Its been two years since then. They still have no idea who is behind the death of my fiancé. Ever lead they get leads to know where. I head to the tavern as I go there often. I grab my usual spot and a dandelion wine. I sip it slowly as I look around at the crowd. Its almost a full house. Mostly the knights. I take out my journal and look at my notes. I'm trying to figure out what to do for tonight's short performance. Soon I hear the door open and see my dad come in. I smile at him. He sees me and waves. As always, he has a lot of energy. He comes over and sits down beside me. I look over my notes one last time before I close my journal. I look up at my father and then he speaks "You'll do great Destiny. You are my child after all." "Yes, I am. But I am better then you father." he laughs Maybe one day but you aren't there yet." I shake my head at him and put my journal away. I stand up with my lyra in hand as I take a deep breath. I play a soft tune to get everyone's attention. The winery become silent as they turn their attention towards me. I focused and once I am I begging my story. "This is the story of a knight. A man who loved adventure. About a man who wanted to take on the world." everyone starts to focus on me more as I continue "A brave man who fell in love with a barb. He made sure to come home to her every night. And as soon as she turned of age he asked for her hand. Her parents agreed wanting them both to be happy." soon the music I am playing changes and it grows darker. "One day he had to leave for a mission he was due back in two weeks. He promised to come home just like he always did. She waited for him to return but when it was the day of his return she began to worry. She prayed he was alright then the letter came. She had lost her lover and the only man she wanted. She blamed the knights for not protecting him. She vowed to find the killer. To make sure her husband was avenged. She looked for clues day and night. Wishing to the Archons she would find the person who did this. But the days went on with no answers. So, she began to question weather to keep looking or to give it all up. Time was limited to her so in the end she decided to let it go and to keep moving forward. And maybe one day the answers would reveal themselves to someone else. To someone who was worthy." The music came to an end as I catch my breath. The crowed in the tavern was quiet and then they slowly began to cheer. I smile and give a small bow jumping down from the table. "A wonderful show as always" a random costumer said "Why thank you I'm here every day." I smile and sit down. I order another glass of wine. I feel my dad give me a small pat on my shoulder. "Daughter you will one day have to revel if anyone ever finds the answers." I smirked at my father than say Where is the fun in that father." I chuckle. I start to look around at all the people in the winery and smile. I'm glad to have put on another great show. I would soon have to work on something else. It has been hard for the past couple of months. Hell, it has been hard for the past couple of years. But my friends and family have helped me a lot with these stories since then. Giving me someone to talk to about what ideas where in my brain. And what words rhymed with another. I hear the bell on the door go off. I didn't look to see who it was. I knew papa was at home. My father said he hadn't been feeling well today. I look around again and see a couple in the corner. My heart skips a beat. The young couple reminded me of my past self. The girl who still believed in love. And it reminded me of how I had lost a my love. I sensed that someone had stopped beside me. But I didn't look up to see who it was and then they spoke "Hello Destiny its been a long time hasn't it." I look up quickly as there is shock written all over my face. "Kazuha?"
