It starts with a whisper in my head. A taunting, silvery whisper of, You can never escape. You're trapped here forever. There is no getting out of this place.

I look around, and my eyes are greeted with the same sights I have seen since I first opened my eyes. Four simple, gray stone walls, crumbling around the edges but still holding each other up somehow, surround me. I'm sitting on a lumpy mattress covered in a single, thin blanket, so old that I can't even remember what color it was originally. A lamp sits alone in the far right corner, and a bookshelf with only five books rests in the far left one. Between them is a heavy wooden door made of wood so dark it is almost black. For iron bars rest in the upper center of the door, my only way to view something outside my room. Nothing of interest is out there, though, just more stone floors and walls.

A small, tarnished handheld mirror sits beside me, and I pick it up to study myself. This is one of the few forms of entertainment that I am allowed. I stare into my ever-changing, ice-blue eyes before moving on to my nose, which is small and neither round nor pointed. My pale pink lips are pursed in my never-moving neutral expression. Lifting a hand to my head, I run my fingers through my long, thick, rose-gold hair. When my gaze moves back to my eyes, the voice starts again, You're never getting rid of me. I am always with you. I will never leave you, just as you will never leave this place.

As it speaks, I realize that I'm not the only one trapped in a place forever, never to leave. The voice inside my head is trapped as much as – if not more so than – I am. We have been here forever, and we are here to stay.

We are the voices that whisper in your ear when the wind whistles through. We are the tears that fall with the rain. We are the dances that fall to the ground in the snow. We are the hammers that beat on your skin in the heat. Man has no power over us. They cannot erase us. We have been here forever, and we are here to stay.

Nothing but the Creator surpasses me. I control you. Oh yes, it's true. You cannot deny the truth any more than I can. To be honest, I'm sick of all of you. Taking up my life - your lives - with meaningless riff-raff. Don't you understand?! I'm trying to help you. But NO! Mortals are greater, mortals are more powerful than me. Of course, for humanity must control everything, and in control there is fear, and terror, and chaos.

You can see me everywhere. No, that's what you think. I can see YOU everywhere. From the day you were born until the day that you are destined to take your last breath. I am with you. Neverending, neverstopping, neverslowing, always.

I was. I am. I will be.

Dallion arrives. I turn to him, a smile frosting my lips. He takes me in his arms and I fall for him. I'm not allowed to, but we have a lot in common. We both stop people from getting what they want.

"Tal," he murmurs in my ear. I reach my arm up and outline his lips with my finger.

"Dallion," I reply. I make sure to let my lips brush his ear, and to breath softly as I pull away.

Dal smirks. "You're dirty."

"Who, me?" I laugh.

He knows I'm playing. "Shall we get to work?"

"We shall," I insist.

Time. Death. Quite a pairing we make. We've been here forever, and we are here to stay.
