Corrine’s eyes followed silently in the automatons wake, watching the perfectly synchronised grace of her swaying hips, as she stepped through the rift that pulsed softly around her… feathering her feminine form with a soft green glow as the displaced silicate molecules gently bounced against her until she stepped from the disrupted fissure and into the haze of the shadowed corridor beyond…<br/><br/>The psychic vampire followed slowly, feeling the wall begin to coalesce around her with each step… her eyes fixed on the graceful machine... but, she had long since stopped thinking of Elohim as a machine, the maiden held within a purity the like of which Corrine had never encountered in any other ‘living’ thing... something she embraced, even… craved.<br/><br/><em> “You Are beautiful.” </em><br/><br/>Those words still echoed in her thoughts as each step met the flowing tide of history laced within the stone… she couldn’t wrest the innocence of her soft mechanised voice from her thoughts, but neither did she wish too...  She stepped into the corridor and felt the rock pull around her like oil as it slowly regained its structure… there was a faint echo from within as the temporal eddies once more gripped the chamber and pulled it out of alignment with the universe.<br/><br/>Outside of the sanctuary of her chamber she could feel her blood quicken in her veins, the faint flicker of promise that came with impending taste of war.  Corrine drew to her side and watched the sensor array swiftly glide across her face, the tender blue shimmer gone from her eyes and replaced by a crimson inferno that pulsed and flared beneath…Her mind reached out across her, even with Elohim’s shift towards battle, her mind still pulsed with the dark peace of a neutron star.<br/><br/>The deepening shadows were split by the fracture in the air; it crackled and arced against the walls as a vibrant hum seemed to echo through the halls… Corrine’s eyes closed for a moment, she could feel her skin prickle as the energy build up increased, the energy spiral that arced around her forearm seemed to flare for a moment as it reacted to the presence and cast violent shadows across the wall.  The dark angel that laced her soul had sensed the time had come to drink from the well of humanity…<br/><br/>With a crackling flash the portal opened… the air graced with a effervescent vigour that flared as they both stepped through….<br/>
