~Reborn~

With the passing of so many, it was odd that he noticed one soul in particular.

He watched as she moved through her lifetimes.

She came almost always in the same manner, born to the local nobleman.

She would be raised surrounded by all the luxury her petty humanity could afford her.

He found it quaint that she remained above the trapping of richness.

When she came, it was always with a meekness of spirit and a gentleness of soul that stirred his mind.

She walked the world touching all around her with a gentle, kind and pure soul.

He wondered why he was drawn to something so different than he.

She was his opposite. The pure light of innocent life. Her presence soothed him in an odd way he could not quite place.

For he was the night, the darkness and the evil will of death.

With her gentle meekness, there was also a strength.

She stood proud against the world defying her parents at times.

He watched, amused to catch her in times of solitude running with gleeful abandon.

To dare tread the paths in the thick woods against her father's wishes.

To watch one human repeatedly age toward death was always sad.

But with each lifetime passing, he knew she would soon be reborn.
