The Dark One is spent from long hours of dueling with the demons that lurk in the shadows and attack her time after time without resolve…

….she sits and breathes in the cool night air, breathing to give life to her own heart……she has fought too hard for one day and needs the peace of her beloved harbor…..she aches with sorrow at the lies and delusion that the demons throw at her over and over…….knowing that she must hold on to hope and move to a life without such things within…..her only hope…….she holds on knowing they will come soon…….and she will be free to live again……a new start…….a new chance…and she must make it work……..and she will…with love and hope…….for she will not return to the lair of the past ever again……….
