You mustn't fall asleep just yet, darling, it is not quite your time...

A blurry horizon of deepest violet. The sea of gold washes from side to side, gently lulling the trees into a hypnotic trance, enticing the vivid feathered bullets that shoot slowly here and there, stabbing the dirt. Look upwards, to where the sky should be, and see only an empty void...deepest violet. Cast a stoned eye to the future instead and look upon pristine diamond that glistens in the unexplained moonbeams.

Thou shalt hold no other Gods before us.

Hot breath smelling of sweet oblivion. Rusting corpses and hungered ghosts swimming in the meltdown of a softening brain. Inhale, seek solace, and find only choking exile from oxygen. An arch nemesis clutches at an exposed throat and threatens quietly to cease life altogether. Beg emptily for release and salvation. Recieve none and, in suffocating frustration, flail clawed hooves at a faceless smile.

No, no...this won't do. Don't you know who I am?

Impossible to tell until told first, without the stretching bones that hide so many strange faces. Such beauty concealed behind curious monstrosity, a poignant lesson to be learned. Blackened eyes from a nameless race of titans, the old ones that came before...but how to remember such things, being so young? Able to breathe again, sucking disappointing life back into the chamber.

Thou shalt not...thou shalt...thou shalt not...thou shalt not, shalt not, not...

Snapping smile and hateful lap of tongue against high and mighty cheek. Distinctive taste of blood and sin. Curling white smoke from the same diamond figures, wrapping around the faceless beauty that surrounds nothing. Trying to hide it again, the devastating cursed face that hypnotises and entrances those unfortunate enough to come up against it...too close, always too close...

Temptation is such an exquisite word, heart of mine, is it not? Come with me.

The promise of nirvana, sealed with a kiss. Sudden crimson bruises upon thinning lips and the withdrawal of white vapour from darkness. Siamese defeat as the cruel ones win. A battle that was never fought and a war that was never won. Millenia pass. Closed eyelids, spiderlegs trapping vision behind thin, reddening sheets of delicate skin, never to unlock. Velocity...

But you knew that already. You all do. The Twins were never in control of fate, my love...
