It's a beautiful blue night. The moon is full and shining with the stars. Its light reflects on the dark blue ocean as it waves into the shore calmly. The wind is smooth and soft, a nice breeze against my skin.

Tonight, I'm sitting on a rock along the shore, listening to the sound of the water as I sit by myself. It's a night I want to take time and think to myself. Lately, I've been lying to myself, telling myself I'm fine, but I haven't felt the best, but being relaxed in a place like this makes me feel at ease.

I begin to remember my childhood. I was born and raised in the city of the underwater temple. I grew up with two close friends, the grandchildren of the emperor, Kiato and Kahono. We were very close, always playing games and running around. As we got older we became very inseparable.

But like nature, the older you become, the more you change. I developed feelings for Kiato. I fell for his beautiful soul. I loved seeing him dance to the sound of music. I loved seeing his blue eyes and dark hair glow in the light. Eventually, I confessed to him, hoping I wouldn't ruin our friendship I valued deeply. Thanks to the universe, he felt the same.

We dated and nothing kept us apart. I remember how he always pulled me to dance with him, and every time Kahono would sing for us. He thought me how to move freely and elegantly to music. He made me smile and laugh all the time. I had never been so happy. He treated me like a princess and made me feel loved and cared for. I felt like I had found the love you read in fairy tails.

My parents and his grandfather approved of our relationship. It was like the most perfect relationship ever. That was until the visit of the Black Bulls. One day, the group of magic knights for land, known as the Black Bulls, arrived at the city. They were on a mission, looking for something the emperor had. I remember it was once meeting new people from outside the city. I learned many things from them and made new friends. Kiato and Kahono also loved their visit. the three of us became close friends with Asta and Noelle, two teenagers from the squad. Asta was a nice, short kid and Noelle was a beautiful royal I would've loved to become friends with.

I had always trusted Kiato, more than anyone. I would tell him everything and he would do the same. I never doubted him or expected anything to break us apart. We always knew to talk with each other and work things out if there was a problem. However, during the visit of the Black Bulls, he became slightly distant. No one would've noticed, but as his girlfriend who spent every minute with him, I noticed the different behavior.

First, he made began to make smaller conversations and always gave one-word responses which weren't typical of him. He always seemed distracted or uninterested, or at least that's how it felt. Little did I know he was interested, interested in a gorgeous royal. One time, I saw him talking with Noelle, just the two of them alone. He was staring at her with glowing eyes and talked to her in a sweet voice. I couldn't help but grow jealous. Noelle is a stunning royal, one look at her can make any girl insecure, and the attention Kiato was giving her was hurting me inside.

Kahono noticed how Noelle had attracted her brother's attention, it worried her. She tried to assure me and told me not to worry about her brother. I tried my best, but the feelings still lingered. I know trusting a possibility won't keep it from backstabbing anyone.

Sometime later, I figured Kiato had fallen for Noelle and claimed that she was the goddess he dreamed of. He broke up with me, saying that maybe our relationship wasn't right. There was no reason for us two to break up, other than him falling for another girl. It hurt me deeply. He was a good person and I loved him more than anyone. I was left feeling insecure, even betrayed. So id decided that it was best for me to to the surface, outside the city, so I wouldn't be able to see him anymore, as every time I saw him, it felt like my heart shattered.

Here at the shore, I hear music every night, and it only reminds me of the way Kiato and I danced like there was no tomorrow. It made me grow a love for dancing. Tonight, under the full moon, I hear a familiar toon. I turn in search for where it is coming from. In the distance I see Kahono singing the song I love most. I couldn't help but get up and dance to it. it was the song Kiato and I loved dancing to, to the point where we considered it our song.

Now here I am, dancing to a song without my partner. I find myself dancing with his ghost. I tear up and I silently cry as I move to the rhythm of the music. As she came closer to the end of the song, my movements became slower. However, my tears didn't stop running. I stopped and took a breath, intent to control myself. I questioned how he was able to throw something valuable away so quickly. Unless maybe, he didn't value our friendship the way I did. I think I should think like that, I need to stop holding on and just move on just like he did. I soon realized it wasn't worth crying over something so stupid. So I walked home, reminding myself to never let something like this happen again.
