Chap 68: So that was how, as I walked down the hill, letting the cold air soak through my bones, I began to think. I began to think over the changes that had happened to me. I had been unconfident, awkward, and out of place for a long while. Then I felt too powerful, with too much knowledge, burden, and responsibility. When I had figured out Mom’s betrayal at me, I was stunned, heartbroken. But somehow I found the strength to move on. As I recollected now, I barely had time to sulk. Then, as I entered through Hell, I began to feel the dangers that I held. And when I found out about Ember’s betrayal, and as I parried with Agatha’s attacks, I realized that I had become someone else entirely. I was no longer the same person who had been unconfident and awkward. I was now someone who was strong, capable, and determined. I had changed, and I was ready to face whatever challenges came my way. But I also realized the power of anger and revenge. It could give me the strength I needed. But if I let it take over, I risked turning into a monster. I had been through a lot in a short period of time, but I had come out stronger on the other side. When Mom had welcomed me to the other side, she hadn’t realized exactly what other side I had entered. I had learned to trust my own instincts and to rely on myself. I had also learned that even when things are tough, you can always find the strength to keep going. I was ready for whatever the future held. And I was ready for the coming storm.

Chapter 69: And then I reached the valley. The Moonrise army was made up of people from different ages, using different weapons. But they were all equally exhausted. The Frosters had apparently gone up from behind them, forcing half of them to turn around and counter, while the Pyrokinetics had come from in front, therefore keeping half focused on them. Divide and conquer. I wasn’t entirely sure that the Frosters and Pyrokinetics were working together on this philosophy. But it was working. I could see the fear and desperation in the eyes of the Moonrise soldiers. They knew that they were losing, and they were fighting for their lives. I could also see the determination in the eyes of the Frosters and Pyrokinetics. They knew that they were winning, and they were going to take no prisoners. It was quite obvious that they had been waiting a long time for this victory. And then I went forward with North Star. And I wreaked havoc on the Pyrokinetics.
