I was so naïve back then. I blame myself for being so stupid and gullible and yet how could I not have been? I trusted Rezo. He was not only my teacher but also my great grandfather. The day he offered me power, I didn’t think to ask what he wanted in return. It never occurred to me that he could have had some ulterior motive. In a way, I was also blinded, by a foolish assumption that Rezo would never hurt me on purpose and by the promise of power. I should have questioned my body’s reaction that day. Why did I feel shivers crawl up my spine? Why did I feel an unfamiliar fear as he approached me? Why did I feel this wasn’t the same grandfather I had known since before I could remember? But I didn’t question it, instead I let him lure me in and change my life forever. From that day forward, I vowed to never let myself be blinded again.

I remember us talking about this on the trip. I'm glad that you wrote it up! I like the theme for today too, it made me laugh. *grin*

Thanks! When I saw this one, it was just so odd of a theme I had to write something for it. Zel, just came to mind. XD
