Pain flashes in me. I fall to my knees. The rope burns and the guards were stabbing me left, right, and center. My vision starts to blur. I see madness. I see children and parents screaming. I see my creations reining chaos. This makes my heart burn. This makes me want to throw up.

What have I done? What have I caused? I realize this village like countless others are filled with innocent people. They are filled with innocent people. Mother, children, friends, and lovers. Why am I causing all this pain? I was one of them. I was one of those innocent people. Now look at me. I'm a monster. I'm a felony. 

This isn't right. I should not hurt my brother, my friends, and Rayla. I'm the one messing everything up. I'm the one that hurt our relationship. Rayla didn't mess anything up. I think I'm the one. I understand now. I am so sorry. Rayla. 

I break the rope and push the guards away. I have to fix this. I grip my staff. I blast my own vines. I pull the shadows back. I grip my wounds. The Queen of Duren looks at me.

"I know you can come to your senses." She said. 

I nod. Feathers cover me. I shoot into the sky.
