they will be the death of me

by Blossom Of the Hidden Oasis

i cannot begin to comprehend the absolute madness of this city to have immense power and still allow people to suffer

how is it that so many people are now dead when the most corrupted are left unscathed and still in charge????

in Bandar, the slums were the only home i ever knew, and no one gave a single shit about us, but i am also fairly certain they did not have such power at their disposal. . .or at least they never flaunted it the way Vulcrom does with flying buildings and the like. it was cramped and awful where we fought for each scrap of survival until Caleb showed us how we could band together, how we could be better

Vulcrom needs a Caleb

someone who is kind and warm at all time, who knows how to inspire others to greatness, who makes you feel that no matter how poorly you are able to form words, you are still heard and that you matter

. . .i have regretted not going with him every day since he left

but then again. . .if i had, i would not have met Grim and Sanna and Sparkos

i would never have met Enrora and Meryll and Astris

i would not have these people who, for good or ill, have taught me one thing or another

and i care greatly for them

even Enrora who i am still not certain would not kill us all on the spot

but she is Meryll's sister. . . so perhaps there is something to be said there

i want them to be safe

i want to protect them

but i am only one person, i only have what i can do with my hands alone

i am not very learned, i am not divinely blessed, i have nothing other than myseldf

i . . . i cannot protect them all the time

and that terrifies me

i am so scared that nothing i do will ever be enough and that i will lose them the way that i lost Sanna and i -

i am not strong enough for this

. . .

so

i suppose

this means that

perhaps

i must get stronger

is that what you did Caleb? get stronger? you made it seem effortless but maybe you had to work very hard?

all right

fine

i will do this

for them, to protect them
