Why not linger over your work? Although the loveliest moment is over in a flash, there's the aftermath to revel in. Beautiful, brief, and blinding. You sigh, blissful. Your hands don't tingle like they did before the blast. You feel relaxed, satiated. You breath in the smoky air. You stare at the stretch of devastation before you. You created this. All it took was that stone. You feel so powerful. You feel it welling up inside of you. Your full strength. Your true potential. You kiss your palms, the tools of your victory- the world's destruction.

You were right, one day back then, when you told yourself to hold on. You knew even then. If you could wait. If you could keep your true desires to yourself. Eventually your day would come. This is it. This is your time. This is the life you've always wanted. You got all you wanted, and all you had to do was reach out and take it. It's funny, isn't it? All these colleagues of yours who shudder and shiver, not realizing the joy and wonder of the chance they have been given... Well, this may be a nightmare for them, but it's a dream for you.

This is your time now. Make the most of it.
