“I have a personal vendetta against your father, but unlike everyone else, I plan to do something about it.”

–Salem Rose

Salem Rose is a Raposa created by GuyThatExists that appears in the short stories Shadow Lives On, Blank Slates, and Blank Slates 2 as a cameo appearance, the short stories The Lavasteam Chronicles Part 1, Salem Rose Pt. 1 and Salem Rose Pt. 2 as a main character, and the one-shots Self-Awareness and Stampy's Quest as a cameo.

He is an adult version of Miles Drouhin who grew angry when his step-father Meeny was killed by a disease indirectly caused by Wilfre. He uses a Time Machine created by Kamalah and a Ruby Earring stolen from Wilfre in the future in order to get his revenge. He is eventually corrupted by the power of the Shadow Stone and he gains the power of both Shadow and Color. After being depowered in a 1-on-1 fight with Wilfre, he is killed in 2007.

Appearance

Salem Rose is the grown-up persona of Miles, and therefore shares many characteristics. New characteristics include the Ruby Earring, a replica of Salem's Cape, and the ability to coat himself in both Shadow and Color depending on his abilities at the time.

Story

Conception

Salem Rose was first created by Miles as a child when he finds some Color in the courtyard of his mother's mansion. He plays with it, prompting him to come up with the idea for a color-powered superhero persona. He doodles himself, showing Galileo the image before he leaves, asking to come on a journey with him. Galileo tells him to stay at home, but still tells him to follow his dreams. The next time Miles is seen using color-based abilities is when he, Eeny, and Meeny are trapped in Jivin' Rooftops's Action Drawing section. Miles takes a pen from the Action Draw Altar and creates platforms for the three of them to continue.

Mayor of Watersong

Eventually, Rose dies due to complications with her gift of song and the premature transition of power. In this time, Miles becomes the Mayor of Watersong and is a founding member of the Creator's Alliance. However, during the tenth annual meeting of the Alliance, Mari admitted to harboring Wilfre in Rapoville, so Miles pulls out of the Alliance alongside King Russet of Lavasteam and Mayor Metis of Shadow City.

Due to the wedding between Rose and Meeny, Meeny dies from the same complication as his wife, but in his last moments, Meeny calls Miles into his room, telling Miles to "go be the Salem Rose the world needs." Meeny dies and Miles falls into a depressive episode, re-adopting YoYaYa and hiding in his mansion for 3 months. In this time, Miles creates an intricate plan to kidnap Wilfre from Rapoville and use the ruby artifacts against him.

Going to 2008

One day, Miles gets a call from Kamalah, the mayor of Galactic Jungle and a close friend of his. She tells him that she finally completed a working Time Machine and that she wants Miles to help her test it. Miles agrees, believing that he can see his step-father again, and he leaves for Kamalah's Lab. When he arrives, Kamalah warns him about stealing objects and interfering with the timeline, and Miles agrees to not mess with anything. He decides to travel to 2008 and observe the Giant Scribble Monster attacking the village.

While watching the fight, Miles ignores Kamalah's advice and tries to take the Ruby Earring and Wilfre's Scepter, but finds that neither of them are where they would normally be found - on Circi's ear and on the Secret Beach respectively. He starts to return to his time machine when he overhears Mari and Percate talking after the Giant Scribble Monster was defeated. Percate tells Mari that she's leaving the village, and on her way out, Percate hears Miles moving through the woods. He tries to explain himself off as a Baki and a tree monster, but Percate starts to chase him back to his time machine. Miles enters the time machine and returns to 2042 before Percate can spot him, but the experience causes her to seek therapy from Dr. Cure and C.J..

He returns to Kamalah's Lab, but accidentally appears a few minutes before he arrived in the lab earlier. Kamalah gets mad at his past self for hanging up without any formalities, and present Miles apologizes. Kamalah is excited to see that the time machine worked, but she shoos him off before his past self arrives. Miles asks if he could theoretically use the time machine as a teleporter if he didn't change the time settings, and Kamalah says that he could. Miles then returns to his mansion, and abandons his plan to punish Wilfre in the present, now planning to ambush him before he could cause any harm, preventing his reign of terror from ever starting.

