Greetings Sapience,
I have come to find myself now. My Father and I have grown together as
one once more. Through tough times I left his grasp, turning my back
away from him. I walked a long path of trying to find myself. I walked
around Sapience finding where I thought I was meant to be. Finding out
that I was only hiding the truth from myself, and my family. On this
day, my father and I came together with my son. For a meeting, talking
about things such as the dark sides calling for his father to have his
son by his side, and his Grandson to follow suite. Before these days I
never wished to look at my path and see if it was the right path or
wrong path. My father was persistent in what he wished me to do. So I
come to you this day to explain to you what has happened.
Xzato and I met up at the clouds, talking about different things like
normal. When I had seen my son wake up, in the town of Delos. So
reluctantly I took my father to meet his new Grandson, we sat around
talking about our paths like normal. I felt a funny feeling growing
inside me as I sat and talked to him, I had felt this feeling before but
this time not only was it stronger. It was taking over my body. We took
a stroll to outside of Delos, where I finally confessed to my father
that the shadows inside me were growing. He looked at me with
concentration asking me if I was ready. I looked at him and told him it
has gone on too long, I had turned my back on it all, and I was ready to
rise to the occasion. He told me what I needed and what was expected. I
nodded at him, knowing that it was time for me to take on the path that
was meant for me. Telling him what I had been feeling, about how the
shadows had grown inside me, ever since I had been searching for my true
path. My son glancing at me, noticing something. Micah said my soul
seemed pained, in which Xzato knew the answer to it that my realizations
are my strengths. So I knelt before my father, showing now regret to
what is happening. My father swung his staff into the Air, bringing it
down on both shoulders searing them with elemental Fire, bringing the
shadows fully out. At that point in time the Light from within me
receded from my body.
By my Fathers side once more,
