$$ALEM WITCHTRIAL$$: this is a tale of a hero. he may not believe himself to be a hero, but oh, he is. at least to me.
Vamp: wtf no that's cute
$$ALEM WITCHTRIAL$$: he left under the cover of night with little on his back. he visited me briefly, quietly. we talked, but he refused to come inside. "it's night, and i must go quickly," he whispered. before i had a chance to respond, he had said his goodbye and took off into the dense forest.
$$ALEM WITCHTRIAL$$: he left a box on my window. inside the thin black box was a pen. a black fountain pen. the note, buried at the bottom, read "use this tool to build what i have destroyed."
$$ALEM WITCHTRIAL$$: i did not know his journey until it was long over.
$$ALEM WITCHTRIAL$$: now my own begins.
$$ALEM WITCHTRIAL$$: i will not let you down. i promise to build.
$$ALEM WITCHTRIAL$$: i promise to build what you have destroyed.
