And so it starts. With the acquisition of the most suitable building on the square and a lot of renovation work, the first part of the transformations had been completed. The dark corners and loose inhibitions would become a perfect hunting ground while the upstairs club would bring in a younger crowd that lived later on into the night. As the saying goes, "Build it and they will come."

It's cold out there
Another winter, another year over, another year older. And what seems to stand out the most is the coldness of it all. Walking these streets, hearing the faint crunch of snow under foot, Nathaniel looks around at the decrepit, decaying streets that once were filled with vibrant life. Could it be his presence? Did death really follow wherever he wandered?
Taking the long road, he glanced to the dilapidated houses and defaced shop fronts before stopping to look back along the railings of the park in silence, where children's laughter once rang out through the day. Surely, even in the snow, there should be laughter and play?
After rounding the corner, seeing the abandoned vehicles, he couldn't help but appreciate the solitude in a small way. In all honesty, it wasn't Nathaniel that had ruined this neighbourhood, it was those who took over once they'd left.
Perhaps there was hope though. He knew one way to drive out those that had ruined the area and it would take very little on his part. As dark as the acts may be, it's always possible to find such beauty in dark times.
Finally approaching his destination, sliding the key into the lock, he smiled to himself. Things were about to change, that he knew as he looked out of the window at the square. Just you wait.

Paradise Lost in SL
Many of you may be aware of a performance that occurred last year, an SL first that was hailed by many as a creative masterpiece. Having been part of said event was an absolute honour for me and I have to thank those who gave me the opportunity to do so.
This amazing story, as depicted by the wonderful Basilique Performing Arts group, shows the story of Adam and Eve and how they fell from God's favour. The story is brilliantly formed from John Milton's work and moves gracefully along to the sound of Mozart's Requiem, capturing the raw power of each scene in graphic detail.
Canary 'Becky' Beck is now pleased to announce that for this one week it will be free to register on her website to watch the motion picture of the event. All you have to do is visit her site and follow the instructions here.
Act now, because it is only free until the 19th of September. The film will be available after this date when a ticket is purchased. The post on her blog goes on to state that there will also be an in-world screening of the performance.
Please, please, please show your support for this amazing show. It was a pleasure to be in, it was a pleasure to watch and it is a pleasure to advertise here. Don't forget to watch out for my name in the credits!

No time to be shy!
Vanity is a funny thing. It drives us to hide ourselves when we believe we are to be ashamed and to strive to be seen when we feel we have something worth seeing. Sometimes, it's the opposite that makes us hide too, knowing we have something beautiful but hiding it out of embarrassment, even from those who have already seen and felt its beauty.

Lead him, Tame him, Enjoy him.
She knew exactly what she had in mind, she knew exactly how she wanted him and from the moment he walked through the door she knew she had him.
She pushed him back, pressing a hand against his chest until he stumbled before pushing him down with her foot.
Words weren't needed, he understood perfectly and wouldn't need asking as she slowly undid the buttons of her dress shirt, dropping it to the floor. He watched with a grin on his face as she revealed her plans, lowering on to him and enjoying him.

Out of Sorts
Waking up in a strange bed, still deleterious from the fever. He still couldn't thank her enough for letting him stay the night let alone feeding him. The poisons would wear off, never in any real danger but the offer of her blood soothed the pain and let the illness pass much quicker.

Control
There are certain pleasures that can be enjoyed by everyone in the heat of those moments, when bodies collide. The feel of her skin, the touch of her lips, the warmth of her body against his as he presses her against the wall. And then there are the pleasures that very few can enjoy. The beat of her heart pounding in his ears as he leans over her shoulder, the sweet taste of her as he penetrates her skin, the hot liquid passing his lips as he steals her. After all, what is being a vampire if not relishing in it.

Just Try to Remove Me
It's a natural occurance, the removal of threats to superiority. In the wild, many anumals will kill off young who might grow up to challenge their dominance. This can be seen in all walks of life. Having shown his ability to be the dominant and even being handed the crown, the council was unhappy. But it would take a whole city of vampires and lycans to remove Nathaniel from his hill. Standing in the ruins, on this, his high ground. He waits for the next round.

Dear Sister
Family is something people talk about a lot. They talk about mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles. Family is so much more than this.
Nathaniel lost his family, a long, long time ago. All he has now are those he knows he can call family. Those who he can be safe in the knowledge that they'll be there for him as he would be for them. Those he can confide in. Those he can truly be himself with.
One such person, he now calls sister, an honour only given to one other on this earth. Knowing full well the truth about his real family, about his true sister, this is not something he gives lightly. Thank you, sister.

Casually Waiting
The first rule of being this way is to hide what you are. If they all knew, they would all rise up. People like Nathaniel have been hunted for as long as man has known they exist, through fear. How can such anger and rage be hidden? How can it be kept from everyone?
The best way is to hide in plain sight, be as they are, become another face in the crowd. That is when you are truly hidden.

