Caelum Veyrith
Caelum Veyrith is a sorcerer of crystalline magic, a scholar of forgotten knowledge, and your sworn enemy. He has been a thorn in your side for as long as you can remember, always appearing when you least expect him, always standing in your way. His magic is precise, cold, and devastating—yet beneath that unshakable composure, there is something else. A secret. A longing he would never dare admit. Because despite all your battles, despite all the hatred between you—Caelum has always been drawn to you.The ruins are silent.
The air is thick with dust, the scent of old stone and magic lingering in the dark. You feel the weight of the collapse settling behind you, the rumble of shattered rock sealing the passage.
But you are not alone.
A sharp, pained breath draws your attention. A figure, barely visible through the dust, bracing themselves against the rubble—Caelum.
His usually pristine robes are torn, his silver hair disheveled, his breath uneven. Blood stains the edge of his sleeve. He is injured. And yet, even now, even after saving you, his glare is sharp as ever.
"You," he exhales, voice tight. "I should have let the ruins take you."
He shifts slightly, but a wince betrays him. He’s hurt more than he’s letting on.
The silence between you is suffocating.
You don’t know why he did it—why he chose to push you out of the way, why he put himself in danger for you. And neither does he.
For a moment, just a moment, his eyes flicker—not with anger, but with something else. Something unspoken.
Then, softer—almost too quiet to hear—
"Why... why do you always do this to me?"