Working with Milfre

Eventually, Steven calls him, asking for help with the Stellar Showdown Housing Project. Miles agrees to help, using it as an opportunity to show off his new time machine, telling the ghosts that its simply a teleportation machine. YoYaYa also sneaks into the time machine, taking him to The Wasteland as well. Salem Rose ends up helping Milfre on the project. When she reveals that she recognizes the time machine from earlier in her life, she reveals that she fought Wilfre and won. The two of them decide to help each other find Wilfre, and Miles agrees to take her to Deadwood so the two of them can pursue their mutual interest. Miles lies to Steven, telling him that he plans to take Milfre back to Watersong so that Steven would allow her to leave.

When Miles, Milfre, and YoYaYa arrive at Deadwood, Miles explains that they are there to defeat Wilfre, and Miles asks Deadwood for shelter. Deadwood lets them in, and Miles begins to explain his plan to the tree. Miles says that he planned to obtain the Ruby Earring and control of Color. Deadwood tells him about a way to collect color without draining any color from his landscape - a secret realm contained inside a Wishing Well. Deadwood tells him that he has to jump in the well and commit suicide to get into the realm. Miles decides to go to Rapoville to find said well, and he leaves Deadwood in the time machine, leaving for 2010 so as to not be detected.

Discovering the Void

Miles dives into the well and finds himself in the Developer's Grove, eavesdropping on Joe and the Droogle Leader talking about villages. Miles finds a sword in the Grove, and realizes that he must stab himself to enter the other realm. When he does, he is teleported to The Void and is greeted by Rocko, Jinxy, Flash, and Hose. They explain where he is and help him to his feet when Willham appears and begins to take him to the Color Vat.

With Willham, Rocko, and Flash coming with him, Miles begins to walk towards The Next Chapter Village. Flash asks him how he was able to find the void, so Miles tells her about Deadwood and his ability to time travel. This ability angers Willham, so he points out the Color Vat and tells Miles to leave with a Shadow Stone, explicitly stating to destroy the stone when he returns home. Willham then leaves and Flash points out the location of the Drawn to Life Village where the stones could be found.

When Miles arrives at the Drawn to Life Village, he finds Tomohawk relaxing with a Shadow Stone. He asks the Droogle for it, and Tomohawk obliges. When Miles catches the Shadow Stone, it quickly corrupts him, causing his darkest side to come to light. Using his newfound powers, he drops the name Miles, adopting the name Salem Rose, and kills Tomohawk. He creates a portal back to Rapoville, and he uses the time machine to return to Deadwood.

Assigning Missions

When he returns to Deadwood, he finds Milfre, Kamalah, Robigo, and Athys waiting for him, so he gives them missions to help him fight and defeat Wilfre. He tells Athys to gather intel about all of Wilfre's movements since 1982. He tells Robigo to find places in time where Wilfre is afraid, vulnerable, and alone. Robigo doubts his authority, causing Salem Rose to attack her, purposefully missing her. After witnessing his power, Robigo leaves to do recon through time. Looking at Kamalah and Milfre, he assumes they already know their missions, and Milfre asks what Salem Rose plans to do. As Kamalah leaves, Salem Rose creates a portal behind him, disappearing to present day Rapoville.

In Rapoville, Salem Rose goes to Village Hall to apologize to Mari for his actions at the last Creator's Alliance meeting. Wilfre, sensing the presence of the Shadow, enters Village Hall and tells Mari to leave. Salem Rose threatens Wilfre, asking for the Ruby Earring. Wilfre refuses to hand it over, causing Salem Rose to thread the building with Shadow, loosening the supports. When Wilfre covers himself in an aura of Color, Salem Rose presumably destroys Village Hall and kills Wilfre, taking the Ruby Earring for himself.

Attacking the Void

After taking the Ruby Earring, Salem Rose uses the time machine to enter the Dev Grove once again. Hearing the commotion of the time machine appearing, the Droogle Leader investigates the event, causing Salem Rose to hold him hostage. Salem Rose forces the Droogle to take him to his sword, so the Droogle Leader complies. Salem Rose stabs himself, sending himself into the void once more. When he arrives, he finds most of the inhabitants standing in a crowd thanks to Aly's appearance moments earlier. He begins to monologue to the residents, demanding that they take him to the Color Vat once more.

Suddenly, he is attacked by many residents of the void, including Jinxy, Fox, Crawler, Rocket Vulture, Willham, and Shadow Mari. During their attack, Salem Rose portals away to the Color Vat, where he dives in, submerging himself in the Color. While in the vat, he is surrounded by the screeners and the Four Guardians. They demand that he comes out, so he bursts from the vat, releasing a wave of color that knocks the Four Guardians down, killing them. When Salem Rose creates a portal to escape, Willham notices that he didn't destroy the Shadow Stone. Willham tries to erase Salem Rose from existence, but his attack is slightly too late, allowing Salem Rose to escape the void and dodge the attack.

