I almost lost my life tonight. It is not the first time, and every near-death encounter I've experienced I've always bounced back with so much vigor and drive.
But this time, I almost felt.. Ready.
Why was this time different? Things are grim, sure, and I have lost a lot along the way. But things are also looking up. I have Lyrene by my side. My teammates are like family to me, one that I have been missing all my life. Surely, I cannot abandon them now? Especially when we are so close to figuring out what the Black Bonfire is really up to... And why.
Amidst the chaos at Lamp's Grace tonight, I might've bitten off more than I could chew. My snark will kill me one day. Is that funny? I think it is a bit funny.
When I fell, I remember Arlando's voice shouting for me amidst the blur snapping me back to consciousness, in risk of his own. He almost fell, too, tonight.
And while I don't really mind that my snark might kill me, I do mind that it might affect the ones close to me, as well.
I don't think that is funny.
Regardless, one more battle came and went. There is many more yet to come.
Will I stay quiet then?
