Proudly did I sit upon my throne, a seat forged from blood and bone.

My skin marred with evidence of war, I was scarred and bruised. I was wounded and battered but it was a war I would never lose.

The taste of blood on my lips, my fangs were sharpened by flesh. Eyes flashing with moonlight, a wolf howled inside my chest.
