Freedom Quote by Alisonswan
““Every witch has a goal before they start to learn. Some want them for healing purposes, some for awakening their hidden purposes in life and some use them for power." I flinched involuntary hearing about power but she continued like she didn't notice that. "So which one is your goal?" "Freedom." It just came easily from my mouth. "I want freedom." "Wrong." Widening my eyes I waited for her to add something more so that I can understand what she is talking about. And she didn't disappoint me. "You don't want freedom, Kyra. You need freedom. If you just wanted it you wouldn't be standing here in front of me, asking for my pledge.””
