Ryker pyr Docro - The Runt

[Milly]

“Why’d you do it?” they keep asking.

They don’t get it and they never will.

Glade and Amelia’s work on that whisper in my mind did wonders but

it was always there, in the back of it. It never left.

It haunted me in my waking moments.

It haunted me in my nightmares.

It haunted me in my dreams.

So I did everything in my power to see it come to life.

I crossed through unknown depths to pave the way for others

to enter Alabastre’s secret depths.

I nearly drowned for my goal

I protected my daughter and took the hit for her instead.

I watched her die in the name of progress.

But I completed the recipe and I

got my hands on the flower needed

I drank it and I felt youth return to me.

But it wasn’t enough.

They don’t get it.

Never will.

I’ve seen things ordinary men have only dreamed of.

I’ve seen a world created entirely on it’s own.

I’ve seen figments of the past and fought them.

How many can say they’ve fought against

a Demi-Angel?

A Primordial?

And lived?

Hopefully more, soon.

For I still have faith in humanity as a whole

to surpass that which came before.

That’s how life goes, right?

I did it so I wouldn’t have to listen

to those whispers.

So I could watch over not just

them -

but the family as well.

Forever.

Plus?

I’ve always done it

for her.
