It Begins Part 1

Blake stared into the big round eyes in front of him that were filled with hope and reached out, placing his hand on top of the young girl's head. "You will be reborn as a new kind of human being. While you may not regain what was once lost, you will gain the strength and courage to stand up in this new world. So when the time comes, stay strong and work hard. Push through the unbearable pain and hope for a new future."

Blake's words caused the young girl to wipe her tears and nod her head firmly. She had a firm resolve in her eyes. Blake's words were what she needed to take a step forward. She clenched her fists as she stepped forward and hugged Blake, causing him to open his eyes wide, but those eyes slowly softened as he patted the girl on the top of her head. He could see that there was hope for this girl to rebound. He hoped she could pass the trials ahead.