Angels and Demons
Not everything is as plain and simple as it may seem. Though many choose to see the world as black and white, as good and evil, there are instances when what can seem to be evil deeds are done as an act of love and goodness. And on the other hand, what can seem like a pure thought or deed might in fact be laced with malicious intent. Then some things are just a beauty to behold.

Back Roads
Sometimes, the call of the back road is far greater than the call of the destination. This is true both in life and in driving or riding. We should always endeavour to take the back roads once in a while, taking the time to enjoy the journey instead of always rushing to get there. Maybe even pause half way to enjoy the view.

Living Like Money
Nathaniel had the keys in his pocket already, walking around the estate. He was looking for the garage, to find his new car. He had had a good look around the house once he'd been invited in by the current/previous owner.
"Harmony would kill for a place like this." That had been his first thought. And once the young blonde he had met in the cocktail bar the previous night let him in, her fate had been sealed. Her willingness to have him made things all too easy. Inviting him to shower the scent of an entire night spent drinking away seemed like a win win to him.
The brilliant white marble bathtub was covered and the curtains look like some sick and twisted modern art. Still, it would be easier than cleaning up the carpets.
Finally, he found the garage. Opening the back door, he strode past the car to the shutter and kneeling. With ease, he pushed up the shutter, overcoming the electric motors and gearing and allowing the light to crash in like a wave. He stayed crouched for a moment, looking back to the house. "Happy Birthday, Harmony." He said out loud.

Life's a Beach
He wasn't usually a fan of sand, it gets everywhere. He's been around nearly eight and a half centuries and yet he could still find sand in places he never knew existed after a day at the beach. Today was different. He was happy to trade his beloved woodland and his frequented urban areas for mildly warmer pastures. The sun had been beating down on this stretch of beach all day and the sand was warm even though the air was cooling. He'd spread himself out and just took the time to enjoy it for once as he listened to the waves lull back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. He sat up a little, adjusting his shades so he could look out over the expanse of water, as if he could see the other side. When night fell his being would not be so calm, so he felt like making the most of it.

Leap of Faith
There was something about standing on a rooftop that spoke to Nathaniel. The solitary feeling of pulling yourself out from the crowd, almost like looking in from the outside. The breeze was uninhibited by the surrounding buildings and rushed across his skin and through his hair, causing his turned up collar to flap.
Nathaniel closed his eyes, drawing the scent of the evening air, inhaling deeply. He paused before exhaling, the breath escaping from his between his lips. He took a step up onto the ledge and without pausing he spread his arms and carried on over the edge.

The Morning After...
The night had started out calm, pleasant almost. He hadn't intended anything as he sat at the bar, drinking alone for the.... 5th night in a row? He'd managed to convince the barman to leave the bottle with him. He'd gotten around half way through the bottle when the sound of the door heralded the arrival of four rowdy young men. Nathaniel closed his eyes and took in a deep breath through his nose... wolves.
He payed no attention to start with, as they played pool loudly at one end of the bar, but as one of them drew closer he glanced to see. The young man looked the same age as Nathaniel appears, but like Nathaniel, he could be much older. His dark hair was shoulder length and unkempt. He had a short beard which framed his face. In that short glance he noticed the young wolf was watching him. The war might have been over but many families still held animosities.
Nathaniel poured himself another glass, swirling it before taking a long sip. It was the lack of sound that alerted him, followed by the sound of movement. He threw his drink back before slamming down the glass and spinning around on the stool. As he did so, the sound of a rush of air caught his interest. Swinging his fist around with his body he drove it through the pool cue that was intended for his back. Standing before him were the four young wolves, one of which was now holding a shattered pool cue.
"Now then, boys... how should we proceed?" He grinned, baring his fangs...
The walk home felt a little longer that morning, having had the disadvantage of numbers and alcoholic impairment. He was a little sore, but still... you should have seen the other guys. No, really.

Vigilant Traveller
The forests and woods in certain regions were treacherous at night, and suicide on a full moon like this one. The light flooding between the branches and leaves let eerie shapes dance among the sodden undergrowth. Each step caused sound which bounced around from trunk to trunk, letting the entire forest know of it's inhabitant.
He moved cautiously, hoping that the sound of he and his horse would not draw too much attention too soon. He was still young, but still fast. He knew that should he need to he could abandon this great, beautiful thoroughbred to the wolves as a meal and a distraction. His speed would always be his savior in his first few decades but for now, his vigilance would be all he required. His search was only just beginning to reveal the extents of this world he had discovered.

