There is quite the difference between pretty and beautiful
Pretty is what ever is considered pretty for the moment
Beautiful however is beyond pretty
Beauty is in imperfection
The slightest bump on the nose
The different sizes of eyes
The crooked smile
The freckles on the cheeks
The messiness in hair reflecting what you did throughout the day
The jawline and how it settles above the neck just the way it was meant to
The eyebrows and how they are shaped perfectly for your face
The lips and how they convey expression and emotion and passion
The wrinkles that come with aging skin as reflections of memories of a life well lived
The eyelashes and how they protect your eyes in a natural way
Everything adds up to beauty
Beauty comes naturally and we all have it
It is so much more valuable than being pretty
Many times I see people trade their natural beauty in for what they believe is beauty
And I understand that they just want to feel beautiful, but the way we were designed to be is pretty and beautiful
Pretty is a beauty standard in the public but be your own beauty standard
Pretty is fleeting, beauty is forever.

Fangs of Light
This story is a continuation of the Tales of Ezok that began in "The Precipice." Reading this story and its companion "Whispers and Whisps" is not required to enjoy this story, but they will each add layers to the character we see here and I would be remiss to not mention them at the very least.
