Time passes.

Sev knew this well, and he had seen many things come and go. The triumph of men, how easily they were impressed with themselves. The wars, even he watched with interest at times. The way they tore at one another with bombs, with chemical, but how even their mighty warriors would cry as babes when he would show up to take them to the gates of hell.

There were women, there had always been women. They came into his life, after his wife and child were taken from him, after he accepted what he had been made into. He had tried to hold another, after losing his wife... swearing that he would not turn her into what he had become. Even after explaining to her what he was, she chose to stay, to live her life, in love with a man who would never give her a child, a man that would not be able to see her unless the rooms of their home were completely dark, a man that would watch her go to the gates of death with a smile on her lips, grateful of the life she lived with what many considered a monster. With the death of his second wife, he vowed never to watch another waste away while he remained eternal.
