An Angel Must Bend

What is nature without her mysteries? An ageless want of the unknown which every age craves…needs. Tonight is the dawn of the Immortals. Led by the mortal’s imagination for a time as long yet unknown to him. We are as many, both separate and coupled, alone and emerged, chosen to live or not to live. We are a kind as they, humans. Vampires envy, lust, feed, and hurt as they do, as you do…and here are a few of us come forward to share our tales as a means to live again, and to appease that very same need I speak of.
It is I who will initiate, as it is fair of me an introduction thereafter, so as to orient my long hidden kind with yours, with whom we’ve this long co-existed.

Who are we but companions of a lost time…best as three immersed by and by, second to none in our longevity. Lust and Blood and Darkness, is that not the lore of your fear? Every capture we’ve come, and every dream has done we’re from. A well of severance from a bitter mass opinion, this fiction of reality has masked you. I admit it makes me tilt my head, and suddenly I’ve need to confess the chaos I bed.

Along with my brothers this glacier of secrecy has turned to suffocate me, and as daring in youth I hunt for understanding. I seek a mind to stand within these anointed walls of our clans. *Bows his ashen head, sighing confounded*. Is there no sense in union where it should not be? Have we finally ignored such idle caution? For I am doubtful I can continue this way…

Has your mind been supplanted by enough superstition to save me? Have I chosen well in you, since I cannot know when I’ve failed to read you in my haste? For my abandon I have done, and I leave myself at your mercy Sariel. Take me otherwise in your embrace, and lift me where you’ve wept when you’ve always left me.

The angel groans and must bend, resting her hand where she would kiss. “I am blessed, but only here can we love. As much as I would offer you in this flesh, you have my love and my answer. Now cure your troubles and take me as you would your freedom, my beloved Chiang-shih“.
