing together, leave with him and Blaire would return after a couple of hours and went on her day. not after a long time, everyone started noticing that Blaire's belly was now big and round. What a misforune to dawn was allwhat the people could say. the next morning, after singing like they would always do, Heimfell demanded to see Blaire's father who was grief stricken inside the shop of how life treated him unfairly. Upon the requestad out of fear to be killed by the creature Heimfell, he came out hoping his life wouuld be spared. Heimfell demanded that the father sould make all the weddig ceremenony in just 2 days and they left and everyone was to attend. The wedding was a picture of people smiling out of fear not to anger the creature, it was not the usual weddings known.

A fortnight later, baby cries awoke everyone in the night for Blaire had given birth to a daughter and everyone wanted to know what the child would look like. the following morning, there was no singing like other days. it seems Blaire and her child had mysteriously vanished with no traces of them. since then nothing was heard of them yet the father would receive daily supplies and gifts on his door with a letter which he kept close to heart. their voices would be heard in the wind but not to be seen.
