&quot;No one is simply born &quot;strong&quot;.<br /> <br /> People only grow stronger little by little, by encountering diificult situations and learning not to run from them, no matter how frightening or daunting they may be.<br /> <br /> Lucas. That is exactly what you have done to grow strong.<br /> <br /> However, you did not do it for yourself.<br /> <br /> You grew strong for those you would otherwise be unable to help. They are the reason you are strong.<br /> <br /> Even now, you occasionally show a glimpse of it, Lucas. Fleeting images of that once-pampered, crybaby boy can sometimes be seen in your smile.<br /> <br /> You&#039;ve come a very long way. There&#039;s no telling what to expect from here on out, but if one thing is certain, its that those who believe in you will be right there to help.<br /> <br /> Trust in them.<br /> <br /> Now go forth, toward whatever stands out the most in your eyes.<br /> <br /> Go, facing not the darkness, but the light.<br /> <br /> Lucas...<br /> And his companions...<br /> <br /> You have driven the enemy into a corner. The enemy&#039;s back is to the wall.<br /> <br /> There is nothing to fear now.<br /> <br /> Everyone is watching on, with complete faith in you. In their hearts, they all say, &quot;Thank you!&quot;<br /> <br /> Can you hear them?&quot;
