My son has returned! The moment I lifted my staff, brought it down on
both of his shoulders, searing his tender skin, I saw no fear in his
eyes. That was my test! Would he flinch? Would he cringe in pain? The
answer was no! He knelt in front of me in the shadows, surrounded by
ruins without an inch of movement. Strength has been achieved, fear has
been banished.

Micah, your time will come, your path is chosen, and your destiny calls
you beside me.
