I know he's been watching me this past month ever since the night of Beltane.

I know who he was to me in that first week of him watching me, yes he maybe human to most people but to me he is the salve to the pain and the darkness that consumes me for over a millennia.

I was not created this way but the destruction, the power of the Darkness entered me and grew to what I am today, the vessel of all Darkness.

There is darkness inside all of us, though mine is more dangerous than most. Still, we all have it, that part of our soul that is irreparably damaged by the very trials and tribulations of life. We are what we are because of it, or perhaps in spite of it.

Some use it as a shield to hide behind, others as an excuse to do unconscionable things. But, truly, the darkness is simply a piece of the whole, neither good nor evil unless you make it so. It

took a witch, a war, and a voodoo queen to teach me that.
