The marks were a beautiful burden.
At one time they represented the hope of the world, and it was an honor to carry them.
Now they are forgotten.
The people who bear them must do so in silence. It is a burden to protect everyone, but be so alone at the same time. There is much you must sacrifice if you carry them.
And Elle knows that better than anyone.

Mind Games ♟
They say envy's the best form of flattery. But in my world that is the greatest dreadful feeling ever. You wanna know why? Well because it drives you mad; it makes say and do crazy things. Crazy things like hurting yourself, blaming yourself for mistakes others made. But it's so satisfying to the ones that think they've won. No one really wins. But for the ones who aren't being admired, we pretend to be them, and we love it. And it's when we die that's when we matter, we're no longer tortured by the obsession.Complete
