To harm her or his family, will bring about a swift and punishing justice. Selenzy D'jai I'm called Selenzy D'jai, nothing more and nothing less. I was given over to the Hestians during the last days of the Roman Empire. Blood, darkness, and fire combined one moonless eve in my rebirth. As for my sire, I never knew his name. He was hunted down, and killed like a dog by unknown assailants as I underwent the transformation in the sewers of the Eternal City. Here among the waste of human society, the stench of raw sewage, and the shrill squeaks of rats, my mortal self died. As the centuries waged, marking the passage of time with war, famine, destruction, and rebirth, I found myself in the presence of a creature who would change the course my life. I owe much to the Shi'aarae Daughter. Life has granted me many blessings. The most revered treasure is that of my love, the Dominion of Time. Now, I have renounced my past to become ordained as a Priestess of the All Mother. Allondra The All Mother gave humanity the gift of life and abundance. This being represented by the shifting tides of the oceans, cycles of the moons, monthly menstrual cycles of womanhood. To watch over the world's sacred breath of life, a child was created. She was created when the world was still young. Star dust, the Songs of the Celestial Hosts, the highest emotions, and all the wondrous - mysterious things of the universe were gathered by the All Mother and nurtured within Her heart. These things took form within the All Mother Womb, the Heart of the Imaji. Thus, the Oracle of the Wylds was born. "You will assume the form a creature revered by humanity. Your kind will dwell among the daughters and sons of humanity and in their homes. Humanity will think it self superior to all other things created, but your kind will rule of over their lives. Some will regard you with contempt, because in your eyes and in your kind they will see the mirror image of the Divine. You will watch over their souls and guide them home whether to salvation or eternal damnation and oblivion. On your shoulders, my little one, you will bear the burden of this world I have created for my children: the mortal, the animal, the plant, the spirit, the natural and the supernatural, both good and evil....light and darkness, and the Divine." The young babe was lifted up towards the glowing light of the Imaji's heart."From the heart of our world you were forged. You are one with all of the Imaji. By many names you will be known. Among common folk, they shall call you Allondra. You will visit many worlds and serve as guide to those that need it." Thus, the woman child was ordained by the All Mother. The babe cried out, hungry for knowledge. The babe fed from the All Mother's breasts for several moons until all she needed to know flowed through the milk into her. Nursed on love and happiness, she dwelled in the Hall of Souls. Slumbering until the time came for her to guide and serve the Imaji. With each new cycle of awakening, she must restart the cycle of mastering the ways of mortal folk. Even though, on her shoulders rest the foundations and knowledge of countless ages, and the wisdom of the Imajian sages and deities, she will be innoncent reborn to the world with each cycle of awakening. The newly formed world after so many centries of war and bloodshed would breath with new life, the Oracle was called forth to protect this new home world. Her awakening and arrival ensured the continuation of this Realm. Allondra to many is just but a simple tiny Abyssinian kitten. However, she is more than just a cat. This form was granted as protection and as a special favor won from the All Mother. In the Imaji Realm all felines belong to the Goddess. Felines are revered throughout the Imaji as sacred mystical creatures. Allondra is still in a dream state not fully awaken to all the complex aspects that make up the Breathing Fire of the Imaji or its Heart. The Oracle, Kitten, and Maiden for now exist on different levels of awareness from each other. Each with its distinct personality, thrives on its own until the day of awakening. Her journey has just stared with various friends and guardians. Her mother watches over her, the All Mother in the newly avatar form. Lord Donatien Alphonse Francois de Sade On the Subject of Imagination "How delightful are the pleasures of the imagination! In those delectable moments, the whole world is ours; not a single creature resists us, we devastate the world, we repopulate it with new objects with in turn, we immolate. The means to every crime is ours, and we employ them all, we multiply the horror a hundrefold." On the Subject of Caprice "Never lose sight of the fact that all human felicity lies in man's imagination, and that he cannot think to attain it unless he heeds all his caprices. The most fortunate of persons is he who has the most means to satisfy his vagaries." On the Subject of Evil "Evil is a moral entity and nota created one, an eternal and not a perishable entity: it existed before the world; it constituted the monstrous, the exacrable being who was also to fashion such a hideous world. It will hence exist after the creatures which people this world." On the Subject of Happines "Happiness lies neither in vice nor in virtue; but in the manner we appreciate the one and the other, and the choice we make pursuant to our individual organization." On the Subject of Principles "Every principle is a judgement, every judgement the outcome of experience, and experience is only acquired by the excersice of the senses; whence it follows that religious principles bear upon nothing whatever and are not in the slightest innate. Ignorance and fear, you will repeat to them, ignorance and fear -- those are the twin bases of every religion." From "Philosophy in the Bedroom" "If the object who serve us feels ecstasy, they are much more often concerned with themselves than with us, and our own enjoyment is consequently impaired. The idea of seeing another person experience the same pleasure reduces one to a kind of equality which spoils the unutterable charms that came from despotims." "Any enjoyment is weakened when shared." "No kind of sensation is keener and more active than that of pain; its impressions are unmistakable." "Consider the problem from the point of view of evil, evil being almost always pleasure's true and major charm; consider, thus, the crime must appear greater when perpetrated upon a being of your identical sort than when inflicted upon one which is not, and this once established, the delight automatically doubles."

Warm brown eyes peered forth from the their stone set features, the hair resting on his lower shoulders. Those broad shoulders showed his athletic build well, over one shoulder. It trailed down, leaving a glimpse of that beatiful olive complexions on his skin. It rested on his mid-thigh, bouncing dangerously on the loinpiece beneath could be seen; obviously well endowed. He had an eye for art and a natural affection for beauty above all things. Due to his Greek heritage, he was very agile and lithe. Trailing down those broad thighs were sandals clinging to his feet. He belonged to the Matron Si'annae, and had her sign of possession hanging about his neck. He was her Greek Treasure.
