long ago I stood alone on a dark barren mountain overlooking the lands below I knelt in profound sorrow offering my soul to the night I called out for death and waited, but as my life slowly faded the night reached out for me and took me as it's child and a dark one came and offered it's gift to drink of the sacred blood in ecstasy unparalelled by mortal lust I embraced the light of the moon and became one with the shadows in silence I wept as I beheld for the first time the most beautiful of all beauty utter darkness truly unblemished by light
