Florence.
There was a time when I looked upon it as the best period of my being. It was all still new. The strength. The craving. The eternal life. I was carnal. And I was free. I could take what I wanted, but everyone was so willing to give that I never had to. The power then… back when I allowed it… There are moments when I wish I still could. I try not to dwell on them long.
But, in Florence, I found my superiority over what I once was. I learned how to dominate without brute force. I learned to be new. I learned to be commanding. I learned that I could have anything, do anything, to anyone, without punishment or remorse.
…lessons that it took me hundreds of years to forget…
