Cayn would laugh as he regarded her.  "Says the woman born as a human," Cayn said.  "You don't know the persecution of being different, Liz.  You've never had to encounter what it's like to be stared at because you look different.  You and Brian could be poster childs of normality as far as we go.  I have wings, black skin, fangs, and claws.  Do you think I'd be anything but an attraction amongst the humans?"  He'd shake his head, even as his hand took the bag that was given to them from the vendor.<br/><br/>"I am what I am.  A creature born in a wrong place and time.  It might have been different were I in another world, or born thousands of years ago.  But in today's time?  Society is dominated by technology.  Humans fear what they don't understand.  We frighten them because we prove they aren't the only things in existence.  People speak so fondly of aliens, but I guarantee you that if humans discover aliens, a terrible war will occur."
