Many Pieces D. M. Whittington

Through the passage of time, and over thousands of miles, it would appear that even an Immortal is cursed to remember in vivid detail, her human misfortunes. They seem to have followed her, rabidly gnashing at her Vampiric heels. Eve, a once near exiled pariah of the village she inhabited, who knew nothing of happiness, nor perceived it as a possibility for herself, lived the dutiful life of a Celtic sister and daughter. Her unique beauty did little to mask the many peculiarities of her personality, and the particular capability she tried to hide. In a subservient society she refused to accept her place, and her yearning for love and a child seemed out of reach, until the moment an ominous mist enveloped the village, bringing with it a remarkable stranger, and a future filled with desire, immorality, and retribution. In a time and place littered with death, where so many feared what they did not understand-a place and time eventually swallowed by the harsh brutality of war, famine, and unrest- she lived on, seeking the dark offering from a being that would afford her the revenge she so craved. The days, months, and years pass, and she no longer ages- thanks to the gift of a mythical benefactor. Although, her ancient mind is plagued by the fragments of her past torments, follow, as she is transformed into something all together different. Just as she settles into the supposed monotony of Immortal life, there is the introduction of a peculiar human child. A child that becomes the very key to a past that she had toiled to forget, and a future littered with creatures she never knew existed. This child, and the wickedness she brings with her will force Eve to face a terror she may not survive. But, will her new gifts be enough to protect that which she could not, so long ago? And can she withstand the agony that goes hand in hand with reliving the memories she has been avoiding all these long years?"
