Lily-Rose Youngblood sighed contentedly in the the practice room of Megara's Academy for the Mythical as she let the soft vibrato of the last chord Sergei Rachmanioff's "Sonata in G Minor for Cello and Piano Op 19 No. 3 Andante" ring thoughout the sound-proof room. Well it was sound-proof to human ears. Vampires like herself and certain other other mythical creatures had beyond human hearing so there was a chance someone could hear the beautiful cello music. That solo was Lily's favorite. She it reminded her of the happiest time in her immortal life. The time she had spent with her husband and creator Emmauel Youngblood. Twenty-five years after the piece had been written, at the height of the Roaring Twenties her husband had left the house to feed and never returned. Lily spent several decades mourning the loss of her husband, but time, as they say, heals all wounds, and Lily could now think of Emmanuel with fondness instead of sadness. She wondered if it was cold-hearted of her not care that he was dead anymore...She didn't think so. When you are immortal you accept the fact that you will she almost everyone you care about die. That was simply the way it was. If you got stuck in the past you would go crazy. She secretly decided that she would start dating again. An eterninty was a long time to be without companionship even for Lily would had never had much interest in making friends.

Lily put away her cello and made her way to the library. She wasn't sure was she was going to do there. Maybe read a novel or even write one. Lily was artistic in every aspect of the word and it had been decades since she had sat down to write a novel. She had secret writen many things but never had the desire to publish them. Her writing was for her. She never saw a need to share it with anyone. A young vampire she had met in passing had pointed out that she might be able to share something with the world using her long life experience and extensive travels and Lily admitted that as a possibility, however, the idea never really appealled to her. She disliked anything that would bring attention to her anymore. In her human life she loved being the center of attention and often was, being a beautiful Victorian girl from a well-to-do family but that Lily-Rose was long gone, nothing more than a distant memory to her present self.
