And now she was completely out of options. She stopped crying and sat in silence at the river shore.
"Rose!"
Suddenly, she heard a voice. She turned around to see who it was.
...
Nobody was there...it was just her imagination...She felt sorrow breaking outside again, and uncontrollable angst..
She was about to cry again, but at that moment a ray of sunlight fell onto her eyes through the forest tree branches. She looked at the sun with the edge of her eyesight through the leaves partially blocking the morning sun. She remembered the times when she would pray to the Sun God Leto together with Cain. She could hear the birds singing in the forest. She started hearing the wind gently touching the trees. She started hearing the lazy flow of the river - she couldn't notice what was around her before because of her depression. Now a positive memory made her warm again from the inside. She didn't want to think or worry about anything, - she just layed under the sunlight on the forest grass near the river for a long time.
She finally calmed down. She opened her eyes and smiled when she looked up at the clouds swimming across the sky. She decided to forget all her old memories but to keep only one memory - the memory of her love for Cain so she could live on and continue her life. She decided to still try to become an Alchemist because there was nothing else for her left to do - she decided to never return to Liore city because that would be just too painful. She knew that Alchemists had knowledge, and knowledge gives access to great power. Of course that wasn't exactly Rose's flow of thoughts, but that's what her intuition was telling her. Deep in her heart, she still had a hope that Alchemy would give her a way to revive Cain. But she would not be dragged down by the past anymore. It was time to take a step into the future without looking back.
Rose drank from that river again and continued her path down the river. After a long trip, by the evening she finally arrived to a small village that she could see in the distance in the warm-cold blue evening air. The houses were emitting smoke from the chimneys. She was very hungry, so she decided to to ask for some food.
ok if you have any ideas feel free to leave them in the comments! also reviews help me write this story so it would be a real help even if you write just a few sentences. anyway guys if someone has any problems right now just take some time to have a walk and sit under the sun outdoors it really helps to deal with depression.
