Once I was a traveler, living on the road far from home in far away places.

I lived for what new I would see, a world behind every corner, and new wonders with every step I took.

Once I were under familiar skies, basking my wings like so many times before.

Feeling the wind rush past my form as I dive down towards the ground.

Only to pull up before I hit the earth beneath me.

The pleasure of gliding up towards the sky yet again fills my heart ever so much.

Once I was in the forest of my birth, running through the woods for a thousand times.

Letting my paws bring me forward, faster and faster, till I reach the opening of my cave.

My heaven, my sanctuary, my home.

Once I were the earth that is so often tread upon by animals, by men, and by my kin.

I mind not their walking over my resting place, for I feel peace under the light of the sun.

Once I were the mist, floating through many things and all places.

The mist hiding in the fog, hunting through out the night. Before me, man and beast will succumb.

Feed and steal ever so often I need, never too much and never too little.

so I can live my life in harmony.

Once I were mortal, alive and breathing. Heart beating in my chest, with blood pumping in my veins.

Alive and free, I walked, saw, heard, tasted, felt so many wonderful moments in my life.

Carefree singing under the sun and bathed in the moonlight.

Once I died and the world changed, shifting my reality, breaking my mortality...

But my humanity never ended.

The night became my new day and the moon my sun, blood became my food.

The beautiful light from the sun is some I will no longer live to see, if so it will end in my death.

So the night became my domain, so let the moon guide me and judge my actions.

My name is Marian and this is my story.
