Like a boat on water, his feet carry him across the land, gracefully and silently. I watch from behind him, admiring his grace... I myself only wish I could do the same.
Now we run along side each other, making dances out of our paths chosen through the forest. I blinked, and behind my eyelids images of fire and flame flashed all around me. I stopped running, he looked at me with concern.
What is it? he asked. I did not answer. I shut my eyes tight and again saw the blood chilling images of pain and fear. I drooped my head as I felt tears coming from my heart, and I held my arms close to my chest.
I finally answered, my face covered with my golden hair. The images... they frighten me... I trailed off. A tear ran down my nose, and I watched it fall to the earth below me. I'm so scared, I whispered above the sound of my breaking heart, mourning like my people.
Do not worry, he assured me, lifting my face up so he could gaze into my eyes. We all will find a way... a way to return life as it once was. I felt more tears coming, but as hard as I tried, I could not hold them back. Do not worry, he said again, but this time just above a whisper. He lifted my lips close to his, and with one kiss, I could feel my soul heal. I know realize he is my light. My beautiful shining light.
