A Gargoyle's Delight

For centuries I have suffered.

Solidified and silenced, all because I failed to destroy what I was created for.

Except now, after so long... There is a female.

One who always seems to be by my side.

Day after day.

Night after night.

She talks to me. Touches me. Tells me things. She shares stories of a world I no longer know. She is a reprieve from my punishment. A sweet delight. She liberates me from my solitude.

But when I rise, my adversary seizes his opportunity, and she's caught between us.

He only wants her to get to me.

She isn't his.

And I'll do anything to protect what's MINE.
