Every glance, every touch, every whisper between us has been a pebble added to the scales, tipping me toward a new direction. 
Smoky, if there's one thing I am, it's adaptable. 
And once I am free to run, not even the shadows of the past will be able to catch me. 
Wishes are born in the will of men and women, and it is the true and pure source of power all humans hold.
