Check mate
Pond to A 1
Checkmate bitch, it's my turn to go from the pawn to the Queen.
The difference between me, the pawn, and you, the rook, is that I levelled up and chose my own path while you stay in the past.
Watch me go from moving across the board observing the game and listen to you judge how small, stupid and weak I am.
But I've managed to cross the board with ease
Now watch me in my new levelled-up life execute the board and shine like the Queen I am.
I'm sorry. What, is the problem? Why are you upset now?
You're upset now because I've healed and outgrew you so now it's a problem?
It was a problem when I was a pawn in your chess game but now that I'm a Queen in my game I'm now a threat?
Shit, I'm sorry. When you figure out what it is you want feel free to keep it to yourself and keep me out of it.
Also, checkmate.

Vale Perficientur
"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”

I loved how powerful this was! Also, I may be wrong, but isn't that piece called "pawn"?
