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."
