The whole of the forest had come to see this sad event, the funeral of Queen Tara. Sad and yet familiar faces could be seen at the front of the crowd, MK was crying softly into Nods neck, even though MK did not know Tara she felt as if she owed her a lot of thank you to her for she had brought her to Moonheaven and there she meet Nod the love of her life. There was only one person who would miss Tara the most even though he would not show it on his tired face his eyes said it all. After the funeral everyone had departed but only one was left, Ronin, he slowly pulled out something wrapped in green leaves from his pocket. Ronin unwrapped the leaves to reveal what could only be a letter, as Ronin opened it he began to read what he had wrote.

To the one I may never love but shall always love

I see you standing there in front of me, the very sight of you sends winters wind climbing up my spin but seeing you in the light makes me ignore the wind call to tell you everything I have and always will feel for you but I know I am not meant to be with you, for I am nothing, you deserve the sun and moon light and the diamonds that we call stars glorious shine which sparkles in your eyes. Your smile is so kind and pure as though the rot and evil have never tainted it but I will always protect you from evils claws and would die just for you and only you. Looking back to the very years of our youth I wish I had the courage to tell you how I feel for you and that maybe you love me just as much as I love you, I am just a dreamer, but there is a part of me that screams and shouts too tell me that you have shown all the signs that you love me but I cannot lie I have seen them but I do not know what was keeping me back but now I hate myself. I have lost you, I cannot love or have a chance to hold you in my arms. I pledged to protect you and I have failed you, I hope that were every you are that you can forgive me but not just for not protecting you but for never saying I love you but I say it now in this letter in hope that you can somehow see this and understand that one day I will see you again. Tara I have and will only love you.

Forever Love

Ronin

Only a single tear fell from his eye as he closed the letter and wrapped it gently up in the green leaves and put it in the river in hope somehow Tara would find it. As Ronin turned to leave he swears he could feel the wind wipe away the tear that was falling down his check and he knew somehow it had to have been Tara. So he smiled her favriote smile and in the wind he could hear Tara's voice saying "I love you to"

The end
