There is a certain solitary silence tonight.

The sound of a gear clicking to place, and the clockwork of Time and Fate have suddenly become irreversible.

The midnight breeze smells the same as it did years ago, and there is no sadness therein. Thus tThe plates have shifted, the world has changed, yet the air is still the same.

Today, I remember my mortality.

Today, I remember my emotion, my passions, my inclinations, my decisions, my choices, my dilemmas, my personalities, my changes, mySelf.

As does a cold steel dagger pierce the heart of a mythical god, so does my immortality vanish. And once more, I am

human.

There is a certain cruelty in the air tonight, that night.

You had cast down an angel.

You had created a demon.

And so will I run free.

Azazyl

Stench of humanity,
The rot of those fair.
Despair!
Of lost sanity and
Dreams never there.
