“I painted stars and the moon and clouds and just endless, dark sky.鈥 I finished the sixth, and was well on my way sawing through the seventh before I said, 鈥淚 never knew why. I rarely went outside at night鈥攗sually, I was so tired from hunting that I just wanted to sleep. But I wonder 鈥 鈥 I pulled out the seventh and final arrow. 鈥淚 wonder if some part of me knew what was waiting for me. That I would never be a gentle grower of things, or someone who burned like fire鈥攂ut that I would be quiet and enduring and as faceted as the night. That I would have beauty, for those who knew where to look, and if people didn鈥檛 bother to look, but to only fear it 鈥 Then I didn鈥檛 particularly care for them, anyway. I wonder if, even in my despair and hopelessness, I was never truly alone. I wonder if I was looking for this place鈥攍ooking for you all.”
