Seagulls rising on thermals

I have come home, and it is almost like I never left. Almost. There are a thousand words I never spoke before now in my mind, and I don't know where they came from, but they lend me a power I never had before.

The power to go forth to battle the demons.

They always scared me before... but finally, they can do nothing to me. I have learned more about them than I knew before.

And they are not as powerful as they think they are.

I wish I was surprised, but I'm not. And I've never been gladder to be wrong.
