That did it. I’d gone through a lot in the past few days. Everyone I met seemed to want a piece of me: djinn, magicians, humans... it made no difference.I’d been summoned, manhandled, shot at, captured, constricted, bossed about and generally taken for granted.

We grow up being told about great figures in our society, and as you get older you have to question the stories you’ve been told and decide if these great figures are indeed as great as you’ve been told Picture Quote #1
