A/N: Okay, so I've been majorly procrastinating for the past two hours. I have to work all afternoon tomorrow, and my homework isn't finished. Might be a late one. :P Anyway. Okay, so I wasn't expecting to like this episode that much, mainly because of the events of last week, and idk, Elyan's not really one of my favorite characters. I actually watched, it, though, and I've completely changed my mind! It's not in my list of favorites, but it really was quite good! (Especially this: "What the hell are you doing creeping around in the woods?" "I'm following you. What the hell are you doing creeping around in the woods?") Le. Dead. Enjoy!

79. Tag 10 Shadow
It's hard, you know. Trying to cast aside everything you were raised to believe. Sometimes I feel like the deepest conversations my father and I ever had were about the evils of magic.
They shouldn't have been.
I spent the entire time I had with him desperately trying to gain his approval. I would have done anything to really feel his love.
I wound up doing things that I'm not proud of. That I'll regret for the rest of my life.
Tonight, though, I found the strength to atone for them. To be my own man, not my father's shadow.
Cheers!
