Interrogation of The Bloodsinger, one of the right-hand men of The Blood Knight (June 2009)

Can you hear the music ? No ? A pity. No one ever does. But I suppose you are here for my tale eh? Very well..

I was born in the slums of London, in the year 1329 or thereabouts. I never knew my parents, but I can guess, as there were many whore-spawned brats in the city in those days and I suspect I shared their origins. In truth it matters little who my parents were. They are long since food for maggots and I am forever. I became a thief in my youth, not just to put food in my belly but also because I enjoyed it. I was good, damn good, but I was cocky with it. In time I stole from the wrong man, a nobleman of dark reputation and darker deed. His men caught me in a bawdy house, wasting my 'earnings' on ale and wenches. The thugs dragged me before their lord and then my suffering began. The nobleman enjoyed causing pain it seemed, and marveled at my ability to endure it and remain alive (I was a little surprised myself). Over the centuries I have come to understand the Art of Agony better than most, and so the nobles ministrations with retrospect seem clumsy at best, but at the time I knew only torment. After what seemed like forever my captors tired of their games and decided to do away with me. They covered my broken, bloodied body with pitch and set me aflame. Have you ever been burned alive? I found it a most liberating experience. Others I have spoken to, Eternals like myself, have told me that my mind must have cracked that night, that I had endured too much. But I remember the feeling of perfect clarity that swept over me. As my skin cracked and flesh melted I felt strong. My blackened corpse rose from the floor of his manse like a phoenix of nightmare and struck down the noble with his own sword fallen from terrified fingers. If I close my eyes I can still remember the song in my heart as I cut him to pieces. My tormentor lay dead before me, and the blood song quieted. It absence seemed to pain me more than anything I had endured. I had to hear the music again! I sang as I butchered the noble's servants and I laughed as I turned his family to offal. Then I left that place, the music still playing in my soul, and began my symphony through time.

The other Eternals I have met, those that can stand my company, call me a madman, for they do not know my name.

I am the Bloodsinger.
