Let me tell you a little a bit about my nature. I find a potential lover, and I seek to bear that person's child. You may expect that since undines are invariably female, I may only seek men, but there are ways around that. Once I have decided on such a person, it will end in one of three ways: the birth of our child, my destruction or their destruction. I don't know how the first of those options goes, but I've seen the other two plenty of times.

But the Chasm God egged me on today as I swallowed a little globule of fire and air. Those two elements counteract my essentially passive nature and spur me into action. I dressed myself in clothes that bore the ever-shifting shadows of thunderheads. I relaxed into myself and discovered that no matter what standards I may choose to judge myself by, I was most content and serene doing what I was made to do. I discovered tiny fish beginning to stream up the streets, and by evening the streets were flooded with a river of fish. I took this as a sign that I had made the right choice. An attractive man approached me as I watched the river of fish flow past, and while I could feel the desire begin to swirl inside me, I kept cool and stared past him. "No, you may not choose me," I thought. "If it suits me, I choose you."

Today's song is "She-Devils of the Deep" by the Future Bible Heroes.
