“Dreams are not whole without nightmares.
And shadow cannot exist without light.
Together we are one…
Together we are an inseparable dream.”

‘From the beginning of our history I was a light guiding people through their dreams. Once I was a shelter for a child who dreamed of a storm. Another time I was a sweet dream of love. People called me eternally changeable, although my name among the gods is Yara. I am the dream. I am the light in the shadow. For centuries I drifted alone through dreams. This loneliness hurt me. I had no one who understood me, there was no one who could fulfill my dreams. Until one twilight I heard his voice. He didn’t have a name then, although my heart knew. Nox… I couldn’t stop thinking about him, until I finally decided to find him. That evening when I felt his fire for the first time in that black, stone coffin, I knew he was my destiny. When he called me his beloved light. I knew I would do anything to make him by my side. That’s how I created him, Nox… Or rather his new body. My hands worked the dark porcelain with desire. I slowly combed his white hair. When I put my heart in his chest. My heart sped up as I dressed the doll in his black robe with purple accessories. I had no idea if it was because of nerves or the anticipation of when he would come to me. The wait seemed eternal, until I finally saw the fingers of his porcelain hand twitch. My heart sped up as a purple flame ignited in his eyes and looked into the very center of my soul. My body trembled as his cool, porcelain hands embraced my waist. Our lips slowly met in a kiss.
A kiss that was the beginning of everything.

Although no one knows who Nox really is… Not even he himself…
No one but me…’

‘Silence… I have always been silent. At least if what I remembered was true. I have no idea who I really am. I don’t know where I came from. I couldn’t even remember my name. Heck I didn’t even remember I ever had one. Until she gave me one. Nox… I remember the night I woke up for the first time. That’s when I saw her. My light. My beloved Yara. Her skin was white as snow and her long, silver hair waved in the wind. Her goat ears and horns gave her something wild. And from under her long, white dress, a silver tail stuck out, ending with a white down. And her eyes, her amber eyes were like mirrors to another world. I saw my reflection in them. My body was made of delicate porcelain, I saw the cuts on my hands where my limbs should bend. But thanks to her, I felt like a living being. I remember her first look at me. I remember every curve of her waist when my hands embraced her for the first time. Our faces slowly got closer to each other. I felt her breath on my cheek, and how her warm lips connected with mine in a kiss. It was this kiss that allowed Vire’more, the city of dreaming, to blossom.

‘I remember our first dance among the nascent streets of the city. With each turn I made in Vire’more, gardens of white lilies blossomed. Their petals gleamed in the moonlight. With each step Nox took, new towers of black stone were created, absorbing the light and casting shadows over the entire city. We danced for hours, oblivious to time. A delicate mist of dreams hovered around us. Our bodies joined in an embrace, as if our souls never wanted to be separated. The longer we danced, the more beautiful our city became. From his shadow, mosaic streets were created, from my laughter, lamps were created, and from our light and shadow, bridges woven from mists came to exist. When the depths of night finally came, we both fell into an embrace on the snow-white grass. I closed my eyes, completely out of breath from our dance. I closed my eyes, listening to the silence. Until his voice echoed in my head.
“I love you Yara…”
I looked into his eyes. I gently propped myself up on my elbow, then kissed him a second time.
“I love you too Nox.”

‘I’ll never forget our first dance. Her laughing face, her gentle hands on my waist. How Vire’more was filled with a soft, warm light thanks to her. When the deep night finally fell. We fell onto the soft grass, just outside the city limits. I keep looking at her. At her pale face, her closed eyes, her soft lips.
“I love you Yara”
The words came to me easier than I expected. Her eyes opened. She looked at me. Then she raised herself on her elbows. I felt her lips touch mine again.
“I love you too Nox.” She whispered in my ear.
At that moment I had no idea what had gotten into me. My hands gripped her hips and I pulled her down. Yara laughed. I love her laugh. We looked into each other’s eyes.

“If this is a dream, then we will dream it together.”

Later Yara fell asleep on my chest. Her hair flowed like a moon river down my chest. The flame in my body died. And I hugged her tighter. We fell asleep together. We will never be separated again.’
