Description
Rex Moonlight, owner and guardian of the Moonlight Mansion(M.M), decades old but forever young, the M.M is said to protect the secrets of forbidden magic such as time travel and immortality, even thou forbidden the learning and practice of such arts is they still are kept for emergencies, unfortunately, Rex situation it's not one, Rex cursed himself with immortality so he could protect his home and knowledge without having to curse future generations to protect the M.M for all eternity, for breaking the taboo Rex it’s banned from most places that deal with magic, however, he was allowed to keep the mansion for not only it belongs to him alone as the last Moonlight, but since protecting it was the motive for his action in the first place it would make no sense to take it away.
He isolates himself from the world only going to a nearby town to restock on supplies, a town that both fear and respect Rex, they fear his power but respect him as a person and his choices, in modem times all those who knew Rex personally are long gone, the only thing that remains are stories told about Rex from the old generation, but like all stories, they changed with each generation, what once was told about a young and noble mage that lived in a mansion in the forest is now about an immortal demon that haunts an abandoned mansion, however since his face has been long forgotten by the masses he still can show himself to the public without problem, but the once full halls and libraries of the M.M are now empty but for now no one dares to approach the lands of the demon.
Now Rex spends his days caring for that old mansion with nobody to make him company, while he had his fun here and there he is still alone and he thinks that's for the best because any friend or family that he makes is one that he will outlive and surfer about such is the curse of an immortal, until one day he notices that a few books that belong to the library where missing, kids book that he used to read when a kid, have them been stolen? If yes, by who? perhaps a kid from a nearby village has been dared to come here and taken them as proof, “no matter they are easy to replace” is what he thought, a day later he noticed that the missing book were back in place and new ones were missing, again he paid no mind to the situation as whoever was responsible was simply borrowing the books and the M.M library was always open to the public, days later he also notices that some food have disappeared and one of the rooms has been used “has someone been living here without my permission” upon inspect the room he notices that some of the missing books where located on the room meaning that whoever is living in this room is also the one borrowing books from the library, during the next few days he starts to pay more attention for the invader and learns more about them, whoever it is they can’t be younger than 4, they spent most of their day in the mansion only getting out before sunrise, and they are in bad shape like a kid that doesn’t eat right and gets beaten “are they perhaps an abused child?” not knowing the answer but also not desiring to interfere he decided to just ignore their presence, what is a little bit of food and some kids books despairing from time to time is gonna do of bad, and so for a month Rex pretend to not notice the little invader, until one of his tomes disappeared, that he can’t just ignore as he is banned from 90% of places that deal with magic replacing a book like that would not be easy, he decided that is finally time to confront his guest, he find them on one of the empty room and finally comes face to face with the thief a young elven girl, what happens next is a story for another time
