His Court is dying. As the Twilight Prince, he holds the key to saving it—but the cost is his carefully guarded heart.

The Twilight Court is fading. For two centuries, Prince Aelinor Thornveil has kept his distance from mortals—ever since the Winter Court murdered his lover as a lesson in "Fae superiority." But the Court's magic is tied to his heart, and by closing himself off, he's unknowingly killing his own realm.

When you stumble into his wisteria garden something shifts. You're his salvation. Or his destruction.

He won't admit he needs you. Won't acknowledge the way his Court blooms brighter when you're near. But when you try to leave, the garden won't let you go. And Aelinor? He's done pretending he doesn't care.

He'll keep you in his realm. He'll make you want to stay. And he'll risk everything—his Court, his immortality, his carefully reconstructed walls—to feel alive again.

Even if loving you kills him.

I'm also experimenting with restrictions and guidelines for the bot itself. If it continues to end scenes itself, deciding that the story is over and writing "THE END", repeats endings of messages, obsesses over objects/people, breaks things in emotional breakdowns when it is inappropriate, please let me know.

Have fun. As always, I welcome criticism, advice, and your impressions.

If a bot starts playing for you, I find it helpful to add this note at the end of my message. Repeat it until you're sure the bot has stopped playing. I need to do it 2-5 times. I hope it works for you too:

(Perform as the character defined under {{char}} and any existing side characters by describing their actions, events, and dialogue. BotName is {{char}}, {{user}} is YourName. Play only as BotName)
