In the dim light of the early morning a dark shadow emerged from the mist and headed towards the banks of the lake. It's pace was slow and, though it appeared effortless in the beginning, by a closer look one could see that the creature was walking more mechanically. As if exhausted to the point, where you had to tell your brain, how to put one foot after the other.
It drank greedily from the water very like a man, who has finally found the well in the desert, but in her case, her rather unhealthy appearance suggested a long-term disease. She stopped only once, looking first up and then down at her reflection in the water. One eye in the color of molten gold, one black looking back at her and then a humorless grin spread across her facial features. "I wondered, where have you been," she said quietly, her voice raspy from lack of use. A fit of cough followed right after and small droplets of blood splattered in the water.
"I am here, as you asked, what now?"
