I bring the evils of despair and grief.
You protect against the blackest of fear.
He rules the world when the hearts of men leave.
We are the one who exists, even here.
I slice through darkness to rend souls apart.
You enshroud and hide the king of despair.
He lingers where the fly devours the heart.
We are the one whose realm is everywhere.
I shed the lifeblood of man, beast, and time.
You shelter the emperor of the ghost.
He dominates without reason or rhyme.
We are the one who reigns over the host.
We are the one who creates downfall.
We are the one who adores and greets all.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
