“
There are two prisoners. One is the master of his cage. The other returns home without power. The sins of the fathers are visited upon the daughters here. And not here. New hero rises but can be felled by the golden arrow. The wolf among you has many faces. When time fractures, darkness overwhelms. But the greatest destroyer of all ... is love.
