Along came another bright eyed demon.
My last stand was always, always versus her!
Breaking my armour just to reach the patchwork of my heart-
Not caring what she wished for cause in the end she wanted it all!
What you see is never what you get and we both know-
The sky is the limit and I'm afraid it's falling down!

When it started, I thought we were different.
I’d lost control, utterly, and this demon burned my flesh. In return, I was given the strength to avenge those I was losing right before my eyes. I gave my all, every piece of me, just to make things right. It never brought them back, couldn’t – but those who spilled their blood had just, if not more, of a demeaning ending.
Maybe I thought she’d gone too far. Too far for what I could morally comprehend as right. I couldn’t accept her as me. Though those lines blurred.
Lifetime after lifetime, I started to see that really...we’re just the same.
I would love to say I fought the primal instinct to rip and tear, but that would be a lie. I’d like to say I tried my best not to look at life in such a violent way. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, right? Well, not if you take their eyes as your own, too. I...guess.
I knew I was hated for it. Exile. Such a dirty word, for all I’d done for them. So much fear, as if I was some rampant terror they couldn’t control. They were right, of course, but that doesn’t ease the sting. Leaving my tribe was the hardest...yet best thing I’d ever had to do.
They’re gone now. Of course they are. I couldn’t protect them, they didn’t want me. Not even sure I could have. I never wanted to, which perhaps makes me the monster they told me I was. I won’t argue that.
I’ve met others of my kind since then. Not of my tribe, never, but those with bright eyes and full of hope that was already lost by my own people. Truly wondrous. Now, I have a Sister. A partner. A family, again. People I will protect with every spark of life burning in my body. As her, as us, as me.

OOC notes: Man, I really struggled to write for this piece. I had too many ideas that wouldn’t merge together to make one story, so I’ve kind of been sitting on it. I have several pages of history and biology written up but no idea if I want to share them publicly or just...sit on it and continue building. So sorry I’ve been slow uploading! I’ll get there.
ALSO THAT'S IT I'M DONE upload spam over. One day I'll be good and not do that but tbh I'm pretty bad.