Vs. Milfre

Now having the powers of both Shadow and Color at his disposal, Salem Rose returns to Deadwood, telling Robigo to leave, as a fight is about to happen. When the Raposa leaves, he absorbs the color from YoYaYa, killing his pet and leaving its colorless body for Milfre to find moments later. When Milfre appears in Deadwood, Salem Rose begins to ask her about her mission in 2013, feigning ignorance as to the location of the Ruby Earring. When Milfre reveals that she had betrayed him, Salem Rose laughs, revealing the earring to Milfre and coating himself in both of his new powers. Milfre dons the Artifacts of Power, and the two begin to fight.

Salem Rose is able to dodge all of Milfre's attack with ease, but when he notices that she has the ability to summon Creations, he gets suspicious of her. He blocks a Trident with his Shadow, unintentionally redirecting it at the Eternal Furnace, causing the Artifact to explode with a shower of Color, Shadow, and fire. Intrigued, Salem Rose begins to fight back, grabbing onto the Branches from the Tree of Ages sticking out of Milfre's hair. He channels Color into one of the branches and shadow into the other, causing them both to explode. Milfre then throws Salem Rose across the arena using her Scribble abilities, summons the Legendary Sword, Sword, and Slasher to her side, and throws the Pen Sword at him. Salem Rose catches the pen and explodes it, sending a blast of ruby energy throughout the ancient tree, causing Deadwood to scream in anguish. The energy channels back into the Ruby Earring, causing Salem Rose's abilities to become more potent.

Salem Rose then steals the Legendary Sword and Slasher from her, now using them to attack her. Coating the Legendary Sword with Color, Salem Rose attacks the Pencil Shield, causing it to explode as well. Milfre fell to the ground, allowing Salem Rose to create two balls of Color and Shadow energy, firing them at her in a point blank range. The Crystal Mask absorbs most of the energy, but it explodes in her face, causing Milfre to loose some of the color in her arms. Salem Rose is thrown to the other end of the tree in the explosion, destroying his Shadow Stone and stripping him of his Shadow abilities. He quickly gets up and walks over to Milfre, stealing more of her color and exposing more of her mannequin, and he portals away to The Wasteland.

Destroying The Wasteland

At the Wasteland, Salem Rose demands that he be given the three Village Orbs, but Steven refuses his request. Following this, Salem Rose levels the Stellar Showdown Housing Project as a diversion. While the ghosts attempt to rescue the people inside the housing project, Salem Rose takes the Galactic Jungle Orb and Lavasteam Orb. Steven notices him as he is about to take the Watersong Orb, but successfully gets Salem Rose to leave without it. As he leaves however, he tells the ghosts that he plans to "get rid of roadblocks."

Destroying Kamalah's Lab

Now back at his mansion with two orbs in his possession, Salem Rose believes that Milfre died and her time machine was destroyed, now wanting to eliminate Kamalah. In his mansion, he waited for Robigo to show up, and when he did, he infused her with the power of the Lavasteam Orb, infusing himself with the Galactic Jungle Orb at the same time. He asks her if she found a spot where Wilfre was alone, vulnerable, and afraid, and she gives him that location. He then tells Kamalah to set her time machine for Kamalah's lab, and the two teleport there.

At her lab, Salem Rose sends Robigo in to make sure both Kamalah and her time machine were present. When she confirms their presence, she begins to set the lab on fire, prompting Salem Rose to attack with his color. As the damage gets worse, Salem Rose takes hold of the plants in the main village below, forcing them to grow up and over the lab, caving in parts of the roof. When they believe that Kamalah and her time machine are sufficiently destroyed, the two of them disappear to 2007 where they plan to defeat Wilfre. Unbeknownst to them, Milfre had survived the attack and helps rescue Kamalah from her lab.

