• The story of tomorrow...
    Is the broken dream of today.


    There is no longer a choice, no longer any options, no paths that led elsewhere. Keeping her eyes closed as the armor was being placed upon her person, Kira knew exactly what she was supposed to do, the sins she felt she was chosen to commit; the future she volunteered for. If she were to fail, it would be the same ending that she would receive when she made it back to the kingdom she resided in.

    "Ma'am," a woman in tattered clothing, wearing a frown, pulled at the fabric of Kira's sleeve. "You do have other options, you must not go against the king's authority. You will surely be put to death, if you even come back alive, that is!" The worry of the woman was immense, however she was still able to keep her voice as a whisper. Her words were true, being a commoner, royalty would have no remorse in killing her for going against their words. Despite her words, Kira stood straighter; the armor still being placed upon her. The woman made one last attempt to change young Kira's mind. "And your fiancee? What will he think? What will we tell him, if you never come back? Or if you do and immediately are arrested and sentenced for death?... Have you really thought all of this through?" A deep sigh was exhaled from Kira, her hand shaken were now clenching and her jaw tightened. The full set of armor was set and Kira turned and placed her right hand on the woman's left shoulder.

    "You ask too many questions," Kira whispered, her emotions on their edge. "My friend... I will never forget you!" The woman fell to her knees as she had come to the conclusion she could not change Kira's mind, that she could not change the future that Kira now held. Kira turned from the woman and took her sword and sheathed it at her left hip, with that she left the small hut and headed into the woods she had once tread on, that memory haunted her every day and was the reason behind her mission.


    So hold on to the happiness of yesterday...
