Go Forth -- Destiny Islands [Open]

Slade stepped onto the sand of the beach. He couldn't really feel it on his feet, because his boots were thick and lined with metal. Despite this, the change in texture on the ground was noticeable to his carefully controlled sense of balance. He moved just as smoothly over the sand as he did the hard floor of his Mistress's castle ( Read more... )

'My sire had been fond of astrology, perhaps even moreso after he had made that fateful decision all those eons ago to damn Nosgoth and to rule over a crumbling empire. Long were the nights when he stared at the heavens above, seeking to decipher the mysteries of those inscrutable bodies and to divine what the future held in store for himself and for his world.

'In truth, my warden could have ceased speaking after the first pause. One look at me was enough to send most humans screaming- the only difference was whether they screamed in rage and attacked me, or screamed in fear and ran away.
