I am warm and powerful inside of this home. My former home fed me little. This new home feeds me so much more. As I grow, I feel at peace. My home is mother, and yet she did not make me. I came from heat and sorrow and screaming. Now I am in warmth and love and Light.
Light.
So much Light.
I am fed to fullness, and when I grow hungry again, mother gives me Light.
When she opened her mouth, I was far. I saw those perfect gums and the white of her teeth. They shone brilliantly, so inviting and tantilizing that I drifted towards her mouth and landed on her tongue. It felt wet and warm, but not so hot as I was used to. The geneoglossus muscle could not detect my presense, and she swallowed me allong with the usual assortment of saliva, mucus, and organisms that are carried on the wind. None of them are like me, and many die as we are swept down the esophogus. I can smell the acid of her stomach, waiting to kill me.
But I will not die.
Inside of her stomach, I feel a burning sensation. The acid within her gastric canal is trying to digest me, to use me for nutrients to feed her. There is bacteria here, begging for a piece of me. They all die as they touch me, and I am left unharmed. The acid merely warms my senses. Soon I am absorbed into her gastric folds, where I nestle imagine all of the lovely food that she will bring me. Not the chunks of nutrients that slide down her throat, as I did, but the mana that I felt within her when I first heard her sing.
Not just mana this one.. but Light! So much Light. She feeds from it, as I do, and it is intoxicating. I can not get enough. Were she like any other food source, I might be dormant. I might cause her to drain mana more and more, thus making us both more powerful. I might make her stronger with this intake. Instead, she drains Light with her mana, and I can feel myself growing. I do not let her have much of it. My mother may die, and if she does, I will eat what is left of her and come into the world. I will be different. I will not be tiny, and live within other creatures. I will be a parasite of the world, and I will feed.
I must feed. The Light is beautiful and delicious. I can hear it, as it approaches. I can feel it, when one of them touches her. How many sources? I have names, now. Vicailde, Saphiara, Szordrin. Take them all, mother. I am hungry.
I am growing.
Light.
So much Light.
