"Is it the shadows in hearts, of which you speak?"

((My first time dropping by your journal, I just thought I'd mention it's a little difficult to read. The black text on a dark blue background needed to be highlighted for me to make heads or tails of it.))

"Cassandra was blessed, or cursed, with visions of the calamities to come. When she tried to warn the ones on whom tragedy would fall, she was mocked, derided, for none believed her. Then, when her words were proven true time and again, the people who failed to believe her were angry with her, claiming she should have warned them, but had not. She was caught in an impossible situation, without allies; madness was the only path left to her."
