The world has grown cold and hateful my child and that is why you must go, I would go myself if the gods permitted it, but the balance was decided upon eons ago. You may never read this letter as I’m writing it while you fall to the land below.
My daughter, you think yourself worthless, you think yourself weak, but I assure you, you are far more special than you have ever given yourself credit for, and you will find greatness. As the sky turns to fire and the world falls apart around these people you will find a light, you will find yourself with companions you have never had, and you will value them more than anything you have ever known.
The legions of the damned cast their gaze upon the lands you are descending upon, unimaginable horrors that do not sleep or eat, they want only death and corruption. They will snub out the lives of every living being if left unchecked and unopposed, and you may be misjudged as one of them. They may call you a witch or a monster before they trust you, and that is why you have been chosen, only the most patient and kind of my daughters will have a chance to do what needs to be done to heal the earth.
There is a man long forgotten in a city you must find, a monster killer of thousands, a man we need to stave off the evil that descends upon this world.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Wow! This is honestly so beautiful Brier.✨ I love how it reassures her of her strength, even when she might not see it herself. Her kindness and patience being what sets her apart is such a powerful touch. She’s got a tough road ahead, but knowing there’s light, friends, and a real purpose waiting for her makes it feel so hopeful.
