Isneered at the disgusting people around me.
I didn’t want to be here. I hated it here.
Unfortunately, this was my punishment. Whether or not I’d earned it? That was debatable.
I cracked my neck as I glanced around this new campus. It looked just like all the others.
PolyTech University.
The mascot was a gryphon, but it looked puny against the PTU shield. I chuckled at the thought that any gryphon could hope to go up against me… and win. I’d had gryphons for breakfast more times than I could count. Not that any of these red and white babies could possibly pass for the real thing.
I was sure this would be just like all of the other colleges. Full of stupid young people determined to either drink themselves to death or study themselves brain dead.
Partying could be fun. And I did enjoy fun. But if you had no other ambitions, then you were beneath my acknowledgement. I also had no qualms about gaining knowledge and immersing yourself in your education. After all, you never find stupid people in charge–at least not for long.
You can however, find smart people doing stupid things. Hence my current predicament.
If only my love would have paid more attention to me, then I would not have sought out comfort in the arms of another. Of course he couldn’t be punished–stupid fucking falcon–so my love took out his wrath on me instead. I didn’t blame him though. His vengeance was one of the many things I loved about him. And yes, I did still love him. So very deeply.
So what would I do now?
Well, I had been playing nice for quite some time. A millennia, really. Maybe that should come to an end. I wanted to have some of my own fun. My personal brand. If being good wouldn't get my love to notice me, then maybe a little havoc would. That
thought alone had my nipples peak to attention. Mmmm… Havoc.
I watched the tidy, little students walking around the neat, little campus and smiled to myself. Yes, this place could certainly go for a little disarray. Just a little… chaos.
I inhaled deeply and smelled the uniqueness pungent in the air, and my smile grew. What a delicious twist that would be.
Oh yes, this was the perfect place for me to be right now.
I shifted my foot slightly and tripped a student walking past. When they hit the ground with a thud, pure glee washed across my face and through my veins.
What could I say?
I was the Eater of Hearts. Devourer of the Dead. The Swallower. And I thrived in the chaos.
