Chapter 1

Imagine a past filled with mystery and intertwined destinies. The two main characters met under extraordinary circumstances in an abandoned port, shrouded in a thick fog that seemed to absorb all sound except that of the waves crashing on the shore.

The black-haired demon had arrived at the port seeking refuge after a devastating battle, carrying scars both physical and emotional. His isolation was an armor that no one had been able to penetrate. Meanwhile, the sky-blue-haired woman appeared at the port with a purpose of her own: to escape a life governed by invisible chains, eager to find freedom in the unknown.

The encounter was almost accidental. The woman, with her cheerful and carefree nature, stumbled upon the demon while gathering supplies for her journey. Her sparkling red eyes met the demon's cold gaze, and in that instant, something profound was awakened. Despite the apparent differences between them, she could sense a hidden melancholy in him that resonated with her own search for liberation. He, in turn, was struck by the warmth and vitality she radiated, something he hadn't experienced in centuries.

They decided to embark on a journey together, each initially motivated by different reasons, but they soon discovered that their connection went beyond words and individual goals. This encounter marked not only the beginning of their journey across the sea, but also of a relationship that would challenge everything they knew about themselves.

The abandoned harbor had a haunting yet magical air at the same time. It was a place where time seemed to have stood still, with structures worn by the years and covered in moss struggling to cling to the stone walls. The ancient boats, now only wooden skeletons, rocked gently in the dark waters, with broken ropes and nets creaking in the rhythm of the wind. The lights from the hanging lanterns were unlit, but their presence created intriguing shadows that danced across the cobblestone streets.

A thick fog spread throughout the harbor, making figures and objects seem to emerge from nowhere, as if the place itself were alive. The salty scent of the ocean mingled with the faint perfume of wildflowers growing between the cracks in the ground. It was a place forgotten by the world but full of untold stories, like a portal to a past filled with glory and mystery.

The atmosphere was calm yet charged with energy, as if every corner hid secrets waiting to be discovered. This setting, with its melancholic beauty and palpable mystery, was the perfect backdrop for the paths of two destined souls to cross.

The atmosphere of the abandoned port played an essential role in their encounter, almost as if the place itself conspired to bring them together. The melancholy of the surroundings reflected the emotional states of both characters: the demon, with his coldness and inner wounds, identified with the loneliness and abandonment of the port, while the woman, with her vibrant spirit and yearning for freedom, sensed an opportunity to transform that sadness into something new and full of life.

The dense fog added an element of mystery, making their meeting seem both accidental and predestined. The woman, with her curious and optimistic nature, interpreted the port as a blank canvas full of possibilities, and her vibrant energy contrasted with the oppressive stillness of the place, inevitably attracting the demon's attention. He, accustomed to silence and isolation, was intrigued by how she seemed to glow even in such a gloomy environment.

The echo of the waves and the creaking of broken ships created an almost ritualistic background sound, as if sealing a shared destiny. In this setting of abandonment and desolation, the two found an unexpected connection that wouldn't have been possible in a more conventional setting. The port was not only the physical setting for their encounter, but also a symbol of their own emotional states and the potential for transformation.
