Sorry it's taken so long to write this chapter. Going through a little bit of a rough patch with everything here at home so updates may be a little slower than they were a bit ago. D: I'm trying though, I promise~! On to the next.
Random text and '-''s done on purpose. C:
Very short. Sorry about that!
Snow. It was snowing everywhere, I remember that. I remember thinking… I remember thinking that it was strange for snow to be falling in the desert. I remembered thinking to myself that it was some sort of miracle, a gift from the Heavens. My mother had prayed the night before, and so we believed that we were finally going to be saved.
Oh, I wish I could have warned them. I want nothing more than to turn back time, retain my knowledge, and run with my family out of the village before the Monsters destroyed everything I've ever loved.
I fear I cannot. I was young, you know. I had run around in circles before finding my way again, only to lose it in a sandstorm or something else, and I would be forced to attempt to find my way back. It is a dangerous and terrifying world out there for a child. I learned that the hard way.
When… when I met Vreagon… I felt… safe. He reminded me much of my older brothers, the siblings that I hope survived to this day. I will probably never see them again, but that's alright. They wouldn't like the new me, anyway. Vreagon and his brother saved my life, nursed me back to health when things went terribly, terribly wrong. I thank them for this. I will never forget. Even if I d-e here, I c-n not f-rg-t the things they have d-ne for me. I will never forget-
And wh-n my fa-her smiled, I-
My brot-ers, they-
…why can I not rem-mber what they sounded like?
Even my memo-y of their f-ces has faded.
Bro-her… what was his name?
And my Auntie. What had been her favorite co-or? Hadn't my uncle owned a puppy?
Why can I not remember…?
