Spark
I am a Catalyst.
The Spark, the lore calls me.
The problem with being a Spark is two-fold.
Monsters are drawn to me. And I’ve known so many of them that I find myself unable to be intrigued by any normal, human, male.
I’m only drawn to those dangerous breeds now, like a moth to flame, how much can I really resist their primal aggression?
You’d think that with as long as I’ve been the Spark, I’d have learned how to recognize each creature. But there are so many, I don’t know where to begin.
Every male creature lusts for me. And I for some of them. One in particular.
The worst among them.
The trick I face now is in trying not to attract every unholy thing I come across. And when I do, in identifying which just want to possess me, and which might actually kill me. Or lock me away forever.
So far, I’m clearly failing.
On both accounts.
