Memento | Garrick Tavis

The first thing the dead stole from her was her eye.
The second was any chance of ever being seen as human again.

By the time the wound had physically closed, people no longer looked at Elara Kestrel as though she were a girl who had survived something entirely impossible. They looked at the pale scar that split her face, at the clouded eye that reminded them all of that night, and decided they already knew the rest of her story.

It was easier to believe she had come back wrong than to imagine anyone could walk away from death unchanged.

Because there are some scars that never truly seem to heal.
And some people, were never meant to survive what created them.
