The Elf King's Shadow
Heavy is the head that wears the crown, or so the saying goes. And while this may seem a snippet of profound advice, in my case it came to fruition in ways I never could have anticipated. I was raised for times such as these. Some may even go so far as to say my destiny was predetermined generations before my inception and subsequent birth, and while I resisted this notion with all I had in me from the moment I was old enough to speak my mind, I look at what lay before me and realize they were right all along. This was who I was always going to be, and now it is all I can do not to crumble under the weight, to succumb to the pressure of being the daughter of an elf king several centuries into his illustrious reign.
