I wasn't living a life that I wanted. I was never supposed to be so deep in the forest that day. I was never supposed to have these amethyst eyes. I was never supposed to have this golden line running down my face.

I always felt my life would be staying close to home, and perhaps becoming a scholar. But the world had other plans for me, and I didn't like it one bit. Paving a new path, a new destiny even, seemed like the only thing left to do.

I've uncovered more than I could have ever hoped for. I had been living a lie. Many lies. The first clue was myself, even though I didn't realize it for a while. From there, I don't think I could describe it as going uphill or down. But that's why I'm here, to explain from the beginning. But I should tell you that I have yet to see an ending. And it's still far from showing its face, happy or not.
