Syriac's POV
This world.......this life.....even this half life of mine has always been filled with pain and missery. Nick my host doesn't know it yet but he's quickly becoming a weapon that many will wish to harness. We immortals even an immortal who's chosen my path has limitations, we have rules, laws so to speak, the laws of balance keep us in check for they are older then all of us. Nick on the other hand is becoming something else entirely.....some thing inbetween.....something powerful but not bound by our laws......looking at this boys history would prove this point.......he has all the makings of an immortal and yet he is some how tempered with his own humanity........humanity as if such a thing could make such a thing could make all the difference. If Nick wasn't tempered in this way he'd quickly gain enemies among the immortals. I'm exhausted inside this boy's body. My own consciousness is tiring of this trapped form, but still yearns for the freedom of mortality even with all its limitations. I could sense a change in the world a shift in power as the only immortal who could bring back the dead and break the laws of balance did so, I felt sorry for what ever poor desperate creature was spit back into this world not knowing the price is not always worth the journey. Desmerak the keeper of the immortals was granted the power to break the laws of balance but only if the journey was matched by the souls price......the price could be anything depending on what the soul sought in this world and what purpose it wanted to be here for. Desmerak has the rare position of being above most immmrtals due to the fact that he keeps them in check in case they break the laws of balance. I felt an energy enter this world I rememeber.....it was Kate.....it was clear to me then that the battle lines were being drawn, because whether she knew it or not she was a messenger. And the message she would deliver is dire indeed. For now I will bide my time and rest then rise to do what I must to protect this world once again as is my charge.
