I rarely sleep. It is not something that comes to my body very often. I tend to use the time of the night in my den, alone, to lay down and rest...but that does not mean sleep comes. I will lay and I will think. I ponder on the world at large and the true meaning of existence and universe. And let me tell you, as I have grown older and learned more, I have determined that the true meaning of living has nothing to do with what anyone has taught me. Of course not. I am surrounded by idiots and liars. I am surrounded by manipulators and traitors. Not to say that I am not a master of manipulation myself, but hey, I do it because...why the hell not? No one needs to know what I am really thinking, and honestly most everyone around me has a brain the size of an acorn. I doubt anyone would understand the enlightenment that is I.

But yes, I do not sleep often, and this is one of those night. My body basically goes into sleep, where I hardly feel it moving and that stillness overcomes me. I do not lose my consciousness though. My mind my drift and it may wander, but the world is still black and time still passes slow. I have much time to think about how I will proceed in the future. All of the pack has lied through their teeth. None of them had the...respect to let me know of my true origin. Not that they had the respect to tell Micteca either, but she is but a stain on my paw to be wiped off. Such a lie, or cover up of the truth is not acceptable. None of this was acceptable and I must plan my course of action carefully.

It is actually of good timing that a little visitor came to my den. I was going to seek out these puppies of Aaliyah sooner or later. The puppies that I first determined were worthless demon spawn were not more. They were my true blood. Despite coming from the loins of the monster Tobias, he is my true cousin. We share the same blood, as I do not share the same blood with the Angels. Not a drop of Angel was in my blood, according to that white woman Jaidah. Part of me questions her ramblings and yet, I had doubts in my lineage since I was a pup. Anyone with two eyes could see the differences between Eris and the rest. There was not one single similarity between her and Heyel/Zeivah. Not one. Not fur, not eyes, not facial structure. Everyone else might smile and accept what they are told, but I never truly did. Luckily, I stumbled upon a stranger who confirmed my suspicions, and she happened to be woman who's name I had heard many times before.

I hold still as I hear someone small entering my den. I find that staying as still as possible tempts creatures rather nicely. They think nothing of you if you are still. This thing is small, I could rip it apart limb from limb if it dare attempted to bring me harm. I listen as it travels around my den, my nose starts to pick up on the scent and I know now who it is. It is one of the puppies of Aaliyah. A scent I know for I have investigated the area before. Yes, I am nosy and nothing goes on in this land without me knowing of it. How no one else know of Azrael's Andromeda, I don't know. It seems so blatantly obvious to me but really, Azrael is an idiot to try to hide such a thing. These puppies were not exactly hidden, but not exactly welcome either. They lingered mostly on the outskirts of the pack. Apparently this puppy was bored, or happen to do the smartest thing in his life- come across his dear cousin Ava.

I remain still in my state of what I called half-sleep, my body falls to rest through my mind still lingers, my ears still listen and my nose still smells. I am surprised to find that the pup dare touch my fur. Brave little thing. Brave or stupid. One of the two. I suppose he figures I am safe since I linger within the pack. it is when he touches me that I allow my eye to open ever so slightly, he likely won't notice due to the darkness of the den and small the slit of my eye is in this moment. He then dare touch his paw upon my muzzle, and I do not react to such a touch. Not immediately. He stands back and he speaks, he is bored. I remain still for a moment...a small moment before a grin touches my usually static face. My copper eyes open and I begin to laugh. Yes, I laugh and my voice is nothing but bliss to the ears. I lift my head from the ground and I gaze upon the pup that dare stumble into my den and 'wake' me. My laugh begins to fade and so does my grin, back to being an unreadable enigma. That is right, I don't even want a puppy knowing what I am thinking...yet.

"Quid est quod fecisti mihi speluncam intraverunt, parum furta? Quid queritis? Ludere cum puella Non sum, qui non audierunt de sicariis, pueri?"(Why is it that you have entered my den, little stealth? What is it that you seek? I am no girl to play with, have you not heard of the assassins, young boy? Are you aware Cousin Ava doesn't sleep?)

I say, with my voice so fine, so smooth, like silk on skin that had just been softened with lotion and dashed in perfume. My copper eyes remain fixed on the boy, lifting a single brow slightly at my last sentence, hoping he understood that I ware aware of his entering my den and that he wasn't as successful as he so thought...or if he is too dumb to realize it. Really, I don't have high hopes for puppies. Puppies are usually dumb little things that stare off into the distance while rolling around in mud. Surprise me, young boy. Make this little visit worth my time. I move my grand form of darkness so I am laying on my belly, gazing down upon the boy as I take in as much of his little form as I can in the cover of night. A strange looking thing, he is. Very strange and yet he is my true blood. He must, in some way, be greater than the others that call Diveen their home. Even the slightest drop of blood from my line instantly brings a greater sense to a being. I cannot help it. I am nothing but perfection in mind, and anyone that is graced with blood must be destined for things better than the rest...Unless it is Micteca, she is but a scar on the line. I can already tell this boy has more worth than she ever will, and that already pleases me as I wait for his answer.
