Summary
A thing only becomes a legend when it has become impossible to relate to.
Someone who conquers the known world; something that cannot be explained without turning it into something impossible.
One who stories congeal around until they are shadows, highlight a presence that is proud, all-seeing, larger-than-life.
Undefeated.That is the story of the Greatest of Hawks, the Terror of the Moors - the story that would be told to keep all others at bay, forever.

Summary
Everyone said he was so kind for coming over to their house during the grieving period;
Bringing food, cleaning up, just being present.
Politely, all of the family friends they'd had used it as their excuse not to do anything more.
And it wasn't much; he'd have done it for anyone. Their houses were right next door.
Of course, it wasn't like he cared about their loss -He only cared about the fact she'd be gone, soon.

Summary
(They'd tell me it's unhealthy, and wicked, and grotesque.
But I love you, so much I want to scream;
I love you, and will always love you.
I loved you before we met, and I will love you when my bones are bleached against the sun.
I love you. So let me love you, too.)A simple love story, in a world that does not abide love easily.
