Faded Dreams

The past love that I had will always remain somewhere in my heart, but it is said – I have to let go…

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The cold wind rushed to my face as I hurriedly ran uphill. I need to get there on time. I cannot forgive myself if anything happened to her…

I bid my Priestess goodbye that morning and asked her to meet me uphill in the southern field of Prontera, hoping to surprise her with my gift – but I didn't know that the shadow of grief hung above us. She agreed to meet me in the afternoon and finally I left. I crossed the full street of Prontera hoping to find the most suitable ring for my Priestess, because finally, I decided to ask her hand. The past love that I had will always remain somewhere in my heart, but it is said – I have to let go. Tucking the golden ring I just bought in my pocket, I made my way through the crowd. And as I reached the southern gate of Prontera City, I noticed that a lot of wounded people were entering the gate.

"What happened?" I asked a merchant who looked terrified as the others.

"Baphomet… uphill…"

I didn't wait for him to finish for I know that my Priestess is in great danger…

Two silver arrows shot from my hand as I finally reached the place. Yumi was already wounded heavily but she still stood up and tried to concentrate her last aura to the king of darkness. I tried to call her back but her only reply was a weak smile and a soft gaze that made my heart weep – I cannot loose her… I won't let it. I ran towards her but ice crystal walls started to form around me. Enveloping and protecting me.

"Be safe…" she whispered.

Trapped in her wall, I tried to break free but nothing happened. I suddenly felt the ground shook as Yumi unleashed the Magnus trapping the king of darkness in the holy circle. For me it was a long agonizing hour. Not able to help and protect her, and loosing her… a great stab of pain burned my heart as I held her ring.

The sky started to darken and droplets of water started to fall like tears from heaven. The barrier disappeared and I quickly went to her fallen body. Cradling her to my arms, I caressed her face and tried to wake her. Her eyes opened weakly and looked at me with warmth.

"I'll always love you…"

She murmured before her last breath went. The rain poured harder as I embraced her in my arms. I sat there soaking in the wet ground that doesn't seem to exist. Even the cold rain doesn't matter anymore or the wind that blows… in fact, nothing matters anymore.