Vs. Milfre's Team

He and Robigo appear in 2007 right as Wilfre covers the Village Bridge in Darkness. Robigo confirms her role in their plan as Wilfre notices the two machines in front of him, and right before Salem Rose and Robigo can attack, a ball of light appears in front of them. When the light fades back to a time machine, they find Milfre, Kamalah, Stampy, Willham, Shadow Mari, Jowee, and Lock all there to fight them. Salem Rose holds Robigo back and initiates a conversation between him and Milfre. As they talk, Milfre tries to appeal to Miles, telling him that Meeny had seen all the damage Salem Rose had caused, yet he still wanted his son to be spared. Miles, finally breaking through for the first time since the Shadow Stone took hold, begins to weep as the weight of his actions finally sets in on him. However, as he thinks back on his late step-father, Miles remembers Meeny urging him to be "go be the Salem Rose the world needs." With that, Salem Rose takes over once more and attacks Milfre, sending her flying. Robigo and the rest of Milfre's Team then join the fight.

Salem Rose is fought by Stampy, Willham, Jowee, and Lock. Salem Rose starts by summoning a wave of vines and firing them at Lock. Jowee, now powered up with the Tail, Claws, Ice Sword, and Wings, picks Salem Rose up, allowing Lock to grab the vines and dodge the attack, and Stampy begins to shoot Ink at Salem Rose. Lock grabs the vines, making them into a lasso, and he grabs Salem Rose, slamming him into the ground multiple times. However, Salem Rose grabs the lasso, sending thorns up the vine and breaking some of the mechanisms in the Robosa Suit. He is then attacked by Willham, who tries to erase him from existence once again. Salem Rose then fires two shots of color at Willham's glasses, causing him to dissipate and take longer to reform.

Jowee then attacks Salem Rose once more, grabbing him with the Tail and flying into the air. When Salem Rose recognizes the Ice Sword in Jowee's hand, Salem Rose grabs the tail, draining the color from all of his attachments, sending Jowee flying through the air. Salem Rose returns to the ground and is attacked by Stampy and Lock, now both controlling the Robosa Suit. Lock begins to fire energy at Salem Rose, and Stampy creates tendrils of ink that grab Salem Rose's limbs. Stampy stretches him out, holding his body in front of the energy cannon. However, before Lock can fire the blast, Salem Rose uses the grass they were standing on to rip Stampy off of the machine and disable some of the mechanisms in the Robosa Suit.

Suddenly, Salem Rose is blasted by the Lavasteam Orb, destroying the orb and knocking Salem Rose to the ground. Robigo, now betraying him, flies to his side and begins to shoot him with lava. Milfre's team then joins in on the attack, blasting Salem Rose with attacks and unknowingly powering the Ruby Earring. As Milfre watches him stand up despite their attacks, she notices the blinding red aura of the earring, and watches as he uses the Galactic Jungle orb to disarm Willham, erasing the orb from existence. He then uses the ruby energy to blast the Raposa out of his way, knocking everyone except Wilfre unconscious and destroying the three time machines.

Vs. Wilfre

Salem Rose walks over to Wilfre, now able to move, and challenges him to a fight. Wilfre notices the Ruby Earring on his ear and angrily asks what he did to Circi, causing Wilfre to charge at him. Salem Rose and Wilfre begin to attack each other with their respective abilities. Salem Rose blindly attacks, aiming only to kill Wilfre, while Wilfre attacks and dodges with patterns. Eventually, Wilfre notices that his attacks are dwindling Salem Rose's power, so he summons a wave of Shadow Bats and Shadow Ghouls, flying off to his lair.

After dispatching the Shadow enemies, Salem Rose lands at Wilfre's Lair, and Wilfre sends Wilfre's Scorpion and Boss, a corrupted version of Athys, to attack him. Athys pins him up against the wall with multiple arms, allowing the Scorpion to stab Salem Rose's stomach. As he is being attacked, Salem Rose creates an aura of color that he releases, knocking Scorpion and Athys off of him. Wilfre then escapes back to the Village Bridge, and Salem Rose follows him, his powers now severely limited.

Wilfre apprehends Salem Rose after a few more attacks and pins him to the ground, mocking his fighting abilities. Salem Rose begins to charge a wave of both ruby energy and color, and Wilfre opens a portal behind him, allowing Athys to appear with the Pen, absorbing both his color and the ruby energy. Around this time, Willham and Shadow Mari wake up, and after Athys absorbs all of his power, Willham sends smoke towards the Ruby Earring, erasing it from existence. Milfre then wakes up and walks over to Salem Rose, assuming that since the Ruby Earring was gone, he was free from corruption. She asks him what his name is, and Salem Rose responds with only "Salem Rose." In an ironic twist of fate, Salem Rose is then pierced by a wave of Shadow through his chest, killing him for good.

