I was not merely wounded but I was initiated without my consent.
For I have passed through the furnace of deceit, where false tongues spoke like truth and shadows wore the faces of kin. I drank from wells poisoned with illusion, yet my spirit did not perish. What was meant to confuse me became the sharpening of my inner sight. What was meant to destroy me became the forging of my soul. #
