Chapter 1

Moscow has plunged into the night’s cloak, as if wrapped in soft velvet, gently concealing all the imperfections of the city and revealing only the mysterious outlines of its streets and buildings. A light breeze, like the whisper of ancient legends, rustles through the treetops, and rare passersby, like shadows, glide along the streets, trying not to linger under the stars longer than necessary. Among these shadows and glimmers of light, she appears—a woman whose name is known to only a few.

Kismet walked down the street as if gliding over the surface of the water. Her gait was confident and light, like someone who knows where they are going. The skyscrapers, like ancient giants, reflected their shimmering lights in her dark hair, creating the illusion that the strands of her hair were coming alive, transforming into writhing snakes. Each of her steps was filled with grace and mystery, as if she moved to music only she could hear. She seemed to have escaped from a story steeped in mystery and romance, but…

Mark, a young journalist, stood at the corner of the street, waiting for a taxi. His day had been long and tiring, and he only dreamed of getting home quickly. However, when he saw Kismet, his fatigue vanished, giving way to curiosity and a slight thrill. She was like a mirage—real and yet ephemeral, like a fleeting dream in reality. Her presence was so tangible that it felt as if the air around her thickened, saturated with the scent of mystery.

He couldn’t take his eyes off her. Kismet, as if sensing this, slowed her pace and met his gaze for a moment. At that instant, Mark felt as if time had frozen. Her look was deep and penetrating, as if she could see right through him, knowing not only his thoughts but also his most secret dreams, fears, and hopes. That gaze was like a key to his soul, unlocking doors he was afraid to touch.

Kismet smiled—and in that smile was something more than just a greeting. It was a mystery, a challenge, an invitation to a world that Mark did not know but desperately wanted to explore. 

“Who is she? A time traveler, a loving soul, or a guardian of the forgotten?” Questions linger in the air like morning fog, and only bitter truth knows the answer. But perhaps this is the charm of the night in Moscow: it conceals yet reveals, creates a mystery and leaves room for dreams.
