The Gift of Sight ::Contest::
Since the day I was born, so Im told, I was different. I was too different for you all.
She kept me away from the world, my mother, kept me away from your gaze, your judgment, your fear.
Its been so long since I have been close to anyone, since I touched even another living being, now that she has gone.
Now that I have no one I barely exist here alone.
The day she died I vowed not to miss her; I begged my soul to die, but it didnt.
She was my only companion in this life; and now any link I had to your world is gone.
I walk through the city streets at night and gaze down deep into those tar like pools of midnight rain
What have you seen?
What have you witnessed beyond the walls?
Blinded by the Human's Vision.
Mere souls who have soiled
The Sight!
Given to the Gifted Youth
I have seen more.
Through Space and Time
Horrific beings that have passed from the Underworld
Monsters, disguising themselves as everyday Spirits
Throughout all else.
I have glimpsed past the suffering, heartless world.
I see through the Eagle's Eyes
Soaring through Mother Nature's breath.
The Netherworld's Gift Pure Childhood Innocence.
The dwelling forest's emotions glint and deceive a Mortal's Wit.
The White Stag's Golden Treasure is concealed t
