A slave is a slave. Like vampires, they traded away their [i]freedom[/i] in return for immortality. But that life is dedicated solely to destroying enough things to feed that worm’s insatiable appetite. Otherwise the Worm destroys them. In vampire literature, very ancient vampires sometimes become so bored and in such pain from their endless, pointless existence that they commit suicide.... ....by deliberately walking out into the sunlight. Power always comes at a price, and if someone is willing to SELL it to you, it is NEVER a bargain. The bait ALWAYS has a hook in it....and the time you feel the pain of it being set in your flesh...it’s usually too late. You can’t con an honest man.
