Revenge: it's a dream of flames fueled by scorched remains that are lit to a torch and brought back upon the one who burned you.
In the time we spend reeling in confusion, grasping at straws trying to piece our egos together, we forget to acknowledge some things. Society created gender roles and categorizations and lifestyles and names and titles because we fear the unknown, especially when the unknown is us.It__ as though we__e stranded in the middle of an ocean, but we were promised the current would bring us back ashore. We__e given all we need on the life raft. As far as we can see, we__e being led back, slowly. We don__ know when we__l approach the shore, but all evidence points to the fact that we will. But we don__ spend our time looking around, enjoying the view, seeing who came with us, and riding out the waves. We sit and panic about what we__e doing and why we came here.It doesn__ matter where we started because we may never know. It matters where we__e going, because that, we do. We begin and we end. We__e seen one, so there__ only one other option.

As Roran watched, the man's arms, neck, and chest shriveled, and his bones appeared in sharp relief-from the bowlike curve of his collarbones to the hollow saddle of his hips, where his stomach hung like an empty waterskin. His lips puckered and drew back farther than they were intended to over his yellow teeth, baring them in a grisly snarl, while his eyeballs deflated as if they were engorged ticks being squished empty of blood, and the surrounding flesh sank inward.
