Again

…………

Prolong: Forgotten

Waves lapped upon the shoreline while seagulls circled above, trying to find a decent meal for the day. When one of the birds saw a tasty looking fish, it immediately dove towards it. After all, it was rare for the animals to come across a good meal these days. The bird caught the fish, and left to eat it on the ground. Another set of waves gently touched the sand, and then retreated a short while later.

A young man was sitting on dry ground, where the sand ceased and the grass started to grow. The breeze caressed his messy hair, making it wave like golden blades of grass. His glowing blue eyes looked along the shore and nowhere in particular. He was apparently doing some deliveries for a friend of his, and was now resting at the small village. At first, he was intending to refuse the suggestion that the villagers offered, but after a second thought, it seemed to be a good idea to loosen up before he returned back to Migar.

So here he was, sitting and thinking. His face showed no emotion, but if you were a close friend to him you would know that he was thinking about her. Again. It felt like a very long time has passed, but to him…to him, he could remember the incident like yesterday.

He had blamed himself for two years for her death, until she told him that she never did blame him. He felt better, to hear her speak. And even though he had said, 'I'm not alone', in truth, he missed her greatly. Not that he was lying when he said those words, but he felt alone when it came to her. No…not alone…more of, incomplete.

He sighed inwardly. 'She…wouldn't want me to be like this…I know.' He stood up from his spot and looked on a bit more before he turned to go. At that moment, something along the shore caught his eye. Pink? Curious, he turned his gaze towards the flash of pink.

What he saw made him froze on the spot. Or rather, who he saw. He was dumbstruck and doubted his sanity.

'If this is a dream then…make it last.'

He ran towards the girl clad in a long pink dress with short sleeves. Her hair was cascading down in its usual braid. This run felt like eternity, with every step echoing in his ears. When he eventually reached her, he stopped. The girl noticed him, and turned towards him, smiling.

'…unreal…how long have I not seen that smile? A whole year…but…something feels different…'

The two just stood there for a few moments, with the boy staring at the girl in wonder, and the girl staring at the boy in confusion.

He reached up and quietly grabbed her arm. "A-eris?" He finally choked out.

The girl, not wanting to be rude, gently pulled her arm back to herself, causing the boy's grip on her to loosen. She looked up at him and asked, "Who are you?"

At that moment, if you had listened with your heart, you could hear a glass shatter into a million pieces.
