If anyone was to ask me who my hero was, I would pretend not to be able to give them an answer on the pretext that I've known too many glorious men and women in my life. However, in my heart, I know who I really admire. Nealan of Queenscove, my best friend since I was ten years old and new to Page training, and my confidant.
He has always been there for me in times of need, whether I realised it or not. Through thick and thin, he has always stuck by me no matter what other people said. A loyal companion, an intelligent classmate, and an honourable knight of the realm. These are all the qualities that I have witnessed in him, time and time again, over the many years that I have known him.
It is for this reason that I sincerely wish him the best of luck in his marriage to my other best friend, Yukimi noh Diaomoru. For a while, I had my reservations about their relationship, for as we all know, Neal does have a tendency to be a blockhead at times and Yuki is no better. Despite this, I have had the unique privilege of being the first person to realise just how much these two people care for and are meant for each other. I mean, just when I thought Neal would never settle down...
Let us all raise our glasses. I wish them all the happiness in the world. Here's to my two best friends, ladies and gentlemen! To Neal and Yuki!
I found this little piece while going through an old notebook of mine. I can only just barely remember writing this piece - must have been back in 2009 or '10, sometime around then, when I posted my other fanfics - about Thom, and Numair. I've only changed a word or two while typing it up, so it's pretty much all the workings of my 16/17 year old self. Kel may seem to be a teensy bit OOC as a result. I'm not sure. Let me know either way?
