in Tougurac, “I awaken you,
Goddess of Air. Come into me.” She paused, took another deep breath
and began again, “I invoke you, Goddess of Air. Come into me. Give
me your strength, your ability and let me take flight. I invoke
you, I invoke you, I invoke you!” Eme’s voice boomed.
    Her body began to tingle
and quiver. She felt as though she weighed nothing, as though
gravity had no effect on her at all. Cool winds began to whip at
her body and her clothes rippled as though trying to free
themselves from her body. Cautiously Eme opened her eyes. To her
amazement she had indeed raised herself from the ground. She was at
least three hundred feet in the air, hovering above the canopy of
the rainforest. She began to laugh uncontrollably.
    Distracted by her joyous
amazement, she began to fall. Ten… twenty… one hundred feet... She
stopped laughing and began screaming. Eme hit the ground hard with
a loud thump. She lay there for a moment without moving, moaning.
Eme had heard her ankle snap on impact. An incessant throbbing and
stinging sensation surrounded her ankle as it slowly healed itself.
There was nothing she could do until her wounds had fully knit. She
was grateful that the rain had slowed to a drizzle as she lay on
the cool wet ground. As time passed Eme lay there and tried to
critique her flight attempt.
    “I float, but I don’t fly
forward. How the hell do I fly forward?” Eme exclaimed. The more
she thought and the longer she lay on the ground, the more
frustrated she became. The throbbing was the first to disappear and
once it began to tingle like pins and needles, she knew she was
healed enough to stand. She took a deep breath, slowly exhaled and
began to concentrate on taking to the air once more. Eme was going
to be heading towards the sun and wouldn’t have much time. She
would have to be quick.
    Placing herself in the
circle again, she began to chant in Tougurac to the Goddess
Arvento, “I awake you, Goddess of Air. Come into me! I invoke thee,
come into me! Give me your strength, your ability. Let me take to
flight. I invoke you, I invoke you, I invoke you!” Once more Eme
felt the tingling and the whipping of the cool air around her. This
time she held her concentration and once above the trees she began
to think only of ‘forward’. All of a sudden her body started to fly
forward. She then thought of where she wanted to be and in response
her body curved towards her desired destination.
     
     
     
     

Chapter 4
    (Deirdra - December 6,
1999)
     
    A quiet
rage filled me when I woke. I saw the man again, the creature
not-of–this-world. I may be undead, but I am of this world. I hadn’t been able
to physically see him, only sense his presence through the mortals
that passed by me. And through their minds, it was as though he
were using them to alert me of his presence. The first time I had
seen him, I was confounded. This man was more unnatural looking
than I, but was so angelic. His presence angered me, though it
brought me a strange sense of peace. All these emotions this
angelic man stirred inside me seemed so foreign to me. Since I had
no name or any means of identity for him, I instinctively referred
to him as Angel for my own sanity’s sake. This time he appeared to
me while I hunted in a local Goth club, Dark Wave Knights, on St.
Laurent and Des Pins. He had kept his distance from me, wavering in
and out of view. Just as I was about to make my way over to a young
man who I had picked to be my dinner, Angel’s voice boomed in my
head.
    “No !”
    I stopped mid-stride,
looked around the bar and saw no one of my kind. This confirmed it
was Angel that had entered my mind. I straightened my body and slid
away from the mortals making their way to the dance floor. Leaning
against the wall I began to speak to this being
silently.
    “Who are
you ? What do you
want of me ?” I asked him desperately,
looking around the club for him. No answer. I waited as long as my
patience allowed and
