tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was born that he possessed powerful and strange abilities, he was stronger than the rest and grew stronger quite fast as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike our humble race that was not true giants and could only get up to 2 meters, he grew bigger and bigger…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He keeps growing, and quickly outgrowth the children that were born near his birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He became so big that he didn't have anywhere to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was strong and with his strength and size, he protected the tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that ended quite soon, as he was betrayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faction of our tribe hated him for being different, for having a different skin color, for being enormous and stronger than anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ostracized him, but he often did not mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until that day that my father told me…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day that his mother, the one he held the dearest, was killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to his former gentleness, everyone always thought that he was timid and stupid, but that day is when everything changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was prideful of his power, it was more like… he became wrathful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He became a monster, awakened a power that shouldn't belong to a mortal, and massacred everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day that his only emotional pilar faded before his eyes were when Vretrion showed the true monster he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I don't blame it, if I were in his situation, I would do the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is why… there's this strange feeling of both hate and understanding that Vretrion always gave to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I always felt strange fighting him… perhaps I doubted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep down I knew that it was the fault of our very tribe that he became like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he had taken so many innocent lives that had nothing to do with the death of his mother, we had to act…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he escaped when I was just a little baby, and came back when I was a little girl, with his children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all of them were giant like him, strong and monstrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a day, we lost everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My father grabbed me, and we ran away for our lives, my mother had gone to defend the tribe and died fighting…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father protected me and nurtured me ever since then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lived many years preparing for the day we would one day fight against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was, after all, my destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had become a paw of the Gods, and so did Vretrion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was a Heroine, and he was a Realm Menace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the threads of fate, we were destined to fight and kill each other in a decisive battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had no choice, I was not able to fight against my destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor I wanted to run away either, I didn't care whatever background he had, his people killed my mother, and that meant that I was going to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As simple as that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kill this, kill that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world is simple, it revolves all-around who kills the other first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I trained and fell in love with one of my tribes, we had children, many… I miss and remember each one of their names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pipke, Raban, Dala, Merecia, Tenerila, Ganalad…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These names were made through the language of our tribe, it meant many things, valiant, kind-hearted, brave, strong, perseverant, and more…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My precious babies…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about all of them being gone fills me with bitter sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope your souls are happy, whenever you are, my precious children…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rest at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your stupid and useless mother will finally get things done for once…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vretrion, I feel like I both pity you and hate you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my hate is stronger than my pity, so very stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am going to crush you until you scream in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will make you feel all the pain you caused to my tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I feel bad for what they did to your mother, but that doesn't mean I will forgive you for what you did to my family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are going to settle things down for once, you and me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I am not alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have built a family, have a daughter, and someone that loves me back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't ask for anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is enough for me to be happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you… You are that thing that keeps bothering me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just knowing that a bastard like you is still alive sickens me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How long have you lived?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are true quite the monster…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But don't worry… I am quite the monster as well. Oh yes, I have become an even worst monster, Vretrion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And like the monsters we are, we are going to fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I am not planning on losing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am going to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know I am going to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because I am not alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time we lost even as many, but this is different now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I bet you have become something of a God, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, I have also become a Demigoddess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am not the same as before, I said it before, and I will repeat it to myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am not the same as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rage fuels my heart, this calm anger that drives me to battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will show you this anger, this hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will make sure to make you recognize me as a threat and not as the ant you crushed back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vretrion, you will finally feel fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I promise that to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My dear old bastard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I open my eyes as my wife scratches my back, we were taking a bath… right…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brontes?
