                    1. Trevor could only nod. The only thing he wanted was to know what he had turned into.

                                1. "Something happened to me. Something terrible." Trevor took out an open book from a nearby desk, and showed the illustration of a vampire to the old man. "Like this."

                                                                        Comment Actions

                                                                                      Comment Actions

                                                                                                    Comment Actions

They were negotiating the betrothal for years, but Daena was afraid of telling Trevor because of what happened to him.

But the idea has been on her head for ages, and now that Trevor is old enough to be wed, her plan is getting put on action.

We could do that. It just came back to me and I got a few ideas. We put that on an ASOIAF sort of setting.)

Well, it's one about a king who is madly in love with one of his wife's ladies, and after his wife dies in childbirth with a stillborn, he has to go through a lot of trouble to marry her.
