1. If you could start over what would you do differently?

I'd start over at the point I found where my childhood friend had attended school. I'd thought he betrayed me, though years later I realized I should have asked why when he disappeared from my life. The school had a privacy policy. Were I to attend—and I was offered a scholarship—I could find out where he'd gone (they knew), but otherwise, no. I'd likely be found out as a runaway and my scholarship wouldn't keep me from being shipped home.

I'd take the risk instead of running. I should have attended. I'd not have learned to fight and lead, but I'd never have become a criminal, either, forced or conned into doing increasingly evil things. I might actually have led a normal life!

2. If you could go to any alternate universe and start over what would that universe be like?

The more I study it, the more I realize the magic determines our destiny, or at very least freezes it so we can't change it. Ultimately, our willpower fails us. It's evil. I'd search for a universe lacking magic, where muscle and intelligence are most important, where everyone is equal. Without magic, people will have to be able to live their lives as they see fit.

3. If you could instantly kill or save someone, including someone long dead, who would it be and why?

I'd save my mother. I'd prevent her from going on that last mission where she got killed. Better yet, I'd convince her that her best friend was no friend at all. I convince her that were I to become orphaned, that friend of hers would go on to ruin my life. She'd not die and I'd have a family that loved me.

1. If you could start over what would you do differently?
As hard it is to admit, probably nothing because changing anything to make my life better at first would lead me to never cross Erie.
