[Sodium_noir] Listen to the Night

[eugene mcfadden]

>Titus, Mercia, a bunch of others
>Lasombra, Tzimisce, differing clans
>Pack haven

>Titus took it all in, looked out on the roof top, looked out on Gotham
>beyond.  Sirens in the distance, guns shots, car horns.  The sounds of the
>night.  He walked to the edge of the roof and looked down.
>
>' I have a great many failures, Mercia.  And a great many weaknesses. And
>this was before I was given the curse.  The howling of the Beast is as
>nothing compared to the rage I feel inside, burning at me.  And I have felt
>that rage for so many, many years.  I tire of it, I truly do, but it drives
>me forward, every night, on and on and on.  Knock me down and the rage 
>makes
>me get up again.  Break me and the rage makes me put myself together again.
>Always, it must be turned outwards, `cause when it ain't, it eats at me.
>But it is my dynamo.
>
>' That what you mean by making my greatest weakness my strength?'

>"Very much so!" The Tzimisce replied thoughtfully. "But much of that dynamo 
>is fueled by the path you walk tonight. When your methods and your compass 
>change, so will those things that feed your rage. What the Human despised 
>about himself, or the Humane vampire, the Tyrant comes to accept or to 
>ignore as no longer relavent. You must be ready for a great many changes 
>during this period of metamorphosis. The threshold you cross will be marked 
>by many signs."

>He joined Titus on the roof edge.

>"Alternatively, the ability to turn those flaws into such a driving force 
>ought to be ackolwedged. I believe that you will find new direction and new 
>purpose on the road of Chivalry Titus. I advise you to keep the first steps 
>to yourself however. share them only with those you trust. While on the 
>threshold you are in danger from oportunists and parasites, and they may 
>see this time as a chink in your armour!"

Titus looked out on the city, his city.

Well, a city he shared.

' And ambition, how does ambition tie into this path?  It was never 
something I had untill recently, and now I have i, I do enjoy it.'
