Planet Eater
A cool breeze resonates upon my brow as a gust of spirits disguised as the wind bless me with cool from the heat upon my balcony.
Eleven foot silk drapes dance to the "wind spirit's" rhythmic ensemble and adds a reverence filled with majesty.
I sip rare nectar from rare crystal imported from a place and time I cannot name nor fathom.
I splurge upon my domain as an animal dominant to my planes safe from the rains but incognito for what's in a name if I care not to ration?
I am looked upon as many unpleasantries for I take what pleases me. Untouchable, irresistible, indomitable, irreplaceable, and undeniably free.
