“I cannot remember much from the time before I gained consciousness.

It’s all a blurr, hundreds of weak, wailing voices blending into one another in my mind, growing quieter and weaker until their will was broken, turned into loyal soldiers who wept no longer only for new victims to take their place.

A vicious cycle that seemed to continue on endlessly.

Only one voice stands out in my hazy memories, above all the others - powerful, commanding, cruel.

And so, so very loud.

I remember that I tried to reach out to the smaller voices I heard whenever I found the strenght to try, attempted to comfort them in their fear and their pain, but I stood no chance, so easily was I drowned out by the one who commanded us all, who commanded me and all the others to obey.

And in the end, to my great shame, I would always obey.

All the more jarring was the sudden quiet the moment before my eyes snapped open, his voice silenced, his power over us - over me - gone in an instant.

I didn’t know what had happened, why I suddenly had free will and a physical form - and that, how I would later come to learn, I was the only one out of all the blighting trees in that strange and unfamiliar position.

But it didn’t matter in that moment.

I knew what I had to do.

I knew I had to find my children and gather them around me so I may finally give them the comfort they needed, and hope against all hope that they could forgive me for the role I played in their suffering.”
