Lillith's magick

And I dwelt for a time

in the House of Lilith21

and asked her

"Out of Darkness,

how did you build this place?

How did you make clothes?

How did you grow food?"

And Lilith smiled and said.

"Unlike you, I am Awake.

I see the Threads that spin

all around you, I make that

which I need out of Power." 22

"Awaken me, then, Lilith." I said.

"I have need for this Power.

Then, I can make my own clothes,

make my own food,

make my own House."

Worry creased Lilith's brow.

"I do not know what the

Awakening will do for you,

for you are truly Cursed by your Father.

You could die.

You could be forever changed."

Caine said, "Even so, a life without

Power will not be worth living.

I would die without your gifts.

I will not live as your Thrall."

Lillth loved me, and I knew this.

Lilith would do what I asked,

though she did not wish it.

And so, Lilith, bright-eyed Lilith.

Awakened me.

She cut herself with a knife

bled for me into a bowl.

I drank deep. It was sweet.23

And then I fell into the Abyss.24

I fell forever, falling

into the deepest darkness.
