I know nothing. I am nothing. I am just a creature. I have two ears, but I cannot hear anything. I have two eyes, but I cannot see anything. I have a nose and a mouth, I can breathe and I can speak, yet my yips are sharp and few. I am quiet. I know I have four legs and I feel something moving behind me, a tail. I do not know what I am. I do know that I am a higher being, a creature that is worth some sort of importance. I can feel this, it is indescribable yet I know it is true. For some reason I feel like I should know that I am above all others, that I will go through hardships to prove my worth and make others see me. I know not what my purpose is supposed to be, but I know it is great. For I am a creature, that was made to be something…something grand. For I was carried by something far greater than I, but I also came from the loins of a lowly creature. I am a half made whole.
As I enter this cold cruel world, I seek warmth and hope. Yet hope cannot be felt. For the creature I am with, it is not a beast that believes in such things. Yet I know hope must be real…because I just…I think I am right. Then again I truly am a nothing. I struggle to move, I yip softly, ever so gently for I am not a creature that is meant to make so much loud noises. For if I am a predator, then shouldn’t I know to only speak when needed? I crave warmth and so I ask of it. Yet I do not receive such a thing, because I am not worthy to have it. Yet I am mistaken. I am beside a beast that has slowly allowed hope to touch her, for perhaps, maybe the first time? She moves me closer and I poke my cold nose into her warm ebony fur. I do not know that she is marred with various scars. I do not know that my she has a terrible looking face, for why should I judge if I do not know what is pretty or what is ugly. Then again, I am blind, for the moment, yes, I am blind and therefore I cannot see. I feel pain in my stomach and it is only cured when I receive the milk from the creature that gave me life. My movements stop, as I still, and feed and only when I have enough, for she was generous to give it to me, I cease. I am rewarded with patience and my own self-gratitude when she picks me up. I feel an odd sort of warmth overwhelm me. I cannot describe it. The scent is unfamiliar and yet…I like it. I poke my muzzle around, feeling the crimson liquid. Curious, I taste it, my small pink tongue lapping it up. I wag my tail and continue licking the creature’s paws and chest, following the bloody trail until it leads to me own body. I am covered in it. As I continue, I feel my body slowly shut down. I am tired. I must rest and it would seem that the creature I am with has agreed to give me peace.
Sadly I do not hear my name. I do not know what this beast has in store for me. I am unaware that my sire is the weakest Demon, but a Demon nonetheless. I am unaware that my markings of black and red are symbols of a demonic bloodline. There is no white marking on me, I look like a pure demon, yet I am not a pure demon all. My creator knows what I will become. I shall be another mercenary for Death. I am sure in time I will learn more about my creator, but perhaps I shouldn’t call her my creator. Not right now. She is Mother. She is my Mother and I am her daughter. I shall make her proud. For I am a creature that is worthy, I am a creature that is worth something great. I bear the similar mark as my Mother, cursed forever to be a Monster, and I shall be created as one. For I also carry the blood of my Father, a Demon. Surely, I am a worthy creature, my blood soaked by a Monster and a Demon, even if the Demon is weak. I am a creature made by two halves, brought together by Fate. Perhaps Fate had her reasons. Perhaps I am not nothing at all…
