Thoughts on Erik

Despite the odd similarities between Torel's relationship with Alyra, and mine with Erik, Erik has always been kind to me, and despite the initial fear I experienced when I first encountered him, I have never felt any such thing since. Despite that, our relationship has always been incredibly volatile.

The problem is that Erik likes to pretend to be the Phantom of the Opera. I don't know why. Personally, I think he needs a whole lot of couch time.... and this from a girl claiming to have been an immortal vampire from an alternate dimension in her previous life. This, in and of itself, would not really be so much of a problem. I'm sure lots of spirits who pretend to be the phantom, lots of spirit guides, more specifically. No, what irks me is that he pretends to be the phantom for a lot of people, young women specifically. He orchestrates them for orgies and passes himself off as a god, or highly enlightened spirit. I know, because I have heard the stories from real, physical people.

He does no such thing for my benefit, but in the presence of other women, unless I am channeling him, denies that he knows me, or that there is any particularly special connection between us. He does this so that he can pretend he has been horribly rejected by the one woman he loves most, and uses this sympathy to get sex, so that he can psi-vamp off of his victims. It's really not a pretty picture. If you think you've met "Erik", you probably have. His the number of his prey ranks somewhere in the hundreds, possibly even thousands. If you are feeding him; don't. So long as this cycle continues, he is going to be miserable. His hunger will never be satiated, and it will only make you sick. You are NOT Christine Daae, I assure you. I know he's charming, yes, I know he's persuasive, and the puppy dog eyes are excruciating, but DON'T FALL FOR IT!

All right, so 2,000 pesos isn't much, but hey, I'm a poor college student, and he REALLY deserves to get his ass hauled in. In case you were wondering, yes, I put the amount in pesos to make it sound like more.

That having been said, yes, I was married to this scamp twice as Ellanna. The first Ghost Erik was the handsome Spanish noble that Juan killed, and the second was a person that remains a great mystery to me. The latter is Erik VonClause, a very wealthy Opera patron from a very distinguished Austrian family. Coincidentally, this latter Erik was also a vampire. This may explain why Ghost Erik is such a rampant psi-vamp. Strangely, despite the fact that all of my mind mates and I call him "Erik", it's the furthest thing from actually being his name. His other names are Keol, Kaeros, and Diego. I am not feeling so cruel as to post his soul name on the web.
