Chapter 1

The Village of the Sun, Erana

In a time where Kings ruled the land, existed a place closest to the sky. These mountains soared through the clouds and raindrops became their seas. On the day, the village was called Erana, for it was closer to the rays of the sun.

And on the night, the village was called the Goblet of the Night Hallows, where every part of the village was bathed in moonlight, hence the awakening of the creatures in the dark.

These creatures crept slowly into the darkness... watching, looking, grinning cunningly into the villager's frail bodies. In each of their homes, a creature watched from their windows.

This was an unusual time.

Kings were treated less than Counts.

The Kings were crowned as mortals. They lead, they judge, they make the decisions.

The Counts were awakened as immortals. They watch. They devour. They live for entertainment. And one can destroy a nation.

The King of Chesterfawn was the ruler of the continent. He conquered cities and his opponent with the hilt of his mighty sword, forged by the best of blacksmiths. He was young and unstoppable.

The people thought he feared nothing.

But there was something... no someone that he felt intimidated of. Somebody unknown. Somebody who only lurks in the middle of the night, or so they thought.

The faceless Count of Erana.

The King of Chesterfawn had not once seen this beast. Though the palace had received reports of a strange creature with blue eyes lingering in the dark, smiling against the darkness when they slept.

After an investigation, the wardens assigned have come back with a piece of twisted information.

Above the mountain of Erana, which divided the poor village from the cities, they caught a glimpse of a crumbled castle from a far distance. But no matter which path they took, they could never reach the castle.

Thus, they gave the creature the name Count of Erana. A creature thought to be immortal like the rest of the Counts of the continent. The King of Chesterfawn did not believe the existence of the Count. Until one day, he managed to hold a ball in the palace.

He invited the Counts, Countesses, Nobles, and even the Royalties of the other lands.

The young king hoped to see the Count that he had been fearing. To speak. To confide. But no matter where he looked, he only saw creatures with crimson eyes and none with blue.

Crimson eyes that bleed when seeing the sunlight, but could see even the slightest pixel of the moonlight. These were the identities of the Counts. Creatures that are easily vanquished like dust upon the Sun’s deathly rays. Most of them were vampires and ghouls. A few were recognized as werewolves and moon griffins. Truly the most sinister of the inhabitants of Earth. 

Disgraced by the creature's absence, the young king canceled the ball. He was disappointed that the rumored Count of Erana did not dare make its presence known.

As the guests prepared to leave, they heard faint footsteps that resembled glass, making its way to the middle of the ballroom. The chattering eased and a creature emerged from the entrance. Nobody was able to speak a single thing. 

Their eyes fixated on the creature. A Night Hallow. To the king's bewilderment, the creature knelt down before him. The invited gasped as they saw how incredibly striking he looked. And even if a mask covered his mysterious face, the king could feel the smirk on his lips. The bloodlust. The hunger for entertainment.

The creature then spoke with its rich, dark, and masculine voice. A voice which charmed even the married queens invited to the ball. A voice so intriguing that no one could take their eyes off the male.

"I suppose you are 'him'. The rumored Count of the Sun Village." spoke the young king, who looked exactly the same as the creature's physique.

A creature in the shape of a man. And it would seem that he had a perfect shapeshifting ability- Mimic.

The other counts and countesses whispered to each other.  They have never heard of a Count that lived closest to the Sun, considering the Sun was their enemy.

The creature's grin spread from ear to ear. "Indeed I am the rumored Count," he replied.

The young king placed his palms on the hilt of his sword and bellowed over him. "I had been enduring to meet you, Count."

"You flatter me too much, My Lord."

"The ball is over. I supposed you have been watching over the darkness as the celebration commenced, weren't you?"

"Indeed, I was."

The audience could only look at the creature with silence.

"Then what are you here for, Count?"

The male lowered his mask, only to reveal his bright, blue eyes. It retracted like a cat's as he stared with amusement over the agitated royalty. His sharp look cunningly challenges the young king.

"I'd like to speak with you in private, if that is possible."

"Resume the ball." the King declared.

Confused, the guests looked away and brushed off the fact of his arrival. They paid no attention and assumed that the man was merely the King’s acquaintance. The guests then drowned on to the sound of the soft melody, and the couples ran into the dancefloor, holding themselves while the mysterious Count slowly walked into the staircase to meet with the King.

