I dedicate this story to everyone I know and anyone who needs to be cheered up!

~Memory~
~Ciara~

My life was never boring when I was by her side. I miss her dearly, and it seems as if she will never disappear from my mind. To me, she was multiple things: My mother, leader, role model, hero, nursemaid, best friend, and teacher. I told many, they said: "One can not be so many things so a single child." But what if she was? I can't explain everything to the people I know and love, if I did, they wouldn't understand. No one does. So I just let life run it's course now.

I remember, my 8th birthday party, Ciara made me a small cupcake with a wolf on it. I was so happy I could have screamed. We celebrated the whole day by opening presents, eating and telling funny stories. It was and is my favorite memory.

I remember for Shard, I went out and mined gold ore, smelted it just Ciara taught me to, and made Shard a pair of boots. One day he came back from hunting with a broken arm. One of his boots had broke in half and he almost broke his ankle. I was so proud of the boots I made, but deeply concerned for my friend. So Ciara and I baked a cake and brought it to him the next day. And that's when I knew he would stand by my side, for a VERY long time...
