Not just a fighter, not just a dreamer
Amazing creator, relentless believer
In who I am and what I got inside

Her jaw set in an angle that was entirely stubborn, Seren met the stony stare of her adversary without flinching. Seeing the woman struggle to move was satisfying in a way, but mattered little when it was her argument that Seren wished to budge.
"And once it moved, you kept attacking," she persisted, growing more heated when nothing she said seemed to even reach the woman. "It was no longer in your way, so why did you kill him? Why? There was no need to go that far!"
It helped not at all to hear that it was something she wished undone. If anything it only made it worse, and Seren shook her head. To her own chagrin she felt tears sting her eyes as the memory of that night came flooding back - fire and smoke, the terrible pain as flame licked her hands, and a young equine outstretched on the ground. Its legs lying long and still, never to run again - and her voice shook with barely contained emotion.
"How can you say that so calmly? You took a life, does that mean nothing to you? Are you really that cold?" Seren hated the pity she thought she saw in the woman's eyes. Another who looked at her like she was an ignorant child - it was infuriating. Just because she cared about something beyond herself.
