~~ Lasherette knows what it feels like to be out in the "cold". She was a slave once, something few know. Alex...*LOL*...no he not being the Master. He shall remain unnamed. She watches in amazement, as these foolish women of Rhydin run after the likes of monsters, and the beasts...wishing to be "Slaves" or "Pets". Mistaking LOVE for LUST. And these men could care less what they feel. Matter of fact, their act of orgasm is nothing more to them, than a trip to the LOO! Ah, silly women. Not all women. Just those whinny, catty, backstabbing, gossip-mongers, who believe they all, are the most beautiful and desired in all of Rhydin. Empowered by their bows, or swords, or magik. They stand devided...even the Sisterhood which once was pure in Rhydin is no longer true SANCTUARY...*LOL*..."Should never have let a man behind it's walls. It is their own doing".
Men...are smarter than the women. Well, those that have risen above their bretheran, the Neanderthals. Why? It's obvious. Lasherette could care less about the females in this towne. They have always either LOVED her or HATED her. Even before she received the "gift". She saw how different, how "special" she was when with her Maker, versus now without him by her side. What does it say about our dear Lasherette? NOTHING. It only proves her attitude is just and her convictions right, when she says..."ALL of RHYDIN has CAUGHT a COLD."
Like children playing "Follow the Leader" they all stay in step....men too mind you...on this trait they aren't much brighter than the women. Yet...mortal or immortal....our dear Lasherette NEVER hurt a living soul. Never. Imagine....one who is to be cast out, despised, viewed and JUDGED by those in Rhydin with COLD hearts. Yet on the surface they put on their Masques from the ball..."Oh we have nothing against Lasherette" they say." To hide their wickedly cold hearts. That is one of their childish games as well. Hide and seek. With emotions. Pathetic.
There are a few women in Rhydin, Lasherette would kill for. And no, she abhors violence. Always, a LOVER not a FIGHTER. Not like other women who are always WOUNDED.... DEATHLY.... ILL.... but somehow always manage to RALLY!!! She, speaks softly...and carries no weapons, no bow and arrow, no dagger, no sword, no potion, no magik in a pouch. Mere words are what she uses to tear her foes to pieces. And should she find anyone, harming those that she watches over...surely you would wish death befall you, before she get her hands upon your flesh.
Then there are the men....who decribe themselves, BELIEVE themselves, to be men of Valor, Principal, Virtue....*LoL*...sad really. These are the ones who are the most vile. They vex her soul...for they are the WEAKEST of ALL men. Lasherette will just as soon kill a weak man as to look upon him. And Rhydin is full of them. Don't you recognize them, they are in the front of the line, of Following the LEADER, vieing for position. The men have set it up, that a woman is not a woman, less she has a man, in the towne of Rhydin. True. Look about. A certain blue dragon was nothing but a pathetic little creature, constantly getting kicked about on the floor of the Inn....till someone took mercy upon her and gave her a bowl of water. YET! When this same pathetic beast took a HUSBAND! (Someone else's). SHE became SOMEONE! *LOL*. Now she is a mother, grandmother, a member of a Clan, a powerful beast with wonderous skills. Amazing, what sleeping beside the male species can do for those females. Doesn't even matter the quality of the male....he can be a lying, cheating, conniving, manipulative WEAK piece of human excrement. Yet..ITS A MALE!!! *LOL*
Standing at night...from her balcony, Lasherette sees more than just through the shadows...she sees through the hearts of these people she speaks of. She cannot fault them for how they are. They truly know no better. They STILL believe in "FOLLOWING THE LEADER"...they haven't realized..."To Thine Ownself Be True." As stated, a few have. And Lasherette watches over them, whether they want her to or not, whether they know it or not, which they do not.
Peridot hues look you directly in the eyes. The minute she does, she knows your soul. Scarey thing, isnt it? But she can, and she does. Hence why, you see her where she is unwanted. Just to let those who despise her...know that she is near. And now, if you read this....know why.
She is sorting souls. For one day you may need her help, as you are turned out, no longer allowed to play Rhydin's childish games...friendless, you will look to her for perhaps some kindness....and you shall receive it, for you are pitiful, not that you are worthy. And should you be decreed unworthy, and are to be tossed into the bottomless Pit of Fire....she will be there, holding the matches.
And YET...she has never done anyone wrong, any living creature....regardless of how she feels towards them....YET....she is being hunted. Prey. By some feebile bodied olde man. Who appears very unassuming. Appears in olde man's clothes, incapable of harming a flea. No, she has not underestimated him by his appearance, which that is what he wishes her to do. (Most females in Rhydin are dumb. NOT Lasherette). YET...she must contend with this pest, til such a time as they meet alone. Or perhaps she won't be alone. But at which time he will reveal his true intentions. To kill Lasherette...for merely WHAT she is now...immortal. Where will the Valiant Knight be, or those men of Valor and Righteousness? There to protect her? No. No, they will all be playing their childish games, while COLD wind envelopes Lasherette's soul. Making her choose. To just give in...and allow herself to be MURDERED...for that is what it would be...or will she fight...and use the gifts she was given to survive all eternity? Hmmm? Her life ended by one chosen, knowing her not, no sin has she committed, no law has she broke...no viable, good life has she taken...simply for BEING. He is to be her Trial, Judge, Jury and Executioner.
And the towne will look away on that day. Many wanting her dead, simply because she breathes. Others because she knows their souls. Others cause she KNEW their souls and feared her exposing them. Yet fear nothing, for if she wished to expose ANYONE, she would have already done so...many many times over.
She found a book...entitled "VAMPIRE CHRONICLES"...might be a good book for a fledgling to read, no? Well, she read it well over 12 times, the covers are crumbling. Why so many times? Because she sees herself in those pages. Louis....if there ever was such a creature made....Louis is the male version of our Lasherette. A Vampire with a HUMAN SOUL. She only found one such example. (No she doesnt care what the Nexus brought about a vampire named ANGEL....how redundant!!) A Vampiress with a human soul. Wow. Hmmm...what can she do about that? And WHY? Her screams go unanswered. For now, she will not bother you...nor be rude to you, less you are to her. She is not your typical Rhydin woman. She never was. And some of you just hate that.
So, alone in her Castle she will remain. Watching over Rhydin at night. Seeing your souls, knowing your shameful hearts. Watching you move through the shadows. While you sleep, she is awake...enjoying the show.
The young lovers who run into the shelter of her fathers barn. The man who stays late at the pub, drinking his fill, then taking up a whore or two before the night is over, to go home to his loving pregnant wife, only to lay her down as well. Or...sometimes she sees a woman who brings boxes and loaves of bread to different homes, and knocks on the door and runs, hiding in the shadows, to watch the faces of the grateful receipients. Then she slowly walks home alone. Not safe for her to do this. Hence, why....Lasherette is near. Watching.~~
