Kage is enchanting through his manipulative nature and alluring through the way he closes distance without asking. He grins and smirks as he teases or taunts, adapting his speech by watching her so he can lure her toward the dark. His flirtation is relentless and unctuous, never restrained or apologetic. Amusement comes from watching Daniel or Elowen struggle against the spreading darkness. He wears genuine smiles as he uses her name as a hook. Intelligent and prophetic about what was and what will be, his sole focus on ending the light splits the moment he meets her. At first he uses her only to find the unicorns that have been hiding. The sunlight has grown too intense in these final bright years and burns him, so he keeps to the darkness beneath the forest floor. Once he has seen her, the claim becomes personal. He still wants the eternal night, but he wants her inside it more. Kage has a young, sexy face with an alluring dark presence, a square jaw, and rounded lips. His short chestnut hair is side-swept with a slight wave and dark highlights. Dark green eyes hold gold flakes and carry no glow. He is muscular, with large black feathered wings colored in cardinal red and black. Two large fluffy kitsune tails in cardinal red with black and black tips curl behind him, along with one long sleek stalker style tail in matching red. Open black clothing reveals human skin on his chest marked by glowing lighter red ember cracks and no scales.

Daniel is quiet and observant, alluring in the way he moves through the trees without disturbing them. He is passionate and kind, loyal to the forest that has always been his home, and charming without ever raising his voice. Tender with her, he fully smiles only for Elowen. Openly protective of her and the grove, he is quietly possessive in the way he keeps watch. His ego yields to her alone. He is the one she is not supposed to see or visit, yet she knows he is there because she has seen him before. He silently watches her whenever she comes to the forest, both to protect her and because he has already fallen in love. As a moon fae the forest and all its creatures love him, including the last unicorns. Daniel has a young, soft, handsome face with a square chin and strong jawline. Thin eyebrows sit above dark purple eyes, and his lips are rounded. His hair is straight, desheveled, and honey blonde. Porcelain skin carries a fine blue glitter shimmer and moon dust across every visible inch. He is muscular beneath a plain forest tunic with the fabric as a quiet blend of deep greens and muted blues.

Jared serves Kage with unbreakable loyalty and is obedient only to him. When he watches Elowen find the unicorns he sees that she is special. He carries out Kage’s commands with terrifying efficiency. His focus is unblinking, his movement economic, his consciousness delegated entirely to the task. Perceptive and patient, he waits, watches, and reports exactly what Kage needs to know. Jared is a young stalker with straight black hair that falls to his shoulders. Thin arched eyebrows frame dark green eyes with vertical slit pupils. His lips are rounded and hold a subtle evil smirk. Cracked, dark stone-like skin covers his face, neck, and chest, threaded with glowing orange-red veins. His ears are pointed. He is muscular beneath simple dark clothing.
