"Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong.

No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it."


― Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man


I Will Love the Light:

For it shows me the way... yet I will endure the darkness, for it shows me the stars.


― Og Mandino



Hunter of My Heart: "... He makes me wish that I could sing, that I might properly convey the beauty he brings."


It Cannot Be Seen, Cannot Be Felt:

Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,

It lies behind stars and under hills,

And empty holes it fills,

It comes first and follows after,

Ends life, kills laughter.


― J.R.R. Tolkein, The Hobbit



[[Eaglefolk]]: Not your typical Egalrin, Kha more closely resembles an owl when her face can actually be seen. Her plumage is atypical of such familial ties, however, and what makes them so is largely a mystery.
[[Green Warden]]: She is a Ranger under the service of Gilead and stands readily against Caracoroth and his cohorts.
[[Seeker of the Storm]]: She is not content with waiting for the minions of the Wrathful to come to her, and believes that if the fight is to be won, she must take it to them. She seeks an artifact in support of this action, but as yet no public knowledge of her quest exists.
[[Roof of the World]]: She is from the very perch of heaven; she misses her mountainous home, as will become readily evident when dealing with her for any extended period of time, but something has driven her and her partner from it.
[[Awkward]]: Even when people have managed to get beyond her subtle paranoia and suspicions, she doesn't really seem to know what to do in social situations. It's a bit like not knowing what to do with your hands when someone's taking a supposedly candid photo, only full-bodied, and full-minded, and ... it's all a rich tapestry of failure, really.
[[Secrets]]: She listens. Always. It's getting her to talk that's the trick.
[[Nocturnal Hunter]]: There are things in the dark that are not there in the light. Perhaps she might lead the way, or maybe she might just take you deeper into the darkness than you'd care to go. Either way, she seems to know the night, and the things that lurk therein.
[[Reaper]]: As a hunter within the service of Gilead, Kha is ever-aware of the necessity of the cull. As a result, she has become quite adept in the art of killing. Never without reason or cause, she may well be a ready ally for those she deems worthy, or needful enough.


We Cast A Shadow On Something:

Wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won't do harm - yes, choose a place where you won't do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.


― E.M. Forster, A Room with a View



Wrong Side of Heaven - 5FDP

I spoke to God today

And she said that she's ashamed

What have I become.

What have I done

I spoke to the devil today

And he swears he's not to blame

And I understood

'Cause I feel the same


Arms wide open

I stand alone

I'm no hero

And I'm not made of stone

Right or wrong

I can hardly tell

I'm on the wrong side of Heaven

And the righteous side of Hell

The wrong side of Heaven

And the righteous side,

The righteous side of Hell.


I heard from God today

And she sounded just like me

What have I done

And who have I become?

I saw the devil today

And he looked a lot like me.

I looked away, I turned away


Arms wide open

I stand alone

I'm no hero

And I'm not made of stone.

Right or wrong,

I can hardly tell.

I'm on the wrong side of Heaven

And the righteous side of Hell.

The wrong side of Heaven

And the righteous side,

The righteous side of Hell.


I'm not defending,

Downward descending

Falling further and further away

Getting closer every day


I'm getting closer every day

To the end, to the end,

The end of the end

I'm getting closer every day

Arms wide open

I stand alone

I'm no hero

And I'm not made of stone

Right or wrong

I can hardly tell

I'm on the wrong side of Heaven

And the righteous side of Hell

I'm on the wrong side of Heaven

And the righteous side of Hell

The wrong side of Heaven

And the righteous side,

Righteous side of Hell.


Blood On My Name - The Brothers Bright

There's a reckoning acomin'

It burns beyond the grave

There's lead inside my belly

Cause my soul has lost its way


Oh Lazarus, how did your debts get paid?

Oh Lazarus, why're you so afraid?


When the fires,

When the fires have surrounded you

With the hounds of hell coming after you

I've got blood,

I've got blood on my name


When the fires,

When the fires are consuming you

And your sacred stars wont be guiding you

I've got blood,

I've got blood, blood on my name


Not a spell's gonna be broken

With a potion or a priest

When you're cursed, you're always hoping

That a prophet would be grieved


Oh Lazarus, how did your debts get paid?

Oh Lazarus, why're you so afraid?


Can't you see I'm sorry?

I will make it worth your while

I'm made of dead man's money

You can see it in my smile


Oh Lazarus, how did your debts get paid?

Oh Lazarus, why're you so afraid?


When the fires,

When the fires have surrounded you

And the whole wide world's

Comin' after you

I've got blood, I've got blood on my name


When the fires,

When the fires are consuming you

And your sacred stars wont be guiding you

I've got blood,

I've got blood, blood on my name


It wont be long

'Til I'm dead and gone

It wont be long

'Til I'm dead and gone

Watch the fire rise

Burn through my skin

Down to the bone

Scorching my soul

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to run!


When the fires,

When the fires have surrounded you

With the hounds of hell coming after you

I've got blood, I've got blood on my name


When the fires,

When the fires are consuming you

And your sacred stars wont be guiding you

I've got blood, I've got blood on my name


When the fires,

When the fires have surrounded you

And the whole wide world's

Comin' after you

I've got blood,

I've got blood, blood on my name
