--->'''Shendu''': You said love is about trusting one another, about being happy for another, that love is selfless, about giving up yourself for another person. I say you're wrong. I know all about love, Valerie. Love is not selfless: love is the most selfish emotion I've ever felt in my life. It makes me want to ''change'' anything, ''do'' anything, ''be'' anything – damn the consequences – just to keep you with me. I am utterly selfish in my want to have you near me, gluttonous in my hunger for your every piece of affection. You say it is about being happy through another's happiness, but I find love only makes me miserable when I realise just what you might think of me. Love makes me want to disembowel myself at the thought that I hurt you, that I scared you. I am ready to throw away everything I am, for the sake of hearing you say the words that, I realise now, I'm ''never going to hear''! And even when I acknowledge that love will only drive me mad, I still cling to it with everything I have, because at the same time, seeing you smile gives me sustenance in a way that nothing else has ever done. Love is dangerous because I suddenly realise I don't want to be without it – even though I'm starting to know it is beyond my reach.
--->'''Shendu''': When my mother lost her first mate… the pain, the loneliness she suddenly felt, it drove her almost mad. She was angry at humanity, angry at the world for taking away that which she loved with all her heart. When my father found her, he offered her a way to make the pain stop, for her to have her revenge. She agreed but she was loath to do so. My mother was forced to carry me and my siblings in her womb, one by one. And she brought us into the world in a fit of anguish. I don't know if she expected Typhon to help her with the brood he had promised would bring her all the vengeance she sought. In any case, he vanished after we were all born. Mother said his form could no longer hold him together, and he died. Alone she was left with us, eight pieces of evidence of her grief and violation. She made us for one purpose, and one purpose alone: to destroy. And that was what we did. She was our mother, we revered and feared her. When she sent us out into the world to destroy her enemies, we did that and more. We relished in being able to unleash our full potential, in bringing our mother what she desired. And yet… she abandoned us. Gone. Never to be seen again. You speak of me treating Drago less than favourably. But what am I supposed to show him when my own mother took that away from me? I have never known what you mortals call ''love''. I never knew why my mother did what she did. Though I will admit this is a rare case for me; in this instance, I do not desire power, Valerie.
