^{THE IRONY HOWEVER, IS THAT I'M NOT ACTUALLY ANGRY —}

^{Depressions like a big fur coat. It's made of dead things, but it keeps me warm.}

^{Happiness is only temporary, and people are fools if they believe otherwise. If there's one thing Kady has learned over the past few days it's that everyone is right. With a destroyed hut and hurt clan members, the dragoness has been struggling more and more. She's inadequate. Unfit to be a deputy and protect her family here. How many more creatures need to get hurt? How many more new faces are going to appear and she can't even associate a name to them anymore because she just isn't pay attention anymore?}

^{How many more times is she going to run off to the Thunderlands for physical comfort and distractions when her best friend is sitting right here in the clan? Does she even know the ones she once said she loved? Irene was pregnant with Rhae's kids and she hasn't even spoken to the female about it yet. Her friendship with Gabriel is still patchy. Ella is a friend, but not someone Kady is willing to confide in yet. And then there are so many new faces. Piper is back, but he has his own things he needs to worry about. Rosemont is sweet, but she's never really had a full conversation with him. Ladon was struggling with being blind now. Aleksei? Well, Aleksei she's just straight up scared of if she were being honest. Canoris was still mourning over Surge's death and Osiris is now a father by adopting fortunekit. Yanyu is the small sunshine she needs in her life to keep her inspired and Ada? Well, Ada is a growing young girl who doesn't need guidance from Kady. There are so many other names. Ones she can associate faces to, others she can't. It's like she's standing in one place and the world keeps moving.}

^{She's made no progress in her life, and at this point she feels like a pure failure once again. She just recovered from a cold, but no matter what the dragon will continue to push herself harder and harder until there's nothing left to push.}

^{I don't belong to anyone else.}

^{Kady is her own individual. A lone wolf who was best off that way. There are days she thinks she can't hold her position anymore. Days when she thinks that maybe, just maybe, joining BlizzardClan was actually a mistake after all, even if it provided temporary bliss.}

^{And that is why the dragon was now actively avoiding clan members. Sure, she still carried on with her usual duties, but when she had free time she was often at the river just staring at her reflection. This body wasn't even hers, but was instead gifted by a demon. The two golden key necklaces around her neck were just added weight on her shoulders with the secret powers they held. In these moments of silence when she had time to think she really wished she could just start over, but she was destined for a downfall since the day she was born. Maybe she was meant to be a tragic hero? No, no. Not a hero at all. She's just a walking tragedy. Walking frustration and now walking depression.}

^{A heavy sigh escapes her lips as she lowers her head to the stream and takes a long drink.}

^{Let there be someone out there who can either provide her happiness.}

^OR

^{Let there be someone out there who can end it all.}

^{— I'M TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO BE HAPPY, AND THAT IN ITSELF IS A WAR}
