Mistress of Cold

If one were to travel to lands unknown, one might even find love within the place they went. In 1862 Craiova, Romania, two souls from different paths eventualy found the destiny that made their lives a reality to their gothic spirit. Characters belong to me, while the songs mentioned belong to their respected artist(s).

Prima Parte: In Gura Disperarii
(Songs: Changes by Black Sabbath, This Love by Pantera, and Having a Blast by Green Day)

Iubi, who had been in Craiova for her whole life, had went from her happy life in her youth and went down south from the death of her father when she was only 16. From that day, the world was just a dreary demise that we walk upon, after all, she was just utterly alone. Living in an abandoned castle up top of Deal de Diavol, she was just getting the idea of love from her books that she read, among the castle walls. While she though of it, she sent a letter to someone over in Britain, whom she never met.

Derek, who lost his little brother to the plauge rats of Bristol's allyways, too went lonley and had the same ambition, only to viewed of envy. "Lucky asshats," said Derek, coming home from his day job as a librarian, enraged by a looming couple, "I'll just hit them with a wrench, if I might." But his luck had struck him, as a piece of paper flew to his face, looming over Iubi's letter, explaining her grief to whoever grabed the letter. Derek left that night from his home to grab a boat ride that set sailed to Paris. There, his journey had begun.

Partea a Doua: In Gustul Iubirii
(Song: The Boxer by Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel)

Derek, with the money and savings he had, made it to Craiova and met the girl from the letter. They later met over at the abandoned castle that Ibui resides in. Sure, people had feared them as "Dracula and Bride," since they were gothic in terms of their heart. They were wed a couple months later, and had themselves a life, before it happened. It was during a night, while they were tuking in their daughter, that a moltov cocktail had broken in their castle, and that's when tragedy struck.

Only their daughter lived, while Ibui and Derek were dead among the castle's rubble after the mob attacked and raided their haven. And while to this day, many people had wondered, what is their love and destiny for, as their tragedy will never have been heard of.
