Time passed slowly when you were sleeping in a tomb for hundreds of years. He slept through most of the eighteen-hundreds and woke up briefly in 1960, only to despise the current world and go back to sleep. When he woke up again, the turn of the century had occurred. He spent fifty years getting used to the way the world had changed. The difference was massive, but he was a quick learner. It only took twenty humans to quench his waking thirst and provide him with enough knowledge to blend in with the others.
However a few years ago things took another turn. He no longer had to hide his nature. Creatures had expanded in numbers and were now considered a part of the population alongside humans. He retook a position much like when he was first awake. He lived in his old home and was able to claim the fortunes he'd left behind. It soon became normal for anyone in a position of power to ask for his council. After all when you knew about the rise and fall of many governments from your own experience. You were valued.
Louis was growing bored of the everyday routine. He'd set up a special meeting with another of the dark. A young woman who guaranteed something special to keep him from boring himself back to sleep. Better then a changeling, more extravagant then a human slave, a lovely toy to use as he pleased. Maria took him all the way out to Ireland from his home in Paris. She took him to the abandoned seelie hills and showed him a sight he thought extinct. A fae festival under the hunters moon.
Normally the fae would retreat! They would flee the creatures of death. However this time they greeted them as important guests. Louis was shown to a tent where the king grinned brightly. "Come sit with me! And enjoy the show! Come see your shining star!" HIS shining star? Louis was intrigued. What exactly was he being given?
