Disclaimer: Dragonlance doesn't belong to me. I only want to own Laurana but I think it's a bit difficult (Damned Tanis lol)

A/N: Well, this is something that came to my mind while I was in class, so I don't know if it isn't very bad. I'm looking forward to your opinions R/R!!!!!!!!!!!



One last visit



I know I shouldn't be here, I should be preparing myself for the important events that will happen tomorrow, but I can't face it without visiting you once again.

The griffon leaves me in the entrance, only lighted up by the slight brightness of Solinari and of some torches. I realised that I'm shaking, although I don't know if it's because of the cold weather or of the place. The Tower is almost abandoned, only a couple soldiers are in the entrance door. They seem very surprised by my arriving. They surrounded me, knowing that I mustn't be there but I'm not afraid, not now. I take off my hood, letting them look at my face. They get out of my way as they realised who I am. None of them come closer; nobody comes closer to me ever. Anybody but you. You were the only one able to penetrate in the heavy mask I wore every morning, in the chilly cloak in which I wrap myself. You were the only one who could make me change my way of thinking, who make me realise that we can't continue as now, just pretending that the rest of the world doesn't even exist and that their problems are not of our business.

You believed in the peace, although you were a soldier, you believed that our races could join together and fight in this way the crescent darkness. And is because of all this things that I will do tomorrow what my duty says.

One soldier gets on my way as I arrived at the mausoleum where you are, surprised by the fact of seeing a woman roaming around the place. I only wait, while his partner whispers something to his ear as the light of the torches come to my face. I smile weakly when the soldier begins to tell me he was sorry, as almost any Solamnia knight. You weren't like this, not only because you didn't belong to the order as in your heart and soul you did. Perhaps it was due to the circumstances of your birth or the friends you had, but it was true that you weren't like those sumptuous knights that are defending the Tower. When I look at them I think of you, and I see a reflection of what you may see when we first met. I was as sumptuous as those warriors, but although all I said to you, you didn't leave me, you haven't left me yet. But now is time to leave the past behind and start a new life.

I finally arrive at my destination. You're lying there and anyone could think that you are only sleeping, but I know it's not true. Nobody knows why your body didn't deteriorated but who cares, the fact is that you are exactly as I remember. A small tear fall from my eye, despite I had promised I wouldn't cry, not today. I thought I have shed every tear I can have, but I see I was wrong.

I start talking to you, in whispers at the beginning, because it isn't very normal for a princess to talk aloud alone, is it? Today I have gone to tell you that tomorrow I'm getting married but not for love of course, since you know that my heart belongs to you and always will. I do this for our people's sake and for you, to continue with your idea of a better world.

I'm leaving now, I spend too much time here and I don't want to be discovered. It will be easy to convince the knights not to tell anything about my visit. A small smile comes to my face as I kiss you in your cold lips. This is my last present my dear. I hope Paladine watch over your rest, my love.

Ahlana Starbreeze.
