Prologue: "Kira"
You belong to me, my Snow White Queen
There's nowhere to run
So let's just get it over
Soon I know you'll see you're just like me
Don't scream anymore my love, 'cause all I want is you
-"Snow White Queen", Evanescence
The skin of mortals was nothing short of disgusting. So imperfect, so flawed. He flexed his fingers, watching and feeling the muscles contract beneath the skin. There was the occasional crack in the flesh, a small mark here or there, placed just to hide his immortal radiance. He scowled as he walked through the city streets. They were not nearly as pleasant as the wind's currents.
And yet, the god of the west winds thought as he examined his human disguise once more, it was just a small price to pay. Because while mortals were disgusting, vile creatures, there was one who was quite the opposite. So much so that this mortal haunted the god's every thought to no end. If it meant having him, Zephyr didn't mind posing as a human for a little while.
An image of the ebony-haired mortal pranced through the god's mind like a dancer. When he closed his eyes he could see that pale, ghost-like face, that wide, impenetrable stare. When he breathed he could smell the sweet scent of the human's hair and skin, and when he felt heat he imagined it came off the man's slender body. The desire to have that lovely mortal for himself and himself alone ate at the god with an unbearable, maddening persistence. Kira ached with the desire to hold the human to him, to see the dark-haired man writhe and squirm beneath him with that pretty mouth screaming the god's name…
And so Kira decided, why not just find the mortal… and take him?
He quickened his pace with a smile.
Hello all!! It's good to be back! It's also nice to finally be posting this damn thing, seeing as I've had the idea since last year. This stupid story has gone through several rewrites, and this is finally the version I've posted. I already have the next update ready, but unfortunately that's as far as I've gotten so far. With my school work, updates will not always be very quick, but I will try as hard as I can to write when I have time and post ASAP. I can definitely say that the only way this story will be discontinued is if I die, so any patience will be rewarded... eventually!
That's all for now. As always, reviews are always welcome, criticism is always appreciated and flames... well, they always suck, but whatever! TTFN! Ta ta for now!
