For centuries...Eons...You have called me monster. You have called me the antithesis of your goddess. Though my mother is now part of the ancients that watch this world and all of its folly, she gave me a name. To some it is a name of war. To others - pure terror. I will not be judged by human standards.
I am Arielle Boabhanshi...
I do not hunger. I am hunger. My flock is all the dregs of modern society. Murderers of their own species. Molestation of human kind, and cannibals of nature. These are my sustenance. And for that, I offer no apology save that I am in sorrow that there is only one of my kind.
Do not look for me in the darkened forest. Do not stand guard in the death of the daylight. Look to me in the stars and spires that reach towards, what you humans would call, the heavens...

The Strike
He is young…
They will say it was they who murdered him
They, who war for whatever god they wish to will on others
They who kill for riches
They, not I
He is young. His blood rich…
His bones tense with youth
I have sinned in their eyes
My only sin is that I live beyond their laws
Beyond their lives
His flesh is taut…ripe with lifeblood that I need
His life was of value to me
That is important
It is more than the kill
It is survival
...My survival
