He left me. I felt my heart shatter into a million peices. The pain of losing him was unbearable. I layed my head on his chest, and cried until I could no more. He had given me so much in the past 3 years. I remembered his final words to me. "I love you, Cordelia. Never forget that." I had loved him too, more than anything. I remembered him holding my hand, only a few minutes ago, saying he never wanted to leave me. I grabbed his hand once again, and kissed it. I whispered. "Thank you, Jin. You have given me some of my brightest days. I shall never forget you."
              .... the next day...
The pain of losing him was still as strong as it had been the moment he had left me. I wondered if it would ever go away. I suited up for battle. It was my duty and I had to stick to it. When I got to the village on my horse, everyone asked me the same question. Where was Jin? I couldn't answer the question without having an emotional breakdown, so I kept silent. The village was being attacked by the same enemy who killed my one true love. I struck him down, knowing he would heal even though I defeated him. It made me angry. After he revived, he admited defeat and ran. I sunk to the ground with tears in my eyes, knowing I could never get revenge on the man for what he had done to Jin. I screamed after him. "Why did you do this? Why did you leave me with this pain, you brutal villan?! I can't stand it! You will pay!" My screams of anger turned into silent sobs. "I want you to pay...This pain...This heartbreak...you will....you will never get away with this." I fell to my hands and knees as I sobbed harder. Everyone stood, looking at me. I could tell they knew. They knew Jin was dead. One of them kneeled down beside me. I turned away, still sobbing. He put his hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me. I turned around slightly, facing Stahl. I let him help me up. There was concern in everyone's eyes. I mounted my horse and took off toward home. I could not continue my day like this. I went home and up to my bedroom. But I couldn't bring myself to open the door. I hated the silence that was surrounding me at that moment. I went back downstairs and into the geust room. There was a bed in there, so I lay there and cried myself to sleep. I missed him so much. He was my one true love, and that evil man took him away from me. I was angry at the cold hearted, evil being who killed Jin. He would pay, one way or another.
                  .... 5 weeks later....
I was learning to bear the pain a little, but only a little. I still missed Jin deeply, and there would forever be a hole in my heart. I had finally found the strength to go into my room upstairs about a week ago. Today I was a little stronger against the pain, forever squeezing my heart. I pulled on my armor and looked in my mirror. I smiled for the first time in a while. I knew Jin was still with me in spirit, and I felt somewhat comforted by that thought. I rode off on my horse, prepared to battle. But as I entered village after village, not a single one had been attacked.
                   ....3 months later....
I woke from my bed. The sunlight shone bright through my small window. I wondered if it might be my love, shining his light on the world. I decided to go over to his old place, and see the things he left behind. It brought back memories. Good ones and bad ones, but each memory of him was specail. I found a notebook on his nightstand and opened it. I looked at the first page, which said "To cordelia, my love." I flipped to the next page. It was his diary. I sat down on his bed, and turned on the light. I read the first entry to myself.

"Dear diary,
December 31st

What a wonderful way to end the year and start a new one. I found my true love today.  Her name is Cordelia. We've been talking for quite a while actually, but today she told me she loved me. I got a deep gash on my shoulder today in battle. It's because I'm not from this world. I'm a mortal. Cordelia brought me home tonight, and helped me fix my wound. She's a very smart woman. I love her so much."  I was in tears. I closed Jin's diary and took it with me as I headed for home. This diary was Jin's words. His feelings, his emotions, and above all his and I's love story. I knew this diary would help me through a lot more to come.
