After nearly two years of absolutely no GS writing, I've returned. I haven't lost my GS fandom quite yet.
A little story based on the simplicity of a loving relationship, yet the complexities and mixed emotions that come along with it through a long-distanced one. Not sad, I reassure you all now.
Enjoy, and hope you all see the somewhat lesson within this story.
And I do not own Golden Sun.
Inked. Dotted. Proofread.
Folded. Licked. Sealed.
It lay in her hands, having no weight but the burden of the words' meanings contained within them. She looked at the wearied down parchment paper, tying it with a ribbon as she did so. Her biggest concern wasn't how it was going to get there; she knew for a fact that it would get there. What worried her most was if the reader would care at all.
She shook her head, shaking her now long, golden hair. Of course the reader would care. After all, it has only been a couple of months, and not a whole lot could have changed.
But. Would the reader care for it? Cherish the words? Soak it in? Feel the same emotions she had felt as she wrote it? Get that tingly feeling she felt as she just carried it alone, thinking of him?
A loud voice broke her thoughts, and with a shout for a reply, she hurried to put her shoes on, passing her staff, her cape, the stares of her Jupiter djinn, and a small pile of other parchment papers, obviously not from a region of her own.
At the front door, she gave the messenger her item and said a grateful word to the person. Placing it within the person's hands, she entrusted this person to deliver the words of hope, emotion, and most of all, compassion.
The messenger didn't quite know of all the pressure that she was putting on him, or just how important it was for it to be delivered to the recipient. He bowed his cap, and started to walk towards the direction of his horse, on his way to the valley of the guardians.
Pressure, relief, belief, excitement, happiness, joy...all within herself. She leaned against the door frame and smiled.
The distance was great in body, but not in heart - It's a start to their friendship, connection, relationship, but most of all...their future.
Short one-shot, but it's a start to work my way back into the GS category.
Thanks for reading this very meaningful one-shot. (and reviewing, if you do!)
