The Last Knight of Lorelei |
Justicia Lorelei |
A few years ago after escaping through the time stream, my body lay deep underwater in the huge lake within the mountains. It was as if I never even escaped from the time stream, the sensation is the same but now at least it’s much quieter than hearing voices I never heard before. Seeing all those images in my head were nostalgic and at the same time scary. The light of the sun refracted, as I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the luminous rays of the sun, everything just seemed quiet, it was a tranquil place to sleep and yet so lonely. My body started floating up further to the surface; when I got to the surface my head hit the boat. A man who so happened to be fishing there, he was one of Alaya’s chosen and at the same time, the same man who taught me how to fight, how to live. At first he was wondering why I was floating on the lake naked and to be honest… I really don’t know either, I guess time works in strange ways. It was a miracle that I wasn’t disintegrated, I’ll have to thank mom for that when I see her again… if I will see her again that is. I was clothed, fed, sheltered the look in the man’s eyes, forlorn of the dream once lost and his actions sang its requiem. So I told him this, in return for his hospitality I vowed to continue his dream of becoming a hero, not good nor bad but somebody who can make a difference in the world and then when I come back, I’ll wear a smile on my face and face my family once again. I returned to this lake to thank him, I returned to this lake in order to tell him that I loved him like the father I never had met. Now I’m on my own, living long enough, waiting for the day to come but for now I must learn more and more about this Era I’m in, I must take a step and who knows? Maybe I’ll find something that I can consider a home here. Yes that’s right I will… its just unfortunate that the lake had to freeze on me. I heard there was a guild within a few miles from here; I better get going before the snowstorm kicks in. The cold cuts like a knife through flesh, it began to snow and before you know it I was pelted with hail, but I kept on walking, the second I waste standing in shelter I may not reach the said guild in time before dark. How many steps have I taken so far, I just can’t tell. I was born on a cold day, this was nothing to me but I can feel myself getting drowsier than ever. Only a few more steps.. A few more… My feet failed me as I dropped to the ground; my body gave out before it can even reach the guild hall. My consciousness slowly fades as my hear froze and became whiter. I just need to crawl and… No.. I’m losing consciousness, my body is about to be buried in snow … tsk… I can’t die here, I just can’t. My mind is screaming but my body is no longer responding, I guess I should have stopped by into that shack I saw earlier. Crap… I can’t… I…. |
