there are two sides to every story as there are two faces to every coin. he who refused to perceive what they see falls, and he who seeks the hidden face will always rise, this is the truth of life.
I know that it's a truth because this is my story.
"I assure you that the journey will be tough, "she said looking me straight in the eye, "and I won't lie to you, many a time you will quit."
she held out her hand a cupped my chin and at that time, I sensed her essence. strength oozed from her in waves as did power.
she was me, just older, but I could see they had brocken something inside her, I saw the hidden scars behind the tough facade. what had they done to her?
"you are strong,"she said with the same reverance "stronger than all of them, and that will be your saving grace"
then she smiled, a sad smile at that but in that smile, I saw her for who she was, who I would be. then in one fluid motion she took a step back into the portal.
she had defied the great wizard. I would defy the great wizard.
