" Imagine but a whisper pushing aside all in its path."

Fus

"It is called 'Force' in your tongue. But as you push the world, so does the world push back. Think of the way force may be applied effortlessly. Imagine but a whisper pushing aside all in its path. That is 'Fus.' Let its meaning fill you. Su'um ahrk morah (Breath-and-focus/thought). You will push the world harder than it pushes back."
- Paathurnax, Elder Scrolls IV: Skyrim

I was never your victim

But I found those who were and are, and I gathered their whispering voices
their horror-filled tales of you, some too painful to say
I gathered their tears and their words, not knowing this is what I do

I was never your victim

Always shielded and out of the line of your fire
but each of their tears wound me
As they refuse to cry, to accept or to feel because of what you did
I feel more, I cry harder and I know

You are wrong.

I was never your victim

But I am the one that holds their voices
and I will speak because they could not

And you will atone

Because you made victims out of the people I love
