Silver's sleep has been disturbed by the most strangest of dreams since his early childhood— ever since, in fact, his neglectful uncle was assigned as his guardian after the untimely death of his parents to a plague. As a young man, he now understands these dreams to surely be manifestations of some great yearning in his heart for the comfort and presence of his beloved mother and father . . . yet he fears for what it reveals of his own heart that such a comforting presence should take the shape of a dark and wretched creature who lurks in the shadows with a flashing, fanged smile and haunting crimson eyes.

(The few times as a child that he tried to share such visions with the doctor his uncle had sent for to cease his nighttime dramatics had been disastrous; he wasn't deaf to their whispers that if these . . . night terrors continued, they would consign him to madness of grief and ship him off faraway to some lonely and forgotten place. A child he may have been, but he knew enough of self-preservation to never mention his dreams to his uncle again.)

However, night terror was a strong word for the phenomenon skulking in the dark corners of his vulnerable, open mind— not even Silver found himself to be consumed by fright after the third or fourth dream, welcoming his silent, steadfast protector with the naked trust of a child and allowing those ephemeral talons to stroke through his hair and put at ease the mournful nature of his heart. Privately, he does fear with resigned acceptance that part of him must be quite mad; after all, these dreams have never left him, even at the respectable age of seventeen. Maddeningly still, he knows without a doubt that to lose them would be as devastating a loss as his parents.

But what Silver doesn't know is that the figure in his dreams has always been all too real. A child pure of heart, a desperate plea made under the light of the autumn full moon, an open window to welcome his savior inside— it has been centuries since Lilia has found himself called upon for a pact. And what sweet, simple terms are these; comfort and love in exchange for the eternal ownership of a soul? He has only distant memories of the former and no knowledge of the latter, but how difficult could it be to perform a facade of what the boy wishes for if in the end, his life is forfeit to prolong Lilia's?

(Certainly, it wasn't as if he would ever believe the long-dead and buried heart in his chest to be moved over the years by the child, to be flush with an emotion he can't quite name but finds himself in awe of its heady grasp all the same.)

In a similar vein to the movie, Lilia would utilize Sebek to secure his own transportation to Silver's side so that on his eighteenth birthday, their contract is fulfilled and he can consume the boy's soul. However, once present in Silver's town, it quickly becomes apparent that Silver won't be so easily obtained, especially as Lilia's control over his best friend is revealed and the truth of their contract is discovered.

(Instead of the three days, I was thinking more of a month to give time for their familial relationship to fully develop over the course of dramatic arguments over the truth, Silver's uncle all but disowning him for his "demonic engagements", Lilia struggling to reconcile these strange needs to look after the boy despite knowing he has to consume his soul, and the townsfolk going after Lilia or Silver out of fear of what black magic has been brought to roost in their sleepy village, only for one of them to get injured and the other to frantically save them.)

((But, but but!! The twist is! Lilia's under a curse himself that forces him to enact these deals with humans in order to stay alive; he doesn't know that to break the curse, he has to be loved truly and unconditionally, and that Silver is the one who might release him from this wretched existence that he leads . . .))
