The Strange Case Of Dasyra Linath.

*A small letter arives upon the door’s of any known person within Dasyra’s life, from her dearest friends to her greatest enemies. The letter is a dark purple in tone, lined with a sleek silver ribben. A wax seal is holding the letter in place, its dark red colour sealing a large ‘D’ onto the paper.*

 

I must here speak by theory alone, saying not that which I know, but that which I suppose to be most probable. The evil side of my nature, to which I had now transferred the stamping efficacy, was less robust and less developed than the good which I had just deposed. Again, in the course of my life, which had been, after all, nine tenths a life of effort, virtue and control, it had been much less exercised and much less exhausted. And hence, as I think, it came about that Delilah was so much smaller, slighter and younger than Dasyra. Even as good shone upon the countenance of the one, evil was written broadly and plainly on the face of the other. Evil besides (which I must still believe to be the lethal side of man) had left on that body an imprint of deformity and decay. And yet when I looked upon that ugly idol in the glass, I was conscious of no repugnance, rather of a leap of welcome. This, too, was myself. It seemed natural and human. In my eyes it bore a livelier image of the spirit, it seemed more express and single, than the imperfect and divided countenance I had been hitherto accustomed to call mine. And in so far I was doubtless right. I have observed that when I wore the semblance of Delilah, none could come near to me at first without a visible misgiving of the flesh. This, as I take it, was because all human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Delilah, alone in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil.

 

 The pleasures which I made haste to seek in my personalitys were, as I have said, undignified; I would scarce use a harder term. But in the hands of Delilah, they soon began to turn toward the monstrous. When I would come back from these excursions, I was often plunged into a kind of wonder at my vicarious depravity. This familiar that I called out of my own soul, and sent forth alone to do his good pleasure, was a being inherently malign and villainous; her every act and thought centered on self; drinking pleasure with bestial avidity from any degree of torture to another; relentless like a women of stone. Dasyra stood at times aghast before the acts of Delilah; but the situation was apart from ordinary laws, and insidiously relaxed the grasp of conscience. It was Delilah, after all, and Delilah alone, that was guilty. Dasyral was no worse; she woke again to her good qualities seemingly unimpaired; she would even make haste, where it was possible, to undo the evil done by Delilah. And thus her conscience slumbered.

 

If you havent got the message so far dearest friends, enemies and those I hardly knew enough of. I, Dasyra Linath have been ill for quite some time. Fighting between the two personalities that fill my singular body. Life is far to difficult to stay where I am, a single moment of fear, anger or sadness causes myself to swap almost instantly. At first this confused me, scared me, but soon I discovered that what happened during these times I could not be accounted for, yet others would not believe such. The ability of mental magic has been a curse within a gift, alllowing me to figure out what happened during the blanks of Delilah’s realm, yet possibly one of the main causes behind this sudden gain of such an illness. So, I shall now venture outwards of the places I have lived for so very long.. I must go to a place where I am no threat to anybody other than myself, to a place in which I can save those I love so dearly.

This is, and isn't a leaving post within itself. I'm taking some time away from lord of the craft, for how long? Who knows, possible a week, month, a year or maybe never! I merely wished to tie up a few loose ends in character for many of the still active members of the community that may have had a close connection with my character.

 

For anybody interested within the reasoning behind my leaving, I shall respond as simply and as objective as possible. I joined the server back in March (Which for some may seem like hardly any time at all.) and when I joined, and stayed. I stayed for what the server represented back in March, not was Aegis etc. Personally, I liked the server what it was and the direction displeased me. Sure, I may seem slightly selfish wanting things that only few liked, but its my personal opinion of the matter. I'll always believe, in regards to any server, product or service, you can't sell a VCR to a modern day audience and expect results.
