It was a pivotal day, one that altered my existence in unforeseeable ways. In that very instant, time seemed to halt, and the only thing of consequence was the utterance that would pass from my lips. The words that were uttered immediately after have irrevocably transformed the trajectory of my entire being, forever changing the course of my existence in ways that I could never have fathomed or anticipated

"I'm lost and alone with no place to go. The people I cared about are gone, and I'm just wandering around with no direction. I feel like I don't matter and I'm just taking up space on this big planet."

After long and arduous months of harboring incessant thoughts, I finally mustered the courage to verbalize them. It was an overwhelming task to grapple with the compulsion to persist while being acutely cognizant of the exigency. Despite my unwavering determination to push through, I found myself in a predicament, unable to move forward. There was no driving force propelling me forward anymore, no sense of urgency that could compel me to press on. There was a nagging feeling of being stuck in a state of perpetual limbo, lacking any sense of direction or purpose.

The thought of trudging along the path that lay ahead seemed daunting, and my mind was besieged by feelings of despondency and inertia. It seemed like the end of the road held no promise, no reward, and no sense of gratification. There was no one waiting at the end of the finish line, no one eager to celebrate my arrival, which made the journey seem all the more futile.

"I see, am I interpreting your words correctly. Are you suggesting that you may be considering surrendering? Is it your intention to allow those who have placed you in this challenging situation to take pleasure in the fact that you are not taking any measures to overcome it?"

Her words were not just mere utterances, but they carried with them an air of knowingness that could only come from having experienced my very struggles. It was as if she had delved deep into the depths of my soul and extracted all the innermost fears and doubts that I had kept hidden from the world. Her gaze was fixed on me and me alone, and it felt as if she could see right through me, piercing through my defenses like a hot knife through butter. Her scarlet eyes seemed to possess an otherworldly quality, and they glimmered with an intense brilliance that left me feeling both captivated and unnerved.

She was a striking figure, adorned with flowing locks of raven black hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall of obsidian. Her robe was nothing short of magnificent, crafted from the finest silk and adorned with intricate embroidery and embellishments that would humble even the most regal of monarchs. As she spoke, her voice was like music to my ears, rich and melodious, yet tinged with a hint of mystery and intrigue. Every word she spoke seemed to carry a hidden meaning, a deeper truth that I could sense but not fully comprehend.

"At this precise moment, in the vast expanse of the universe, there exists a pivotal juncture that demands your attention. It is a critical crossroads that implores you to make a decision that will alter the course of your life forever. The question that confronts you is one of great magnitude and significance, for it determines whether you shall surrender to the unpredictable whims of fate and allow events to unfold without intervention or summon the courage and fortitude to seize fate by the reins, confront it head-on, and grasp onto the fleeting essence of life with all the strength that lies within you.

Little girl, this is not just any ordinary question that you can brush aside and continue on with your mundane existence. This is a choice that will define you as a person, and determine whether you will lead a life filled with mediocrity and resignation or take bold and decisive action to seek the justice and fulfillment that you rightfully deserve. Do you have the fortitude and resilience to stand up and take charge of your destiny? Will you allow fate to lead you down a path of misery and dissatisfaction, or will you summon the bravery and tenacity to break free from the chains that bind you and embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal empowerment?"

As the words spilled forth from her lips with an intensity that could only be born from genuine curiosity, a spark ignited within me. Her impassioned speech kindled a flame of determination and resilience that I had not felt in some time. Her words resonated deep within me, as if they were the missing piece of a puzzle that I had been trying to solve. Her encouragement to seek retribution against those who had robbed me of everything, to not simply accept defeat but to rise up and conquer my sorrow, was a call to arms that I could not ignore.

