“I viewed her as a mystery.
She certainly was one!”
Pratibha Malav, If Tomorrow Comes

Solange nicole
“It is hard to describe to you but I swear it was a fearsome sight. There were not eyes to speak of, but chasms that saw into its dark depths. A shade of a mouth full with phantom teeth. There seemed to be a skull shifting in and out of form beneath the black. Bound together by an unspeakable evil.”
Solange nicole, Slayers
