As I look out over my burning city, I can’t help but wonder- could we truly have prevented this? Could we have returned to that beautiful, bright paradise I once loved so dearly? Could I..have prevented this if I had just given them my tome? Could we…have gone back if I had taken a side? Could we have returned to that beautiful, bright paradise I loved so much.
Blue skies you could drown in, lands that stretched on forever, friends that I lived and loved with, a husband and son whom I would have given anything to protect. My paradise, my home. Could I have stopped this if I had taken sides with the Convocation? With Venat? Could I have saved us, could we have returned to paradise?
But, is paradise worth it at the cost of all these lives who deserve their chance at life. I turned my back on my husband, on my friends, I left, fled, ran away and now, I look across my burning city and wonder- could I have stopped all of this?
