For centuries we've been at war. They used to rule us, but they were tyrants. They took and took and took till we could no longer stand it.
They said the things given to us by the gods were theirs. They were not.
Now we are at war. They call themselves the blessed, we call them demons. They walk among us one day, and the next they slaughter us.

He is their king and I am the queen of his enemies.
He is a terror.
He is a monster.
But I fell. And I will keep falling till the day I die. After all my mother warned me about free falling.
