It took me three betrayals to finally understand: The world is just an elaborate tapestry of lies. The first to betray me was a god, my creator...my mother. Valuing strength above all, she saw no worth in me, and I was discarded. The second to betray me was a human, my family, my friend. Consumed by fear, he saw me as an abomination. The third was one just like me. A hope for the future, a fledgling barely out of the nest. Powerless before his mortality, he broke his promise to me.
