prologue
I am Nicte Canek.
Nicte meaning "mayflower"or just "flower", and Canek as in "sky star".
It is believed that everyone and everything has a certain degree of K'uh.
Mortals call it many names such as one's soul, a divinity, sacredness, a life force and so on.
This unseen power is within every creature; supernatural or not, and within every object or thing.
My teacher who was my mother, has taught me all i know. I remember she emphasized one thing, and that was: nothing on living earth lasts forever.
There are lifecycles for everything; Life and death rule over this mystical soil, and change is uncontrollable and inevitable.
In a world where there is good, there is also evil. That is wise judgment, and it applies to everything. Humans, animals, and supernatural creatures like me alike.
Throughout various moons of my life, I've gained an understanding that greed rules one’s heart.
All those who walk on this soil are greedy. That being humans, vampires, werewolves, fairies, elves, witches and the list goes on. Everyone has a drop of greediness within them—craving power, status, money, bimmortality, pleasure, love, happiness and much more.
We are all made to be selfish creatures, but it is not until we become one with the earth and sky that we will finally find peace.
For that to happen, we must welcome death with open arms.
