| Of Love |
| And they asked Caine the Old Father, "Why do you command us not to Embrace those we love?" And Caine said to them,"Love is the sweet rain whish 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 harken ye,my children! The Children of Seth will always hate us again and again, for we are their preditors 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." |
