A “revenant” is defined as one who returns after a lengthy absence or death. Although we haven’t emerged from the grave just yet, most of us certainly have experienced a stretch of nonexistence that has led us to a point of resurrection to our true selves. Each tale is distinctly unique to its individual and therein lies the similarity. Whether our lack be caused by the mourning of a close friend, a jaded past, a dismantled dream, shattered hopes, or the loss of ones self, we have all returned to the beginning again with a new perspective to complete the circle.

Along this jagged dark path we will discover who we really are only to lose ourselves once again. We do this so that we may return once more to our true forms that are stronger, swifter, and sharper than before. We are those who rise to live through the depths of hell and heaven, and to seek darkness on the brightest day so that we may know life for all that it is. We are those who cast ourselves into exile as vagrants so that we may return as kings. We are the wretched and the beautiful; we are the condemned and celebrated; we are the hopeful and the hopeless; we are more than mortal men. We are spirits too strong to expire among the dead and buried. Beaten and trampled, bloodied and bruised, we shall rise. For we are . . . Revenants.
