Letter 4

---

𒅆𒊒𒍪𒅆,

Only after disaster can you truly separate the weak from the strong. The weak will spend their time in mourning, in solidarity, remembering what came before. Perhaps the strong may as well, but they quickly look to a new path forged forward.

Unfortunately, strength does not discriminate between good and evil. Those of evil strength use the chaos to further their ambition. Those of good strength try to carry the weak with them as they push onward.

Years ago, I did not believe those of evil strength existed. A naïve and emotional child I was. Yet, those of evil strength shine the brightest, and the true test is resisting their tainted light.

𒁾,

𒍪𒅆
