And they all lived happily ever after... Yes, yes I'm sure we've all heard that story before but, do they all really live happily? I mean... how come we don't get to live happily ever after? Well that doesn't seem like a so called happy ending to me. Why is it that we are never told in stories what happens to the villain after they have been defeated or why they took that dark and twisted path that led to nothing but destruction? Maybe the good guys just aren't really who we think they are. I'm sure those are just a few of the many questions. You see I wasn't always this way, I was born just as righteous as anyone else, yet life took its tragic turns. But, perhaps you might get a better understanding once I tell you my story. So, would you like to hear it? Well then, let me take you back to where it all began...
