TO DENY A LUNA
Lilith had stood among us, her eyes shining, watching us with a pride so fierce it was almost maternal.
“We really did it,” she said softly.
We nodded, grins tugging at our weary faces.
“And from now on,” she added with a laugh, “when someone tells you it cannot be done, you tell them this: you’ll never do it.”
Her words had hung in the air, daring us to believe.
And together, with tired voices but unbreakable spirits, we answered, “Watch us.”
Her face had glowed with pride that night, her voice steady and certain as she told us that we would show the world exactly what rogues were capable of. The memory clings to me like a lantern in the dark, its light guiding me through my lowest hours.
