All else would scream and try to escape, But not you, my loyal snakeshead, not you, We raised you like a member of an extended family, Taught you reading, writing, arithemetic, Gave you scales to wear and weapons to master, Granted service to fill out your otherwise meaningless existence, He interrupted her. I live to serve you m'lady, no other vocation gives my pulse rhythm, You gave us the power to exceed mortal limits, sharpened our minds beyond, The scopes employed by lesser men cannot gaze upon what I have seen, Thanks to you... She sunk her fangs into his giving neck, he closed his eyes and wept, At the majesty of it all.
