Entry 1018: Definition Of A Badass

Dear Kyle,

---

I'm nervous.

I can imagine the role I've yearned to become.

All I'm lacking is the confidence to strive forward.

I shouldn't though.

Yael and Falcon support me.

Athena, Zen, and Lilith support me.

Killian supports me.

I have the pillars of encouragement all around me, I just need to take the initial steps to become what I'd aspired to achieve.

I can't back down.

There's no way I can give up on this new me.

Will the repetition in my mind make things easier?

Or will I have to leap right into this new world and pray I don't fall?

We're heading to the city...

Today, I'm gonna get a glimpse of Alpha's world.

It won't be butterflies and rainbows...

and frankly, I never expected it to be.

I want a taste of the wrong in this world, but instead of being the victim of circumstance,

I want to be the executor.

That may not happen during this trip, and I don't expect it to.

However, I'll humbly observe the city that carries no mercy for the weak.

Most importantly...

I'll acknowledge that I'm returning from where I'd escaped.

Returning to the dark depths of my nightmares.

Only this time around...

I'm no one's prisoner.

I am Gwenivere Monarch of Outcast Hollows Pack.

Let them hear me howl.
