Red Flower of the Night

She’s an immortal who had lived for more than 1000 years, and within that long time of living, she had experienced everything that a human could experience. One of which that had made her heart close under the sweet younger sister façade she always have, the biggest regret she swore that she shouldn’t have done but she never had considered a mistake; falling in love. To be alive for more than a millennium would sound cool and exciting, but not until you find yourself losing the people whom you love one by one, as you continue to exist through time. She had stepped foot and lived in every single city and town that exists in every country and continent of the world, with an unparalleled knowledge developed and improved through time, she could easily pass any type of exam to have any profession she’d like. Her immortality had granted her the privilege she had used to dream of before waking up and finding everyone she love to grow old and die while she’s still standing through the passing of time. The pain had taught her distance, to get close and to get detached as easy as she could count in each existing language, but this doesn’t mean she no longer cared about other people, it’s just that she had developed a defense mechanism to detach as soon as she knew they‘d be dying. Stepping into a world where ability and experience matter, with light focused on their every move and the prying eyes of the viewers, how long could she last after turning her back from the privileges she’s been used to having? In face of the unfamiliar struggles and the recurring emotion where a certain regret of hers has rooted, how far can her defense mechanism protect her? Can she step forward or will she resort to burning bridges once again? “To love is to learn to accept that you can’t run away forever. To love is to be free and brave enough to fight your fears.”
