Hey, guys late again "^~^ I probably won't post every Tuesday this summer. I will do that when school starts probably...
Don't get me wrong I will post a chapter every week but I can't promise to do it on a specific day. But if you have any other suggestions that would be great! =)
The Cottage Hospital (Kyros POV)
I thought I was going to have a calm day today, I was going to look around camp and I saw that girl, Aria was her name and her betrothed. I was going to have a normal conversation with her but nooo. She just had to punch me in the FACE! Now thanks to her I have a swollen cheek. I'm with the medic and it seems I'm gonna be his assistant...great.
Speaking of the medic. He looks at me and hands over a wet towel. "What did you do?"
I hear the unamused tone in my voice. "Nothing, I told the truth to someone and that person just punched me..", I have to admit. I'm sure he's thinking; Well then you obviously did something.
I think that I've seen Rachal somewhere before but I don't know where... why should I try to remember him? He should remember me! I turn to look at what he's doing and he stares at me?
"Why are you looking at me?"
I caught him, he doesn't know what to say, so he just rattles. "Eeh..I..I- just wanted to ask you about your father." I know they were going to ask eventually but that doesn't change the fact that I don't really want to.
I shrug my shoulders and say it's not much to talk about. "He was distant, wanted nothing to do with me. My mother died in childbirth so I can't really say I had a family. I have always been on my own." I hear someone so I look at the tent opening, but no one is there. False alarm. I turn to Rachal again to show I want to continue.
"I guess I'm just jealous of everyone who has a family here. Aria, Boreas, and all the other rebels", I confess. I suggest that he should make himself comfortable, I finally have someone to talk to about this. And it feels like he will listen.
13 years earlier
I remember an evening when I was young. It was bedtime and I wanted my father to read me a story. But he was busy as usual and told me to get one of the servants to read for me instead. Being 7 years old I really wanted my father to do it, so I asked him why he couldn't.
He took me and put me on his knee, and said to me. "I want you to take a moment and think about what I have told you about my life. I and my best friend had the opportunity to do something extraordinary. Then imagine how your father felt when all that was taken from him. By his best friend."
He kept going. "Would you accept that...or. Do whatever it takes to take back what was taken from you." Of course, I said that he should take it back. I hadn't heard any other version from that time and I knew what he had gone through.
There was one last thing he added before I went to bed. He said that if I want something in life I must take it and that I can't care about others cause they will always disappoint me. So that's how everything started for me.
Not enough attention from someone I needed and extreme advice were enough to form me into the man I am now.
back to current time
Rachal nods his head as he listens to everything I have to say. He then goes in front of me and looks right into my eyes. "I know you had it though. But so has everyone else, your past doesn't define you. All children here have lost someone. Aria didn't get along well with her father for a whole year! Boreas' parents left him with his uncle, he was devastated to learn that his own mother and father didn't want him."
I get his point. I guess I'm not as alone as thought.
That's right Kyros you're never alone!
Please leave a comment it always helps me to see that people like something I do! (^.^)
