Magic is the eruption of emotion. The witch is the ultimate form of decay. Magic is glowing mud. Something other than one's own reflection. Oh you, who hold this book in your hands— Can you read this script? Have you glimpsed your destiny? Wear the name bestowed upon you with pride, even when hope runs dry and innocence is shattered. You will not lose yourself. Neither your hatred nor your grief is a lie.
