"The sound of the waves crashes in my mind.
i try and tell myself that the tears that fall against my scales is the spray on my face.
Im Free at last, but can i ever be free? I want to be free.
When i close my eyes in time with the waves, im back in the cell, a home, a reminder, hundreds of years of pain.

Was it all worth it?
The people i lost?
The things that i gave?
Was it all worth it?
The sacrifice i made?
The life that i forfeit?

My eyes open with a shuddering breath, the moment is gone as soon as it came.
The squawking of assaults my ears and i look to my sides to flex my wings.
Unsure of their strength, i walk the cliff, torn inside at the choice i must make.
To spread my wings, and fly, or stay grounded in the past.

Was it all worth it?
The love i lost?
The pain that i felt?
Was it all worth it?
The choices i made?
The future i forfeit?

A wave slaps the rocks and my choice is made, the sound of hoofs clattering on the rocks, the wind whips my mane.
I take a breath as i near the edge, staring at the waves as i dive down, faster and faster, my wings spread open to claw at the air.
Its time to reclaim the things that i lost, and the live i once gave." - Requiem Myre
