I wasn't running from my past anymore, nor was I haunted by the ghosts of what had been; I was stepping boldly into a brilliant, self-made destiny where every single chapter was written on my own terms.

I pushed the doors open, ready to conquer a new day in a world I had helped redeem, knowing with absolute certainty that no matter what challenges lay ahead, I would always emerge victorious.
