The flames that once engulfed me have become a part of my very soul,
They have the burning strength to walk away
And take back control.

I stand great and tall wearing the crown,
I now rule over all,
And my demons have no choice but to bow down.

I did not mean to offend you. I only meant to suggest…,”             “I do not care, you foolish girl! It wouldn’t matter if had offended me or not, I am still going to kill you! You’ve seen too much,” Tilliy’s secret lover bellowed in his dim voice. She had never seen him like this, so dark, so murderous.
