Destruction: Rebirth's requisite.
A call to battle.
Fire burst from her chest. At last. The birth of her dragon was imminent, and thus, the final moments of her life.
Swarms of battlemen around her. Ally, foe, all of them screaming, all of them fleeing blood and death.
Tears of terror, of agony, of desperate hope, she blinked away.
As her fire peeled the charred flesh from her bones, she erupted into a scream of base terror, and anguish, and exhilaration.
From her, a colossal dragon of scales and flame emerged. Its screech killed all sounds of battle. The creature's wings unfurled, and trembled, and she took flight.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
