[WR2 M8] Phase 2 ~ Fury of Light

You sit down in a nighttime field, playing with the grass between your fingertips, but something VERY big is on your mind. So yeah, you're finally here. It's weird, like, REALLY weird. In spite of the calm night breeze surrounding you, your inside is nothing but chaos and excitement stirring inside you, or is it? This has been such a long time coming, but you can't really tell how you feel about it. A lot of you is happy it's finally over, ready to dash into the future's light without taking a glance back. But, as much as you won't say it out-loud, part of you misses being as wide-eyed and naive as you were as you went into this, just looking for some fun. It still feels weird that people say how much charm the old you had, considering your once cold reception...
 
On the way you've made a few.. no, couple.. wait, dozen.. Honestly, yeah, you've made a lot of decisions you really regret, wish you did better when you could. You still can't live a good few of those down, too a point that a lot of people would say is a bit too obsessive for what you really are. It's okay though, you'll always give yourself praise for your ability to be self sufficient, rising from an era of mockery to daresay one of the icons of the place you call home. Some of this place's best are right here, eager and willing to support you fully.  
 
You lay down on the ground, locking eyes with the moon. Can it be argued you cheated a bit to get here, yeah, totally (especially with all those similar to you that fell when they were going all-out on effort from the start). Did you stick the landing on the way here, obviously not (you still joke to yourself about how technical issues are almost synonymous with your name). But, you did it, you somehow fucking did it. You're here, and you damn well have the praise to boot. You think about everyone on the path here, former detractors, those who once helped you (god, you can't begin on how thankful you are), the (in your personal opinion) all-star cast you have ready to help you now. It still doesn't feel real that some of the most famous people here helped you so much back in your early years.  
 
You stand up at once, you don't know how or why you feel it, but you know it's about finally time. You'd end it off with a "Stay Funny!", as per tradition, but you just don't feel it anymore. It's been so long that you aren't really at impersonation status anymore, you're yourself now, fully and truly. You think about all the developments that occurred as you went on, how all your peers, your inspirations, are ready to see you take a starlit stage for all to see. As some of your most peers are ready to show their best. And most notably, your own biggest inspiration, and this place's arguable founder, is coming back to show your home at it's absolute peak. It fills you with a sense of determination. 
 
You're too proud of what you have to show to care about your odds in comparison at this point, as much as you'd welcome potential friendly competition. Once again, you're yourself, anyways. 
 
It doesn't matter what happens next. You're aiming for the stars, kid, and you're sure as all hell to stick the landing on the way down.
