Of Love13

 

And they asked Caine the old Father,

"Why do you command us to not Embrace

those we love?”

And Caine said to them, "Love is the sweet rain

which falls down from the One Above.

Love is the gift of life.

Remember ye not Auriel's Curse?

That we are to eat only ashes, drink only blood?

Blood is not sweet rain. Our drink takes Life."

And then Caine's eyes got the look of Visions,

and he quieted, then he spoke:

"But if ever one of us is gifted

with the love of a mortal

without Command or Awe,

without compulsion

a Love given freely,

then that Love will be as

the gentle rain

to even the lowliest of us.

And though we shall not Embrace it,

it will feed us as if we supped at our Father`s table

it will satisfy our deepest thirst.

But barken ye, my children!

The Children of Seth will always hate us again and again,

for we are their predators

we are their Masters

and they know this. deep in their soul.

Look not for Love among them! They will not give it.

Be not a fool."
