About "Letters from the Heart"
I had originally
written this story as a result of some role-playing I did with a friend of mine.
I wanted to do something for our two characters named Lucien and Celesta.
The interaction between our two characters prompted me to write a story about
them. I quickly became obsessed with their store and the characters.
I immersed myself in my work. Even as I finished writing it, I wasn't
satisfied. The story was disjoined and a little incoherent. So, I
analyzed the story, picked it up again, and rewrote it, making the story mine.
The love between them was almost like one of those Shakespearean plays or one of those novels by the Bronte sisters. Their love was a very private thing. Not many truly knew what happened between the two of them in the story. The love they shared was as plain as daylight, but still no one seemed to have noticed. Everyone, save one person, seemed to have underestimated the overly formal, shy, easily embarrassed gentleman from a distant land that had become a knight.
I hope I have given the characters more depth and done the characters justice in my presentation of them. I truly hop you enjoy the story.

The Players
~Lucien Roan, Knight-Errant of the Knights of Noctura~
A young man from a far distant land that has journeyed out to Camille after
claiming that he was disinherited from his family and discharged from the
military in his homeland after losing his title. He was helped by Neria,
one of the first few people that he had met, to settle down in Camille. He
became a Knight of Noctura with the help of Sir Edgar, whom he would like to
think of as a friend, but has never fully felt comfortable around.
He is a very honorable man and always strives to better himself and do the honorable thing. There seems to be an inner strength to him that will get him far in life and he's very dedicated to his duty and what he sets his mind to. He always tries to be a gentleman and, oddly enough, always turns down a friendly dual.
~Lady Celesta of the House of Ranporr~

a deceased Knight of Noctura that Lord Bruce knew personally. Many men via
for her attention, but the most notable ones are Sir Roarke and Sir Edgar.
She harbors a deep affection for Lucien and considers him a close friend, thus
making him the object of many men's jealousies.
She is sweet and a bit indecisive, but means well. Demur and polite, she is a lady through and through. She has a sharp wit and oft times a sharp tongue. She always has peoples' best interests at heart.

was the one who recruited Lucien into the Knights of Noctura and has a strong

words and does everything deliberately and with care; however, he appears to be
rather possessive of what he considers his.
~Sir Roarke, Black Knight of the Realm of Noctura~

unhealthy obsession and only considers Edgar his biggest rival for Celesta.
~Lord Bruce, Knight Grandmaster of the Knights of Noctura~

Edgar. He hopes that one day Lucien will have more confidence in himself
and become a leader of men.
~King Draconis, Ruler of the Kingdom of Noctura~
He, too, knows of Lucien's past and the reason why he is here. He
gives Lord Bruce permission to allow Lucien into the ranks of the Knights of
Noctura. He is thought to have others plans for the young knight, but not
even Lord Bruce is privy to those thoughts.

first arrived in Camille. She sees him as a very dear friend who's
antiquated sense of chivalry as very charming and endearing.