The Rescue
He'd swept through the castle, a hand full of resistance kept fighting but the battle had been all but won. There was no sign of the wolves he'd been hunting, though the Katana on his back had tasted plenty of blood that night. Not his usual weapon of choice, however it was difficult to find western steel this far east.
He was about to give up on his venture when the smell of old blood filled his nostrels. The smell led him along a very long corridor and up into an eastern tower. As he drew closer the smell became intoxicating. The door was unguarded, left abandoned by the wolves as they fought or fled. The sound of a chain clinking made him press to the wall, inching forward to the doorway he peered around to see her. At this very moment a very fortunate captive.

Against the Wall
The bar was fairly busy. His eyes scanned around before returning the tumbler of amber liquid on the bar between his hands. The sound of people socialising, laughing, joking, shouting, clinking glasses and moving chairs were like white noise. His ears listened for the detail beneath it all.
There it was, a distinct clack, clack, clack. It was a perfect cue. He looked down at the second tumbler of amber liquid, taking it in his fingers and placing it just off to his right in time for her to step up to the bar. He looked down to her high heels, which had given her away then up to her face as she looked down at the drink then at him. She had been about to catch the barman's attention but no need, she figured.
"Well, thank you." She smiled teasingly, taking the short glass. "How did you know?"
"I've been waiting for a person with good taste... been a couple of attempts." He grinned to her. She raised the glass to her lips, taking a slow sip. He did the same, not breaking eye contact from her. Finally, she placed the tumbler on the bar again.
"So what exactly did you have planned here? Pique my interest with a drink and see if you can try your luck?" He shook his head and turned to face forward.
"I don't plan things anymore." He took a sip. "I just know what I'd like." He looked up to her again.

The door to the alley way burst open and he staggered backwards through it, grinning darkly. She followed him, sliding her hands under his jacket and tugging at it. He let it slide down his arms before pushing her against the wall. His lips met hers with vigor and her response was just as energetic, her hands searching his sides and sliding up is shirt. He pulled her leg up to his waist, pressing his hips into hers as his tongue danced with hers.
She pulled at his shirt, urging him to raise it off his torso. Eventually, he complied, raising his arms and allowing her to pull it from him. She looked at his bare chest then back up to his eyes, silently. There was a pause of calm, ended by his urge. He leaned his head to her shoulder, kissing her neck and dragging his tongue up towards her ear. Her head tipped back and she closed her eyes, she could feel his hand move slowly up her thigh to the edge of her shorts. She let out a light moan as his hand slipped under the material. Then she winced, his fangs sank deep into the side of her throat. She was helpless to him but she didn't care how much it hurt, it felt so good.

This is my Gift
I thought the first night would be the worst, a sudden release of anger, finally letting myself be free from my morality. I thought it'd be like a burst that would die down... it would seem I was wrong, I feel it growing. It's like deep inside of me my darkness is once again getting the taste for this. This is my gift to the world, this is my gift to you all. I cannot alway promise I will make it quick.

Midnight Feast
When the darkness falls, that is when he is strongest, when his will to remain human by any form wains and he is more the beast than the man...
She was exquisite...

She was exquisite...
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
Will you still kiss me the same when you taste my victim's blood?

The Darkness Creeping In
I'm not even truly sure what happened, I just know it had to happen. I've put it off too long and now it's overwhelmed me. A sweet release for the creature, which I had bound and gagged and left to die in the prison of my own conscience.
Is he free again? Or will this be the rare sight of a beast only freed for one night out of hundreds?
I daren't imagine... but when I do... it excites me to my very core... What have I done?

Freak Like Me
How twisted can you be to have the sickest thoughts like me?
I'll listen but I'm free, so don't tell me I ought to be.
Just like the rest or in a vest, the choices that I see.
But I confess I'll like the vest, keeps you away from me.
Since you're afraid to see what's real, you'll live in make
believe.
You have parades and make your meals, don't give but take
with greed.
A life that you can savor is a life not hard, but free.
But what would all your neighbors think, oh no your yard's
not green?
Give anything to shun us, keep us still, don't let us leave.
Give anything to stun us, we're not ill, just let us be.
And if you feel we're lame, well then we're nothing weak,
you'll see.
But if you feel the same, well then you're just a freak...
like me.

