a lesson to be learned, so light the fire

There's a difference between darkness and nothingness. Darkness is being a temporary resident of rock bottom, a shadowy state of melancholy that's only motivated by the fact that you can only go up from there. Dark can be converted to light, slowly but surely, so that we have a glimmer of hope. Nothingness? It's being totally numb to the reality surrounding you. It can only be reversed if you put your entire soul into making something out of nothing. Trust me, I would know.

Matriarchs are Trenestrians who have contracted "The Infection," or, in Trenestrian religious terms, Varhiin. Typically, they are still scaled, but the scales are darkened to either dark brown or pitch-black. Their eyes match their Trenestrian form's. They are unusually hairy in usual forms, and their bodies are often covered with a coat of unkempt hair that makes the beasts look almost apelike.
Matriarchs are the only known infected that can infect other lifeforms, and are able to infect any creatures with a strong enough immune system (s

It was the first sign of the Infection exposed to humans, and Tre-Du'un was the first Trenestrian who dared to venture above their underground strongholds and expose himself to humans. He had done so to ward off the Infection from the human race.
His attempts were unsuccessful, as it had already infected 23% of the people on Manhattan Island. All humans he saw were infected so far... except one.
This young girl was on the ledge of a catwalk, kicking Infecte
REDEEM: Prologue + Chapter 1 In that freefall, he thought briefly about what he had been through. He didn't know how many miles up he was. Barely on the edge of Earth's gravitational pull. He gained rapid speed as he fell. The wind attacked him and his sunglasses flew off his face, though it made no difference in the night. The torn and ripped parts of his suits fell off of him and flew through the air, seemingly soaring above him when only floating down slowly. Junk from the airplane fell around him, from pickup trucks to weapons to potted plants to computers.REDEEM: Prologue + Chapter 1 in Introductions & Chapters More Like This

Midsummer nights revive old tales
And magic long forgotten
Mayflies above the lake play scales
Clouds reflect fields of cotton
Cool soothing breeze tangles the hair
Of green carpets on meadows
Where butterflies and poppies share
Kisses nestled in shadows
So lightly, barely touching ground
There hand in hand walk lovers
Two hearts by velvet sunset crowned
Reign over fragile flowers
Like ancient phoenix earth is burned
Each evening in sun's tether
For us, fools, meant to crave and yearn
Stays love - a golden feather

Out of stuff way too colourful
And glues them on faces of men
Who then stomp chessboard with their feet
In brothels red lanterns do shine
Gates there kept open, welcoming
Children to find their way back home
To the tower of Babylon
Pockets and wallets resonate
With choirs and gospels of the change
Dreaming of freedom and revenge
Who lives by coin, by coin shall die
You ask me "Why do birds have wings,
When sons of mortal men can fly...?"
I guess we humans aim too high
Before sun laughs us in the face
So is there any happy place
Except for our enchanted realm

Passion has no taste
It just burns your tongue
While fingers compose symphonies
On nameless ribcages
Black widows don't label their pets
Other than with dull numbers
Making disappointing engagements
Worthwhile episodes of a life wasted
On selfish charity, superiority
Damage of clarity of human heart
Dwelling frightened, cracked and murky
In its fragile shell
Soul is a carton box
That implodes in heavy rain
While rays of sun in a marmalade jar
Mean a miracle, if piled up carefully
A man says he met God in the subway
What most don't want to listen to
See, mirror is the one true friend
As it always smiles

Upon sinners do not shine
But don't my lips pray fervently

Damnation and salvation
And it feels strangely tempting
To dance across it blindfolded
Dressed in just faith
In that your heart is true
I'm condemned, bareheaded

From ancient wise books
No good for your prophets
An angel for you
With purest charcoal
You've drawn wings on my back
For your passion's painted
