Martin saw the Terebithia rise over the city behind him. He knew the sight should fill him with shock and awe, it should make him run for the hills, that is what a normal person would feel. Instead there was only one though on his mind when he saw the titan.Oh well. Gabriel hadn't said a word. Didn't matter, as long as he listened."Alight, I think we've walked far enough to have our privacy."Martin walked around Gabriel and stood in front of him so he could look the elder in the eye."I brought you here because I have a request. A selfish one, but one I hope you'll find interesting or at least entertaining enough for you to grant it."He paused to take a breath, soon all of his hard work would pay of. Here goes nothing.

"INteresting" Gabriel smiles down at the adventurous young soul. There were few who would walk up to him without invitation, and even fewer who would ask him for a request. And even among those few individuals, he knew for a fact the predominant request would be 'please stop killing my children/wife/friends/city.' It HAD been rather a long time since Gabriel had sired. "Are you sure you wish to take up the cloak of eternal life? I have lived for a long time, and it is not nearly as glorious as it might seem."
