Chapter1: The hardest thing to do

Their adventure finally coming to an end Isaac and his companions were camped near a wooded area that they would have to pass through the next morning. There wasn't a cloud in sight and everyone went to sleep happy in the knowledge that the world was once again safe from the power of psynergy in its most destructive form which could have torn the world apart.

They were returning to vale where this adventure had begun so long ago when Isaac and Garret ,the two seemingly insignificant young boys who were to save the world one day, set off on a quest to save their kidnapped friends and to save the world. Together, Isaac and his friends had faced every evil that the world had revealed to them and each time, even when faced by impeccable odds, they left victorious.

The world was safe and their adventure was coming to a close, soon they would be split apart once more as each returned to their homes.

The world was safe and they would be going home soon which helped Isaacs companions sleep contently that night. Isaac had first watch that night but even when his duties of guarding had been relieved by Garret Isaac couldn't sleep because something was bothering him, and so Isaac lay awake in the quiet of the night. But unknown to him another member of the group of adepts lay awake too.

"I should be happy that I no longer have the burden of saving the world upon me" Isaac thought to himself "but I'm not happy at all"

He was troubled because they would be split apart, but if it had just been parting with friends he would have been able to put up with it. But they weren't just friends they had saved the world together and he was in love with one of them. He could not bear being away from her it would be too much to put up with. He couldn't just carry on through life as if he had never met her; as if he had never fallen in love. Isaac cared deeply for Mia but was always too afraid to tell her that he loved her.

"Why can't I tell her" Isaac thought before his mind answered his own question "because" be paused for a moment "because, she will break my heart if she doesn't feel the same way"

Isaac had travelled around the world fighting evil in every form it took be it a mere thief or a towering monster and had never been afraid of anything he and his fiends had encountered. He was the leader of the band of warrior adepts that had saved the world. No one thought that he was afraid of anything or that there would be something that would be harder for Isaac than anything he had done previously. After all he had saved the world how could anything be harder than that?

Isaac had dispatched of the toughest enemies, he had overcome any fear about facing them, and he had saved the world.... but for him this was much harder.... who knew that saying just three words could be the hardest thing in the world to do, or that so much fear could be created by the mere thought of a negative response to these three words

Who knew it could be so hard to say "I love you"?

Isaac whispered these words quietly to himself and thought nothing of it, it seemed so easy to say those words but as he knew too well such an easy thing could become the hardest thing in the world to do. Whenever Isaac had come close to telling Mia, he had been too afraid to say those words, those words that when not said to anyone were so meaningless, but became extremely meaningful words when said to the one you love.

"How can something so easy be so hard to do?" Isaac thought"because" he told himself again "because if Mia doesn't love me too I will be heartbroken"

Before he had fallen so deeply in love with Mia Isaac would never have believed that something as easy as saying "I love you" would be the hardest thing that he would do in his life. After all he was trying to save the world then and that had to be harder, didn't it? He would never have believed it because it sounds so easy to do you just have to say three words and it was done. It wasn't until he had first tried to tell Mia how he felt about her, that he realised how hard these words could be to say.

He had tried to tell her countless times since but he could never bring himself to say it. He was too afraid that she would break his heart, but he knew that if he didn't tell her soon they would be split apart, and she would never know how much he loved her. If he could not tell her how he felt about her he would regret it all his life.

Unknown to Isaac just a few meters away Mia too was thinking along these lines, how she would regret never telling him she loved him, and how she was afraid he might not feel the same way.

Their love for each other was obvious to the other members of the band of adepts but both Mia and Isaac were oblivious of the fact that the other did feel the same way as they did.

If ignorance is bliss then they should have been in heaven. Each was deeply in love with the other, yet neither of them realised that the other felt the same way

Love can be a strange thing, you search desperately for a sign that the one you love feels the same way, but even though it's obvious to everyone else, you seem to miss every sign that you do feel the same way about each other.

Yes. Love is a strange thing indeed, it can make something as easy as saying a just three short words extremely hard to do. That is how something so easy can become the hardest thing to do. Because of love.

Out in the quiet of the night, beneath the stars, moon and a beautiful cloudless sky, Isaac and Mia both spent a sleepless night thinking about these things, both eventually coming to the decision, that by the time the set that night they would have confessed their feelings for each other. Each mind working independently of the other, and somehow managing to come to the same conclusion as the other, the conclusion that if they did not confess their feelings that day, they may never have another chance.

They continued to think like this until dawn broke and they watched the sun rise into the beautiful cloudless sky.

Another day and perhaps the last chance for Isaac and Mia to tell each other their feelings of love for each other.

But it was another day ..
