Spiderlight

by Adrian Tchaikovsky

“The true source of pain is the soul’s agony when confronted with the imperfection of the world, and all physical pain is a mere reflection of that. There is no soul to a creature of Darkness. At its heart is only a vessel of black wickedness that festers, and seeks to spread its malignity to others. Your pity for this beast is admirable, and yet misplaced.”

“You set up a system of ‘us’ and ‘them’ and you wonder why it didn’t make people nice?”