The King looked at him warily. The count smiled pleasantly and bowed at him. “Greetings.”

"Take off your mask."

"I cannot, My Lord."

"Then I will not allow you to speak with me."

"I am already speaking with you, My Lord."

The King's brows furrowed deeper. "What is it that you want?"

The Count's eyes lowered into the ballroom. He leaned his chest against the rails and looked into the sea of nobles and royalties.

In a few moments, the King noticed that his eyes were no longer looking elsewhere. It was fixated on the ballroom. The King peered over to find what caught his attention.

Down on the dancefloor, stood a lost girl with bright orange hair, her eyes resembling the stars as she looked into the chandeliers with delight. She was not dancing, nor with a partner. She wore a simple, beige dress and her hair was adorned with little chrysanthemums. She was unlike any of the people on the dance floor. She was calm, innocent, and curious, just standing on the side. And watching the waterfall of chandeliers was enough for her.

The King glanced at the creature. And he spoke. Leaving the king speechless as he finished his request.

"I want you to sell that woman to me."

Loved the story! The grammatical errors were annoying - use of pronouns, prepositions and tenses threw me off a bit towards the second half of the book. Error in name ie. Celeste = Asty and Leopold = Chaol? Proof reading is a must if you will be charging.

Asthenosthene
"Asthenosthene!"A young girl opened her eyes as the voices of her name grew louder. She slowly listened to the moans of cows and rubbed her tired eyes from the sunlight peeking from her window. Slowly getting up, she stretched her limbs sloppily. "Asthenosthene! Wake up!"The young girl gets up, and sighed. "I am awake now, Mother.""Asthenosthene!""I'm awake!" she yelled back and chuckled. "I am coming down now!""Alright, hurry up darling!"The young woman called Asthenosthene stands up and made her way down to the first floor of their cabin. The floor creaked as her small feet make contact with the wooden floorboards."Mother?"A beautiful woman with brown hair looked turned around to Asty's direction and chuckled. "There you are.""I'm sorry, I slept late last night." Asty apologized.

Lady Rosellia, The Noble
After hearing about her mistress' critical condition, Asty could not contain the uneasiness within herself. A few days ago, she and Lady Rosellia were chatting about the village boys and their favorite quotes. Heart heavy, Asty made her way to Lady Rosellia's mansion. She would through the village's center, and as soon as she stepped within the vicinity, all of the villagers' eyes were fixated on hers. At first, she tried to ignore their judgmental expressions, and no matter how she tried, she could not stop overhearing their conversations about her. She continued to reject their critiques, her eyes straightforwardly looking forward as she averted her gaze from the other women in the proximity.Asty did not want to hear their childish rumors."Look! It's the woodcutter's daughter!""She has bright orange hair, yet everyone in the village has dark hair.""Is she a countess?""A

Preparation
Asty's response brought a smile to the noble's face. She then remembers the moments of her life. Her family, her dead child, the laughter of the villagers and how she used to collect her favorite flowers. Those memories, rushed into her minds giving her a peace of racing tranquility. Her peaceful expression became the visage of her final moments. She closed her eyes gently and slept forever.Her hands became lifeless. Asty slowly places it down and gets up, wiping the tears away from her face and pretended a brave expression. She looks over to the bedroom's door as the maid entered and hands her over a golden envelope with the stamp of the King's insignia.It was an invitation to the Palace's Ball."Asty," Noelle called.Asty smiled, ignoring Noelle's calling. "I will tell you every wonderful thing that I will see in the Palace, Lady Rosellia."Noelle heaved a sigh as the maids escorted Asty away fr

Ribbons and Laces
Mrs. Pickinns hurriedly grabbed a bundle of keys from her wooden office desk, while the two subjects watched her with anxiety in their eyes."Mrs. Pickinns?" Asty gently called out. "Do you want us to help you find the right key-""Hush, child!" one by one, she tries on the different shaped keys on the warehouse doorknob. It was where she had promised that the unfinished samples of outfits were stored.Asty looked down and reached for the envelope. She examined the smooth texture of the paper and confusion was evident in her bright, orange eyes.Her fingers could feel the paper from the inside. But she was scared to open the envelope. She didn't want Lady Rosellia to be upset about her seeing the contents of what she had in store for the Duke.But at the same time, Asty was doubtful whether Lady Rosellia really placed a message inside or not. It would be a disappointment if the Duke opened it and th

