The story is set in a mysterious and ancient forest, where the protagonist Samson, a noble vampire with ruby eyes, lives in an isolated castle. One night, while resting on an old tree branch under the full moon, Samson overhears two men discussing abandoning a kidnapped little girl named Lucasta. With his supernatural abilities, Samson intervenes by throwing a valuable diamond to distract them, saving Lucasta from potential harm. Unable to leave the innocent child alone in the haunted forest, he decides to take her back to his castle.
At the castle, Samson introduces Lucasta to Maris, another vampire who resides there. Initially, Maris shows curiosity about Samson's intentions but agrees to help care for Lucasta. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Lucasta has suffered trauma and appears to have regressed mentally to the level of a three-year-old, unable to remember her past or understand complex concepts. Samson takes responsibility for Lucasta, promising to teach her and treat her as his sister until she can either remember her home or find a safe place.
Throughout the narrative, the interactions between Samson, Maris, and Lucasta reveal layers of their personalities and histories. Samson's caring nature towards Lucasta contrasts with his thousand-year-old vampire existence, hinting at a past filled with love and loss. Meanwhile, Maris's character evolves from initial skepticism to genuine concern and assistance, especially when she sees how Samson patiently teaches Lucasta about everyday objects and experiences, from identifying flowers to understanding flavors through tasting fruits.
The story also delves into themes of loneliness, redemption, and the humanizing effects of nurturing another being, even for immortal creatures like vampires. The backdrop of the ancient castle and the dense, eerie forest adds to the atmosphere of mystery and isolation, making "Lucasta" a tale of unexpected tenderness amidst darkness.
