Grigori

It was here that we stand now. Solid and anchored to the Earth with an iron intensity that screamed to bust.  We were the only ones left, and there was nothing left to say. We had only wanted to see what they saw.  Feel what they felt.  And now there was nothing but the repulsive memory of our betrayal in their eyes.  I saw us for what we were; monstrous. Twisted, corrupt, and impossibly endless.  It was ingrained in what we chose.  There is no looking back, we can only go forward with this.  The realization settled like a stone in the pit of my soul. We would be the monsters they clung to in the dark.  We would be the enemy, violent and merciless.  We are what we have always been. Us, the children of our Father.

We are Grigori. We are the Watchers, and they will kneel.

So, I don't know much about the context behind this story, but from what I read the idea seems interesting. I loved the innocence of these creatures in the beginning, as they only wanted to share human experiences. The tone shift conveys the true nature of these beings as being malevolent rather than amiable. I could be wrong, but that's what I got from this. Great job!

Thanks so much for your review! I literally wrote this on a whim a few hours ago and I had no idea what it meant or the story behind it. So your guess is as good as mine! :)
