I am the genuine article. I'm not a parlor trick or some figment of your imagination. I am your pain and your desire. Your hate and your love. I can be your deepest darkest fantasy or your worst nightmare, the decision is mine.

I can make you love me, you will crave me every waking hour, empty without my touch. Needing my arms wrapped around you and my tongue in your mouth.

I can make you fear me. Drive you into insanity. I hide in every shadow. Haunt your every dream. I can possess your own mother and have her kill you, Gutted like a fish.

Onyx in jade clothing. I am the raven. I am the panther. I am the wind. I am everywhere. Everything.

You will be mine.

You are powerless
