Louisa May AlcottMatthew kept hinting that his desire - for blood, chiefly- was so strong that it put everything else at risk. But vampires werenโt the only creatures who had to manage such strong impulses. Much of what qualified as magic was simply desire in action. Witchcraft was different- that took spells and rituals.

She always thought people were like pieces of art glass-- strong enough to handle and use, delicate enough to shatter under a strong blow, and filled with swirls of color that fascinated the eye. But while most people--and most glass--allowed light through, she could discern nothing of Devlin's heart and soul through the smoke and mirrors he held before him.

People like me. And people like you.

One may bask at the warm fire of faith or choose to live in the bleak uncertainty of reason--but one cannot have both.
