Being eighteen, it was nothing different really. By some standards she was an adult, but by others, she was still a child. Although, that was none of her concerns. Just a few days ago she had graduated, and a weird feeling had fallen upon her. Chihiro had this odd sense of freedom, as if a burden had been lifted off her chest. There would be no more worries of schoolwork or hearing her parents nagging her about handing in assignments on time.

In the end, graduation was just the start of a new adventure for Chihiro. She would venture off into the world and start her own adventure; however, there was still on adventure she had not completed yet. She was still determined that the lost world of her dreams existed, and that feeling had grown even stronger over the years.

She now stood at her doorstep, staring at the blue endless sky. The years were passing her by now, but she would make it back to the world that left her eight years ago. A slight chuckle escaped her lips and Chihiro swiped a stray piece of hair out her face.

"I'll be back soon," Chihiro whispered. "I'll see you face again, Haku. That is a promise I won't break."

And with that she stepped off the steps of her porch and stepped into a new adventure. She would find where she left her heart, and nothing would be able to stop her, not even time itself.