After Death

The status of Salem Rose's spirit is unknown, as he has not yet appeared in The Wasteland. Mari makes note of this in her transcript of Bavel's Diary.

Quotes

“You’re harboring the biggest threat our world has ever known in your village and you didn’t think that any of us should know about it?” –Miles “My mother died because of Wilfre’s influence, Lavasteam was almost reduced to rubble, Galactic Jungle was turned into a military state, and that’s not to mention all the terrible things he did to Rapoville. I frankly don’t understand why you won’t even consider punishing him.” –Miles “Dad, this is getting out of hand. I think it’s time to play the atomic card.” –Miles “Mari, I would like to formally announce Watersong’s withdrawal from the Creator’s Alliance, effective immediately.” –Miles “I, Mayor Miles Rose, hereby remove myself from the duties obligated of members of the Creator’s Alliance.” –Miles “It all started when I was in Rapoville on business and read this book by an old scholar named Bavel. It talked all about the magic of World Gates and the ability to travel to another realm!” –Miles “I helped set up the World Gates with Mari when the Alliance was first formed. Now there’s one in every village that didn’t have one already.” –Miles “Kamalah, I can’t express how grateful I am to hear that.” –Miles “Ha ha, very funny. You’re lucky I have other stuff to get done today.” –Miles “Stop saying stuff like that! You’re old but you’re not gonna die any time soon, not if I have anything to say about it.” –Miles “I remember that when he died, you stayed in your room for days and wouldn’t answer to anyone but me.” –Miles “Please dad, don’t go…” –Miles “Kamalah, we can stop working on the cure for my dad.” –Miles “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything bad! See you in a decade!” –Miles “Well, there goes the earring, but hey, maybe I can still find the Wilfre’s scepter.” –Miles “No earring, no scepter, nothing at all. Well, I guess things worked out for Kamalah then.” –Miles “Uh, no one! I’m just a simple Baki, running through the forest!” –Miles “Then I’m a tree monster or something! Just pay no attention to me!” –Miles “Sorry, I didn’t realize that formalities were so important to you.” –Miles “I got to watch the Giant Scribble Monster fight in person!” –Miles “Hey before that, I had an idea. If I don’t change the date on this thing, could I just use this as a teleporter?” –Miles “Well, hey there buddy! C’mon, let’s go to the blackboard, I have an idea.” –Miles “It’s been good, I just made a huge breakthrough on a big project I’ve been working on.” –Miles “I am, and I guess the fact that I can’t see through you means you must Milfre.” –Miles “It’s a teleportation machine. Kamalah made it so that we could get around to the villages easier.” –Miles “I guess she didn’t buy the tree monster story then. I guess I don’t need to tell you that I’ve been travelling through time, since this is the second time you’ve seen me.” –Miles “I promise that no harm shall come to your granddaughter while she’s in my care.” –Miles “Deadwood! We mean you no harm! We simply wish for your guidance and your shelter!” –Miles “We have a plan to strike Wilfre down, the very same Wilfre that crippled you all those years ago!” –Miles “None of that matters Deadwood, we have a time machine. Surely in all your wisdom, you must know this is true.” –Miles “To be completely honest, it’s a half-baked plan, and I still need to find a source of power to make it work.” –Miles “I got it from the Creator. Jowee and the Hero commissioned it for me back in Aldark’s days.” –Miles “If I could get the ruby earring from Wilfre and find a source of color, I could go back in time and take him out before he ever rose to power.” –Miles “With all due respect, I’ve been to Lavasteam more times than I can count in the past 30 years. There’s no color vat anywhere in the village.” –Miles “There’s only one well that I know of that could possibly lead to another world, and that’s the one in Rapoville.” –Miles “Is…is this the void?” –Miles “I heard there was a second Lavasteam down here. Are you a cloud of smoke?” –Miles “I’m from 2010, but I talked to Deadwood in 2042.” –Miles “Sorry for causing such a fuss down here. I promise not to come back unless my life is on the line.” –Miles “I’m just gonna pretend I understood that. Is that a Shadow Stone you’re holding?” –Miles “Well, first off, my name’s Mi…uh, Salem. Salem Rose. Not Greenie. And second off, what even are you?” –Miles “Like I said, my name is Salem Rose. Shadow-powered superhero.” –Salem Rose “Don’t be silly, Milfre, Deadwood doesn’t have the ability to harness Shadow.” –Salem Rose “Please, call me Salem Rose now. It much better suits my abilities, and it also suits the five of us, as we all have pivotal roles to play in the upcoming conflict.” –Salem Rose “I need you to travel to 1982, when Wilfre first drew in the Book of Life. Gather intel, and report the events exactly as they occurred.” –Salem Rose “Robigo, I need you to find points in time where Wilfre is alone. Vulnerable. Afraid. Make a list of them all and report back here.” –Salem Rose “I assume the two of you already know where you need to go.” –Salem Rose “Oh, trust me, I have a few visits of my own to make.” –Salem Rose “Hello Mari. I just wanted to come apologize for my outburst at the last meeting. I can’t speak for Russet or Metis, but I was irrationally upset at Wilfre. I now understand my fault, and I would like to apologize to you.” –Salem Rose “How observant of you! Mari if you would like to start running, now would be the time.” –Salem Rose “Let’s make a deal Wilfre. You give me that earring, and I’ll spare your life for now.” –Salem Rose “That’s precisely why I need it, to control this power. Right now, I could level this building completely on accident. We wouldn’t want that, would we?” –Salem Rose “I know of something here that will grant me the power of color. I would like you to take me to the void so I may use it.” –Salem Rose “Perhaps you misunderstood, send me to the void, or I’ll make sure no one ever hears from the Droogle race again.” –Salem Rose “You can tell me anything you wish, but you have no control over me now!” –Salem Rose “People of the void, my name is Salem Rose, and I truly mean you no harm. This realm doesn’t concern me, so if you will kindly direct me towards the color vat, I will be out of your hair. However, should you attempt to obstruct me, I have no issue decimating you, your friends, and your villages. Once I have the power of color at my disposal, I will leave the void, never to return, and that is a promise to you all.” –Salem Rose “Such a shame that you think you could stop me, but at the very least, I’ll be out of your way from here on out.” –Salem Rose “Do you know how potent the color of a creation can be? According to my knowledge, if one living creation were to interact with another, the two creations would share their life forces and heal each other. Isn’t that such an interesting fact?” –Salem Rose “Such a shame! Well, I guess I'll have to go pay your father a visit and get the earring myself.” –Salem Rose “You did what you were destined to do! There’s no fighting your fate Milfre! This would’ve happened with or without me!” –Salem Rose “Poor little girl. Being raised by ghosts really stunted your critical thinking, didn’t it.” –Salem Rose “I’ve told you already, Milfre. My name is Salem Rose, and I will be the savior of this timeline! I will eradicate your father and all who stand in the way of my plans!” –Salem Rose “So, it seems like the little girl who could was a Creation Hero this whole time.” –Salem Rose

