The amulet that I wear around my neck reminds me of the day that we changed, for the better or worse I am still not sure but I know that I have in fact changed. A range of emotions that until the death of my brothers had been focused solely on them now allows me to see the world anew. I can feel pain and happiness like never before and a love that I was not sure I could have for Dmitry grows within my heart that is well on its way to complete repair. In those last few moments as an immortal being I felt things that I never thought I would feel and though the pain that I felt in those last few moments that changed me physically and reformed my heart so that it now suits the configuration of a human heart was far greater than any, it is now a memory that I can gladly escape. I feel different, though I thought I would not.
‘By the spring our transformation should be complete Sabine, we will be human.’ Dmitry looked a bit saddened as he brushed a bit of hair off my face. ‘Will we Dmitry?’ ‘Yes Sabine, I made a sacrifice as well.’ He pulled me close as he always does and kissed me so that I didn’t worry about the death of my brothers or the removal of my immortality. The castle, though far less inviting than the home that my brothers and I had made it is enough to sustain any family. The first scouts for the new village in the clearing started trickling in a few days ago and rather than worrying over the castle in the distance they came to our front gate and knocked rather civilly. Dmitry, the gentleman always invited them in and told them about the purchase of the castle that was all together false. I held my tongue as any good woman is wont to do and listened as Dmitry wove the pattern of our new lives.
