Peculiar physical body

Everette.

Being in a physical body is always peculiar. It feels like having something on top of me, I can never fully understand the sensation or get used to it. Arriving in the mortal realm is, as always, something insufferable. I breathe in their desires, their macabre thoughts, most of them repressed.

I begin to feel the stabbing pain in my chest, it is mild but I am aware that it will be persistent and will worsen with time. These are the moments when I most despise the effects of the brand. The permanent dependence on another being makes me feel totally incompetent and weak. Somehow I always manage to reproach myself for this, I feel that if I were powerful enough the mark would have no effect other than to connect me to Aisha, not limit me without her.
