POWER. MONEY. VENGENCE. LOVE.

Four things' men lived for, fought for and were lost at.

How much did someone fight for 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 until they realized the destruction, they had left behind for it? How long did someone lust after 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑦 before they realized how worthless it was? How long did someone seek for 𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 only for them to realize just how lost they were? How long did someone protect their 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 for it to turn into a lie?

And that's why Meliana asked herself.

How long will she hide from her demons? How long till they caught up to her?

𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈.

An agitative voice in her head would tell her.

But was she really running? Did she really wanted to run?

Or did she wanted the darkness from her past to completely swallow her into nothingness? She wasn't sure.

Not when a sun summoner was at loose and the Ketterdam's crows were being sent to bring a living saint to the land of greed.

She knew then, she had to finally face her darkness and let it consume her.

BUT EVEN IF IT MENT LOOSING HER HEART ?
