This is a real rough one. I worry for Danuin if things don’t start turning around soon. The mood whiplash from finally succeeding at defeating the Overlord only to destroy yet another community because of her foolishness, more deaths staining her hands, more guilt for her conscience, has left Danuin with only doubts and heartache, no answers.
for self harm. (Sorry)

“Pain and failure, if you can rise above it, are some of life’s greatest teachers.”
I thought we finally turned it around. But I should have known. I can never create, only destroy. How many times have we come to a place only to leave death and ruin in our wake. We are no better than Tea. Communities will have every right to fear us as they do him and it’s all my fault.
I thought I was someone different, a savior. But I am not. I showed you who I was when I shattered your eggs, Selynth. Now these dragons, the ones that survived, have seen me too.
I can’t, I can’t even look at myself. I did this. Their deaths are my fault. There is… nothing. No justice for this. Only more guilt.
How many more will pay for my failures?
You want to know what happened to my wings, Vladorz? I cut them.
I cut my wings, but I feel nothing. I keep cutting, I see the blood, I feel nothing.
Not better. Not worse. Not punished.
How can I keep going knowing all the harm I’ve done and will continue to do…
I keep cutting.
