The smells of the desert reminded him of growing things of life...The cycle is complete I now must become what I have always been and will ever be...Karma is Karma at least that is what the old monk told me when we recued him from the NVA regulars...
Do not think, exist...
The moment is all that you will ever have...
The wolf sits upon a large rock looking at the moonlit valley below him. The conversation with Ethan still burning into his soul. "You were offered to me like a beast to be traded, used, discarded, of little value." I know this is not what he said but it was what he ment, still why punish myself, does the pain make me feel alive? No it doesn't it keeps you from what you truly are...
"Ange De La Morte, this is your name now my beloved child" Genivive's voice echoed in his blood at this memory. Why had she given him that name? It was given because it's who you are fool, he screamed in his mind. The wolf became a man and he simply knelt letting the wind caress his cold dead flesh and cleanse his soul.
"Nothing remains to be felt or shared...I am ready to become my namesake." Forine smiled it was not a smile of joy but of acceptance and complete surrender to truth. "Will Jacqueline want my heart when it has become ash, cold and bitter to the taste? he thought. "The gather will be soon, time to rise from the ashes. "The name of the city is appropriate", forine smiles to himself, as the ash shall be the place of rebirth."
The sound of a radio echoes weakly into the night the ground littered with dead. Forine strides through coldly smiling at the slaughter that lay before him. "They have been given the final gift and I am sated thus I shall kill no more this night." He turns towards the lights of pheonix, shifts into the form of a wolf and silently disappears into the night.
