A Lost Arrow
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Did I make the right decision? – The question that will always be engraved in my mind…
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It was a wonderful afternoon. The dusk at hand and the once blue sky slowly turns to a velvet horizon. I sat uphill leaning my back on a huge tree as I watch the sunset. A soft cold breeze touched my pale skin that made me shiver – But that is nothing to the cold I once felt. Sitting here and watching the half-orange orb in the sky, always make me reminisce things and experiences I long tried to bury.
A Huntress I am now, demanded by so many jobs and famous to every city. Successful in life and everything I need is in my hands. However, there is only one thing I lack and I'm not sure if I will still be able to take it back… the love I once let go.
I was young and it was the first time someone professed his love for me. Kind and gentle is the Hunter that became my suitor. He's a fine man that I cannot ask for more. But fear and worry enveloped my feelings that I cannot decide. Fear of falling for the one not destined to me and worry of loosing the friendship my friend and I tried to forge for so long – for she, my best friend is in love with the same man. Torn between the two I cannot choose. Things became so complicated on my part that finally I decided to end it. Choosing the friendship I treasured for so long, I told him that I feel nothing special about him that I only like him as a friend and a companion.
He accepted my lies and began to be cold until finally he left. Without any words, he disappeared. I felt guilt slowly eat up my heart. Did I make the right decision? – The question that will always be engraved in my mind.
Years passed and my best friend already married a Knight like her, and I am happy that she had finally found her soul mate and destiny. As for the man I loved, he also became a great Hunter of the East, hunting everywhere of rare and precious items. We met after three years and it seems as if everything happened yesterday. For me that short moment seemed like eternity. But I cannot deny the fact that the pains of lies still mark our hearts that past sad memories returned and started to enfold us.
I was about to tell him the feelings I still have for him but the courage was drained from me as a fine Priestess came and held his hand. Pain and remorse burn inside me as he spoke…
I have lost him forever…
Sighing and shaking my head, I ended the memory and tried to bury it once again. And it is said: Happiness is a choice not a chance. I must go on and feel life, for my journey of finding my destiny has just begun…
