I never loved this planet. I will say even more, I sincerely hated it. He despised him with every fiber of his soul. And every day, for as long as I can remember, I dreamed of the day when I would finally leave this ice-bound, storm-choked world behind. For twenty long years, the Citadel was the only place I called home, and its inhabitants were my only family. I still remember the moment when I realized that I could not be part of the whole, and the day when my real family collapsed and shattered into pieces as irrevocably as an ice sculpture created by the wind. The day my mother disappeared. Ten years have passed since she disappeared, and I still blame myself for letting her fly away.
