For the last four years of my new life, I had been focused on forging a mana core. I had to be strong enough to protect my family this time. The knowledge from my past had become a huge help for me as I constantly meditated and gathered the small light particles around my body near my solar plexus. My parents, Alice and Reynolds, were both taken aback when I was able to form my own core before I was even three years old.
Still, I felt like that wasn't enough. I had to get stronger. Being reborn to this new world was like a blank slate for me, a clean start. I didn't want to waste this opportunity. Although, I was still reminded sometimes of the amenities and prestige of old life.
But what I truly missed the most from my past were the quiet moments I got to spend with Arin.
Arin.
I wonder where she is right now. She might have cried; no, she definitely would have cried when she'd found out about my death. After all, Arin was too empathetic. And my death, it seemed too sudden. I didn't want to die like that either. Not before I could tell her what I truly feel.
I'm so sorry Arin.
I just hope that wherever Arin was right now, she was doing better than me. I just wished that she would be happier and that smile of hers wouldn't falter anymore.
Maybe in another life again, maybe I'll see you then.