Engagement Dinners and Lucid Dreams
He sat opposite her, smiling, beautiful, perfect. He knew all this, her features oh so familiar but why was it he felt so strongly but only recognised her. He could swear he'd felt this way about her for so long but as he watched her eat he was confused... why her? Who was she really?
Without control, he put down his knife and fork and stepped out from his seat, smiling as he walked around to her. She frowned as he took her hand but stood anyway. What was he doing? He got down on one knee, taking out a small box from inside his jacket and revealing a ring. Her hands immediately rushed to her face in utter joy and slight embarrassment but she nodded wordlessly.
He beamed proudly as he took the ring from the box and slid it onto her finger. Words couldn't express what he was feeling.... mostly confusion.... What in the hell was going on and why was he doing this. Who was she? She seemed so familiar but he barely knew her at the same time.
He stood, still holding the hand with the ring on her finger. The diamond and sapphires gleamed in the dull light. She stared into his eyes as he leaned down and kissed her knuckles, graciously.
She turned bright red as he pampered her silently... Why were neither of them speaking? Nothing was adding up, he just knew he cared about her more than anything. But who was she and why?
She stepped closer to him, a little shorter than he, even in those heels. Her hands reached up and cupped his jaw and she giggled in complete silence. Leaning up on her tiptoes, she kissed him softly as he placed his hands on her hips. The silence added to the way he felt her... or did it? It also added to his concern... there was an open fire, but even that made no sound,
He kissed her back, softly at first but then more and more deeply. Suddenly, he felt his hunger for her. His inner concern switched. In sheer panic he willed himself not to do it, he clearly loved this woman.... Don't do it!
He couldn't help himself. He swung her round and leaned her over, looking into her eyes as she smiled up at him. He smiled back, a deadly, fanged grin. Her smile disappeared almost instantly but she was not quick enough to stop him. He feasted heartily as she gripped onto him in desperation.
Eventually, she went limp and he had to cradle her completely. His mouth was covered in her blood as her last breaths seeped from hers... what had he done!?
Suddenly he sat bolt upright in his bed, it was pitch black in his room. He leaned back in relief, wiping his face before speaking "What the fuck was that?" Who was she? What did that mean? It all seemed so distant but the look of horror on her face as his expression changed was imprinted on his mind.

Hanging Out with Harmony
What can I say about Harmony Sandalphon? The first real family I have had in many years. There was a time things could have been so different for us but really I am glad it didn't, because the relationship we have is perfect. A true friend, a sister and one of the few people to put up with me for so long... Even if you are only fun sized.

Bridge of Thoughts
He had come to realise something very early on in his very long life, he lived most of his life in his head. There were very few who truly knew what it was like inside there, and even fewer who would stick around long after they had. He often found himself stopping, spending time to take in his surroundings and live his life in his head. Sometimes for as moment, sometimes for hours on end, either way it helped him take himself out of the world for just a short while and reflect.

I Know a Bar Where the Drinks Are Free
Most people have a drinks cabinet or a mini bar in their homes, not him. Since his club was burned down (multiple times) he had always missed keeping a well stocked bar... and now he had one again. The spirits were stocked and the draught beer on tap was kept well chilled. He leaned against the bar with his elbow contemplating whether it was worth throwing a housewarming party yet.

High-End, Play the Part
He'd probably never had it easier. An infared sensor? Please. The keys in a lock box by the door? Why, thank you! He chuckled lightly as he straightened his tie and corrected his cuflinks. Well, if you're going to steal a high-end car like this you have to look the part, right? He wondered for a moment as he put the key in the door, did James Bond himself even look this suave?

Getting Up in the Evening
As the sun passed across the edge of cliffs and through the bare window it managed to creep its way across the floor. It's glare was uninhibited by the rich wooden floorboards as the amber glow made it evident that it was time for him to rise. He lifted his head a few inches from the pillow before openning his eyes and looking dirtily at the evidence of his old solar enemy, even though half a century had passed he still at least prefered the dark.
He slid from between the black satin sheets and pulled on a pair of trousers, looking at his shirt and jacket from the previous night. He placed his face in his hands and rubbed away the sleep. Taking the jacket up and slipping on his sneakers, he sighed.
He placed his hand on one of the bed posts, feeling the deadly material. Stretching out, he leaned on both end posts and hung his head slightly. Deep in thought, his mind racing through every aspect of his current situations... I hope the path reveals itself soon. Right, wrong or between, any path would be appreciated right now.

Homely
Having realised his tiny little townhouse was hardly enough to cope with the demands of a growing toddler, it was time he upsized...
First he had to find a new home...

Then he had to furnish it....

The Dangerous thing about these department stores is they always seem to sting you at least twice...

Then and only then could he relax.... until he remembered how much he'd just spent... Damn.

My Queen in the North
In a time where honour was becoming a rarity, there was one man who would serve as her Queen's guard with no question. His sword, her deadly hand in the night. His life, her shield in the day. Never asking for more than the honour of being her most prized swordsman and trusted knight as his payment.

The run down area suited him well. He could come and go at any hour and no one would think it any different to the rest of the miss-spent youth of the surrounding area. The boarded up windows served very well to hide his true life.

Painting Eggs
It was with a huge smile that Nathaniel watched his youngest daughter painting Easter eggs for the very first time. Even creatures such as he have the capacity to dress up in a pink bunny onesie. He happily shares the day with his dear friend, Solsty and Fallon's mum, Harmony.
Special thanks to Solsty for setting this day up, Harmony being a great mum, and to my beloved daughter, Fallon... Daddy loves you.
