Forever Night
Chapter Six
The Past Follows the Future
We learn new things every day. Or we try to. I try to. There's no point, I think, in living a life without learning.
It's easy to forget, though, on sunny days surrounded by tankards of ale and the sounds of raucous joy, that knowledge is like anything else:
Changeable.
Uncertain.
Not always good.
Pleasure and pain.
It hurts.
Life teaches many lessons. Lessons for the body. Lessons for the mind. Lessons for the heart. And there's pleasure and pain in each one. But for this, this lesson...
Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain in all, and all because I forgot the most important lesson:
It's not always sunshine and fairies.
Some days it's rain on black water.
And krakens.
Author's Note: Due to the fact that this chapter is ungodly short, I'm updating this with chapter 7 as well. Fortunately for me, though perhaps unfortunately for the three people actually reading this, this weekend is the Beta Weekend Event for Guild Wars 2. I've only been waiting for this for like ... 6 years, so all my time is going to that, no question. Probably won't update over the weekend. Might, weirder things have occurred, but don't count on it. THANKS AGAIN FOR READING! (And even more for reviewing :D)
