I am a creature that crawls in the night...
I haunt your dreams and memories
and feast upon your fright.
There is no use in fleeing..
just let me being freeing you from this
ever tedious mortal coil.
I will find you once more,
and again you'll be mine.

I am her Lancelot and she is my Gwenevere.
A queen skilled in things both earthy and divine.
Of all men I alone see her fully.
I alone can possess her whole.

I am a pillar in her castle.
Cool and quiet, I am invisible
to the horde which seethes around us.
So still and strong that though I hide nothing
they cannot see me at all.

Through all days I stand sentinel over her.
I watch her ally, decieve, enlighten, defend.
The knights at court are pawns before her will
and through them she can achieve great ends.

*waking from a dream* 'I wish these dreams would go away' Saraphine thinks to herself as she gathers her belongings to move on.

'Maybe I should just go to this place, The Black Raven Inn, so these dreams will go away and I can sleep for once.'

*She gathers herself and packs her little satchel*"Lovely, Here girl" Saraphine calls for her white German Shepard.

"I wish you would quit wondering off like that" she says as she pats Lovely on the head.
