You come away disgusted with the weak, but content in the certainty you aren’t among them.”

“To lose everything, and remain apart,
darkness always round her, darkness in her heart!
To wander the world, without peace or cheer,
shadow ever pursuing, and escape nowhere!
Young girl, endure, evil takes its toll,
through it all you will emerge with naught, yet pure in soul.
And though shadow may threaten all that you hold dear,
it cannot possess you, nor the beauty that you bear…
At the end of your dark journey you still will feel the light;
out of shadows, a whole empire, kingdom beyond sight.”
