Mako 1895 Carbine Claw

MAKO 1895 CARBINE CLAW. (See also, RIFLE, MAKO 1895 CARBINE) With all the traits of the original Mako 1895 Carbine, the Claw variation is a thorny field modification to construct. Bolting a blade to the rifle s lever needed a deft touch to avoid fracturing it, but it was useful enough to warrant the risk

Dearest Circe,

Would you still care to hear my plea?

I have allowed my mind to be fogged with a red, passionate mist. It has risen from a pit buried so deep in my soul's abyss that I had never thought to look down upon the cracks. When it shattered, I fell. Lo, did the fall make my heart sing as I dropped, sinking into the desires that awaited. Desires that I was powerless to resist.

And there you were. In that hidden sanctum was your shoulder, your scent, your hypnotic hands. In many, many moons I have not felt peace with my back turned, but the bumps along my neck have calmed with your presence, your partnership on the Hunt. In craving to preserve that peace, and to protect my desires, I preached many temptations that I twisted into truths

Our time was blissful, and I am fervently honest in saying my heart was full-beating harder than it ever has in terror. Yet it has been heavy too. As I heeded the yearnings of my flesh, the keening of my spirit has been dampened. Thus, I bear you no ill will, but for both our sakes I ask that, come what may, we refrain from tempting each other again.

Pray that I may be forgiven, but I will not burn for my heart's lie.