She could see the flames burning in my eyes, fueled by an unwavering sense of purpose. The determination within me was palpable, and she knew it. Her eyes locked onto mine, and as she observed the inferno burning within me, a sly grin crept across her face. It was almost as if she was looking into a mirror, seeing her own unbridled passion reflected back at her. And then, with renewed fervor in her voice, she declared, "Yes, that's it! Discover your inner strength, for it is the key to vanquishing the oppressors who have stolen everything from you. Fulfill your quest for happiness and never let anyone take it away from you. For it is only by seeking out your true strength that you can succeed in your endeavors."

Her hand outstretched towards me and Without hesitation, I reached out and firmly grasped her hand in mine, as if seeking guidance and reassurance in her touch. With a solemn expression etched onto her features, she spoke with a voice that seemed to carry the weight of wisdom and experience, imparting her final words of guidance to me. "When you have completed your mission," she said, her words carrying a sense of gravity and purpose, "Look for me. For I hold the key to unlocking the path towards true strength, and it is a journey that only the most courageous and determined can undertake."

In that very moment, time commenced its flow, and though I had not yet acquainted myself with Lyra, she remained in the very spot as before. The imposing figure from earlier stood in the same place, but his formidable presence now seemed organic, and in comparison to her majesty, he was nothing more than a mere "insect."

Without even turning my head to look back at the scene, I took my departure from the vicinity. I had no intention of lingering around any longer than necessary, and I strode purposefully away without a second thought. However, as fate would have it, the man who appeared to take issue with my swift exit attempted to block my path, his expression a mixture of anger and defiance.

Despite his efforts to obstruct my departure, I remained steadfast and refused to change my mind. Her Majesty responded by unsheathing her sword in a swift and decisive motion. The steel gleamed menacingly in the sunlight, and the man immediately backed away, realizing he was in danger. But it was too late to back down, as the sword, now in full swing, sliced through his body with a powerful force, severing him cleanly in two. The scene was gruesome, with blood and gore pouring out onto the ground around him as he collapsed, his lifeless body now divided into two separate pieces.

And so I set out on a difficult mission that would necessitate nothing less than an all-consuming focus on exacting vengeance, but my sights were set even higher. For my ultimate goal was not merely to exact some measure of vengeance, but to gain an invincible strength that would propel me beyond the ordinary and into the extraordinary. I remained steadfast in my resolve as the seconds turned to minutes, minutes to hours, and hours to days, my unwavering focus unbroken even as the months turned to years. Time only served to fuel my fire, igniting a flame within me that grew brighter with each passing day.

Throughout my arduous journey, I met a plethora of kindred spirits whose unwavering loyalty and unwavering dedication to my cause proved to be an invaluable asset. We traversed treacherous terrain, surmounted seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and faced seemingly unbeatable foes together, always propelled forward by an unwavering commitment to achieving our shared goals. Those same kindred spirits are still by my side to this day, their unwavering support serving as a constant source of strength and inspiration.

The momentous occasion of crossing paths with her Majesty, the ruler of the land, had finally arrived. I could sense an ineffable aura of authority emanating from her very being as I gazed upon her regal presence. It was at that point that I realized I had undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving into a truly superior being. She graciously and benevolently bestowed upon me the invaluable gift of her knowledge and skill in the art of swordsmanship, which I accepted with profound gratitude and reverence. I dedicated myself to the pursuit of mastery in this sacred craft from that point forward, devoting countless hours to relentless training and practice, constantly pushing the limits of my physical and mental faculties.

I could feel myself becoming stronger, faster, and more agile as the days turned into weeks and weeks into months, each passing moment bringing me closer to the pinnacle of my potential. My senses were sharpened, my reflexes were sharpened, and my intuition was sharpened to a razor's edge. I could feel the energy coursing through my body with each strike of my blade, giving me a sense of invincibility and unbreakable resolve.

As a result, I became a force to be reckoned with, a true master of the art of swordsmanship, a shining example of the human spirit's limitless potential. All thanks to Her Majesty's divine intervention, who saw fit to bless me with her wisdom and guidance, forever altering the course of my destiny and propelling me to greatness.
