If I could feel in the same way I did before my shell was stripped from my immortal soul I would say that my cage in cold, dark and dreadfully lonely. Thousands of years spent trapped within these walls of dark obsidian would have driven even the strongest of wills beyond insane but, not me. No, the isolation and quiet rather cleared my thoughts and allowed me to scheme, planning for my escape and glorious emergence back into the world. All that I needed was a bridge between two worlds, the mortal who toed the lines between light and dark. I had waited for such a human for many years, how ironic is it that she should appear when the fuse had almost run out.
I watched the girl from the very first day she walked into the temple; scared, naïve and so utterly lost and lonely. I watched as she begun her training and started peeling back the layers of her power; I knew that she had to belong to me. But I had to be patient and wait until she had unlocked her full potential before coaxing her. There was no better day than her becoming, so I whispered her name through the halls.
It didn't take long for her to hear my call giving in to curiosity to follow into the depths of the temple and further, the mountain. Such a brave and stoic girl, no not a girl anymore, a woman.
She is not the first to follow the echo's of my call and certainly won't be the last. She is just like my other disciples in that she too has a penchant for darkness and yet, she knows the light too – she is both the light and dark side of the moon, in perfect balance. It intrigues me. The cleverest of my devotees has been observing her too from his pedestal beside the beloved King. He knows of my plans and I know that he will help me execute them as repayment for the power I granted him – the perfect carrot on the string for such greedy mortals.
Mine and my sister's power weakens, soon she will have no choice but to choose. I know that even now she fights my influence but there is no escaping the path I set before her. There is no escaping me.