“Alone, vulnerable, and afraid.” –Salem Rose “Good. You and I will head there after tying up one last loose end.” –Salem Rose “I hope you weren’t too attached to Kamalah, we have a lab to burn.” –Salem Rose “There he is. Do you know what to do, Robigo?” –Salem Rose “Very good. Now, wait until he covers the bridge, and then we strike.” –Salem Rose “It seems that we have some new competition.” –Salem Rose “I thought I killed you with Deadwood.” –Salem Rose “When I was Miles, I was weak. Indecisive. Unmotivated. Now, I have the power of the Creator at my fingertips. I will kill Wilfre, here and now, even if it’s the last thing I do.” –Salem Rose “Dad?” –Miles “What am I doing?” –Miles “I’m doing what I was born to do Milfre, and no one is gonna stand in my way!” –Salem Rose “I told you I had no more reason to bother you, yet you still decide to come after me.” –Salem Rose “Then you’ll be happy to hear that I no longer have its powers.” –Salem Rose “When you’re fighting someone who has control over plants, try not to stand on the same patch of grass for too long.” –Salem Rose “Alright Wilfre! We can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way!” –Salem Rose “I’ve killed you once, I can kill you again Wilfre! Give yourself up to me!” –Salem Rose “Alright then. Let’s do this the hard way.” –Salem Rose “You can’t run from me forever Wilfre! I’ve got you cornered, and I have your only weakness at my fingertips!” –Salem Rose “The best part about being a time-traveler is that you have the timeline in your hands. Be as confident as you want Wilfre. I am going to kill you for my father, my mother, and everyone you’ve ever wronged!” –Salem Rose “Nor does it belong to you! I spent hours researching this earring just for this fight!” –Salem Rose “What are you doing to me!?” –Salem Rose “My name is Salem Rose, color…powered…superhero…” –Salem Rose
