Preface
It's amazing; how big the world can appear at one moment and how small it can feel the next. Still, no matter how big or small a world can become, there's always the constant struggle of finding your place in those vast seas of people that inhabit it.
And when your loved ones are in danger- in a way that they have been, time and time again- it would seem imperative that you find that place… The place you always belonged in, for who you are and what you were meant to be. That way, you would know how to face such danger and maybe what benefits could come from your help in a fight.
But what if you didn't know where you belonged? What if you couldn't find that one place where you fit in? What if the loved ones who surround you suffer because of it?
When I first entered this world, the state of my being was questioned; was I an abomination or another new and rare creature? I was certainly no abomination, but now I couldn't help but ponder whether or not my being could possibly save my family at this point.
As we stood there at the crossroads- one being where our enemies stood, advancing on us; the other, a short cut to where the life of another loved one was on the line- trust was something we were running short of… In each other's actions, as well as our own; our patience was being tested. Though, if someone you knew and cared about was in deep trouble, you'd probably be impatient too.
However, I still couldn't shake the feeling that it was my fault we were in this kind of situation again. That death was staring us in the face once more because of me. And as seconds began to feel like hours, while we stood there waiting, I continued to wonder if knowing my place in this world could help us now.
It's amazing; how knowing or not knowing your place could make such a difference. It's absolutely amazing…
