✔ᵉⁿᵍˡⁱˢʰ for the Throne [Aquaman | Orm Marius]✔

epilogue

Addiction is a drive that is impossible to satisfy once you give in to it. Even if you don't give it food, the hunger remains. Therefore, what remains in the end? Orm has lived far too long with his hatred for his brother, forgetting what is essential. Atlantis. Its inhabitants. At this point, it is no longer possible to speak of hatred being quite similar to love. It may be true, you can't force it and you can't fight it. When it appears, it simply has to be accepted.

An endeavor that is driven by passion cannot be stopped. Over time, however, it develops its own momentum until it becomes the driving force behind a change. This is exactly how an intention, transforms into a driving force. And so the vow of a child, becomes reality. Therefore, grace is at the heart of every tragedy. And if there is no height from which to fall, no pride in the life lived, one has nothing to lose. But once in the free fall of disgrace, one can only reverse its momentum by using it to one's own advantage.

It is said that revenge, tears the heart and torments the conscience and if there is any truth to that, then I now know for sure that Orm is on the right track.