The Carriage
It was 5:00 in the afternoon. The sun started to set in the horizons but Asthenosthene and Noelle still did not return to their homes. Instead, they were wearing fancy suits and dresses to attend the King's Ball.Asty had her eyes closed as Mrs. Pickinns arranged her bright, persimmon-colored hair. She neatly placed a few stands of hair in front of her left shoulder. She then carefully reached for the basket. A basket that contained little, fully-bloomed chrysanthemums.She conscientiously tucked the little flowers into her hair.When she was finished, Mrs. Pickinns asked Asthenosthene to open her eyes."There. There, look at yourself."Asthenosthene opened her eyes and found her reflection in a clear mirror. She was wearing a beige, laced dress with ribbons accompanying her neck and arms. The dress went all the way down to her legs.And for the very first time, she wore polished sa

Towards the Palace
 "Both of you look nervous." Asty and Noelle smiled at Mrs. Pickinns. "Mrs. Pickinns, I feel like I'm gonna throw up," Noelle confessed. "I don't feel so good." Mrs. Pickinns rolled her eyes. "Noelle, for the love of God, grow up. You are a grown man and yet the thought of a ball scares you." Noelle waved his hands in the air. "But Mrs. Pickinns, I have never been to a Ball!" "It's just music and dancing. Once Asthenosthene delivers the envelope to the Duke, we can leave." Asty's eyes were focused outside of the carriage. Her eyes fixated on the nearby trees that darkened their trail. Her lips were pursed in a straight line as she recalled what her mother had told her when she left her. "Asthenosthene, you must return no matter what." The thought lingered on her mind. Asty's mother ha

The Palace of Chesterfawn
 Noelle, Asty, and Mrs. Pickinns descended from their carriage after arriving at the Palace of Chesterfawn. With glimmering eyes, Noelle and Asty obsequiously stared at the Nobles which displayed beautiful and shimmering regalias. Dresses that are handwoven with sequins and beads which glowed in assonance of the lights. Noelle and Asty stared as the Nobles ascend the beautiful golden glass staircase that led to Palace's gates. "Asthenos, Noelle," Mrs. Pickinns proposed. "Let us go inside." Noelle and Asthenosthene immediately followed Mrs. Pickinns on to the staircase, leaving the navigator behind. Asty then glanced back and smiled at him, while waving at him goodbye. The navigator's eyes widened after her gesture. He then raised his hand and waved back at her, while smiling sweetly as they fade from his view. Asty returned her gaze to the view in front of her. There

The Count's Perspective
BEFORE THE BALL, WOODS OF ERANA From the far distance, just above the humongous sea of trees stood three silhouettes engulfed by darkness. Even as the full moon shone from beyond, they can never be fully seen. It was like, somehow, the light never truly liked them, as it never dared reach to illuminate their skin. But somehow only their eyes could be distinguished from the far sight. As the palace sentries spot them from afar, they fled with their lamps and soiled their pants, leaving their spears falling onto the hard ground. Frightened as they recognized their silhouettes, they did not dare waste a second and immediately bailed. They knew that interacting with them was up to no good.  "They really fear us." a female voice croaked. "Is the Palace really holding a Ball?" another voice chimed in, it was more of a hoarser and chilling tone. "I heard every Count and Countesses

The Envelope
GARDEN"The Duke of Illum is blind and deaf."The mysterious man's voice resonated in Asty's head for a few seconds. While clutching the creased envelope, she remained standing still before him, perplexed and speechless.What was she here for all this time?The male with the blue eyes, took the envelope gently from her stiffened hands and gave her a pleasant smile."I will give this envelope to the King, instead. There could be something inside." he offered to her. He places his huge gloved hands above her lowered head and caressed her hair gently.The towering male lowered his gaze at the fear-stricken woman. She was incredibly young, and her looks truly, was a mystery.But no matter which unknown method he used, it would always result in one answer. The girl is human and none of her blood hinted the slightest of a Night Hallow.The girl
