Some people have asked me recently why I have not attended the Lestat Balls last October and again last night.
I have been Pandora for several years, always traveling on the arms of my beautiful brother Armand and beloved Louis and Lestat. But for several different reasons I felt the need to take a break from my beloved New Orleans. I have not ‘gone to ground’ as our kind calls it. But simply decided to move on.
It is in my nature to distance myself of company from time to time, and our kind tend to run in very small circles. Perhaps confining at times. I have other avenues and places I am currently needed, and thus do not hesitate to go where The Universe takes me.
Pandora is and will forever be apart of me. I am honored she chose me as a mortal vessel to carry on her wisdom and spirit. And I still marvel at the sheer beauty in the immortal life.
I do still miss the nights of dancing, and the feel of such warm and vital people to share the night with. And it is such memories that I will forever hold in my heart along with other things most cherished.
To all those reading thank you for the years of wonder and companionship. I still believe as I told David many years ago that the finest thing under the sun and moon is the human spirit. Each one is unique, warm, and above all resilient. Stay strong, and keep fighting my beloved mortals, and if all else fails, cling to love when things are darkest, and you shall not stray for long.
