At that thought, Aiden cast aside every precaution and restraint he had clung to. He struggled to his feet and spread his arms.

He roared at the mass of mist, screaming out all the despair and pain he had endured, all the abuse and humiliation!

"Fate has never been fair to me!"

"Misfortune! If you can truly give me the power to change my life, I'll bear any price you demand!!"

"The rise of witches... must be accelerated!"
