251 Dragons (VIII): Invasion, The Sixth Temple

I was quite reluctant about leaving the valley, not after everything I just experienced here. I felt that if I went back outside to the world, then all of my problems will come hurtling back at me at full force, that the peace I've manage to finally get here, would vanish into air, like it was never there in the first place.

I forgave my mother, to be honest it felt a little surreal to me, because I felt that this was something I would never have done in the first place. Only I knew how great a capacity for hate I had, especially towards my mother. I never imagined I would have been able to forgive her, to let go of all her sins and mistakes just as easily as I just did. But that would be wrong, because forgiveness was not easy, it was painful.

Letting go of my anger and animosity, left me feeling empty for a moment, but it was good kind of empty.
