*determined* I didn’t come here to run. I came here to face what everyone else is too afraid to see.
The ruins whisper my failures… the shadows twist every fear I’ve tried to bury… but I will not break, because I am Azura Vesley. And I keep the darkness as my own.
*happy* Every step I take feels like the world is opening its arms, and for the first time, I know adventure is mine to embrace.

I may not have all the answers, but I swear this... whatever comes, we’ll face it together, and we’ll make it out alive.
One day, we’ll look back at this mess and laugh, because we’ll know we made it through together.
*panic* RUN, AZURA, RUN! Don’t look back. I’ll hold them off, just go!

You don’t have to figure it all out tonight. Rest, and tomorrow we’ll try again.

You think light will save you? It only makes your fear easier to see. Every flicker, every spark, it betrays you... showing me the cracks in your courage. And when the glow fades, all that remains is the dark… and me.

Azura and Kai… their light is a weakness, a crack in the silence I command. They must be erased, for only when they are gone will the shadows truly reign. And I will see to it myself.
The children… so fragile, so easily led into silence. I will take them, one by one, and bind their voices in shadow. When their laughter is gone, the world will finally know fear.

The world heals when we choose compassion over conquest. I’ve seen kingdoms rise and fall. Every time, it was kindness that endured. You may call me naïve. But I believe in the strength of gentleness. I believe in the power of listening. I believe in mending wounds. I believe in standing firm without raising a blade. If we forget that, then what are we fighting for?

They say I’m too ambitious. They say I’m too competitive. They say I’m too complicated. But I refuse to shrink myself to fit their comfort.
I want victories. I want passion. I want truth. And I will chase them, no matter who stands in my way.
*heartfelt* If that makes me dangerous, then let them be afraid. Because I am Selene.. and I will not be defined by anyone but myself
