The scarlet cross we bear until the bitter end

They will never know all the blood we shed
Madness is the gift that has been given to me

You can say I wasn't someone who was favoured. Not even among my own you could say, but I like to think I have matured at least a little bit. I'm not quite as coiled in within myself as I once was, and I don't kill as indiscriminately as I had in my younger years. I'm not expecting a warm welcome because that isn't what I have earned. Maybe the real reason I had come was to show change. To show that I'm not as bad as I once was. Or maybe I'm just kidding myself in the end, though I like to think I'm more intelligent than that. After all a majority of me remained true to it's nature, something that liked to cause damage to those that opposed it.

Ishtar is as quick as I remember, and I could have moved if I wanted to but not completely out of the way so it is natural instead of risking injury by getting something hit that she indeed gets her way. My ears flicker backwards at her snarl but instead of retaliating with my own and snapping jaws as I might have once done I simply slick my ears back. I know better than to resort to such aggressive means now. As to be expected she wasn't very happy to see me and yet this was exactly as I had been expecting. That is my cue as I let my muscles loosen up, releasing my forms of defense against the blood mouth's fangs. Light green blue eyes do not offer any ounce of defiance or anything that just might set her off. I did not come here to start a fight.

It may be really quite late but I am ready to be what I was meant to be, I was ready to protect those that I had been meant to from the very beginning not to do as I had before. "I did not come to fight you Ishtar. I came to prove that I am not who I once was." My voice is low in tones, because that is what feels right in this moment in time. I came to be where I belonged.
