Elotor Is Life

I have a little headcanon that Astor’s name is so old and ancient that no one even knows it, in the Dark Forest. They just call him The Dark One or idk like He Who Rules The Shadows etc? Like he hasn’t given it to anyone until the day he gives it to Elodie. And she’d like…smile at him and tell him that she will treasure it forever? He’d maybe chuckle or joke about how now she knows him. And she’d touch his hand so gently and murmur that “I knew you long before you gave me your name.”
