"There is was again.  Fate.  As a child, that word was often my only companion.  It whispered to me from dark corners during lonely nights.  It was the song of the birds in spring and the call of the wind through bare branches on a cold winter afternoon.  Fate.  Both my anguish and my solace.  My escort and my cage."
-The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton
