Being a fan of dark fantasy as a theme, I have read many books where the immortal creatures that featured in the lead roles, fought a constant esoteric battle each night they woke up, in a futile attempt to find a reason to keep on existing. I can only fathom what would be like to be living for countless generations, to see kingdoms rise and fall, to watch people you knew and loved perish under time's inevitability and finally become heartless, soulless, devoid of emotions and exhausted from the pursuit for the meaning of existence. Yet a glimpse at the eyes of the girl you have so insightfully created makes me wonder whether the answer to the eternal question is inconceivable far or, actually, too near for us to become aware of it... Excellent work.
