Three Years

Chapter 1

*Aphmau's POV*
Three years. Three years of suffering. Three years of pain. Three years of missing him. Everything hurt. I didn't leave my house. For three years. I ignored pretty much everyone. For three years. I hated those two words. They reminding me of my mistakes and what I did to cause this.

I layed on my bed, staring at the ceiling. My face was covered in dried tears and new tears. It was the same thing every day. "Mama!" Alina shouted.
I turned my head to see her running over to my bed. I smiled, that same fake smile I've used for so long.
"Hey baby girl." I said, kissing her check. She smiled and waddled out of the room. She reminded me of him so much. I pushed that thought to the back of my mind, rolling over on my side. I looked out the window as I slowly drifted to sleep.

I woke up to a violent shake. I groaned and rubbed my eyes, sitting up.
"What?" I opened my eyes and saw Garroth.
"Hey, we need you. There is some business that needs to be handled and I thought I could get you to leave the house. Everything has changed these past three years." I cringed at the last two words, but nodded.
"I guess. Why not." I threw myself up off the bed and walked over to my dresser. I picked out some tan shorts and a torn t-shirt. After I ran a hand through my mess they called hair.
Once I was done I walked down the stairs and saw Elena playing with Levin. A real smile appeared this time. Levin looked up, and his face glowed.
"Mom!" He shouted, running into my arms. I held him tightly, never wanting to let go. It's been so long since I've seen him. "Hey Levin." I pulled back and wiped a tear forming in my eye.
"You've grown so much." I said. "Thank you. I try. How are you feeling?"
"Same as always." Depressed, lonely, unwanted, hated.
"You'll start to feel better I promise." I nodded. I kneeled down to Elena. I kissed her forehead and waved goodbye.
As I walked outside the light blinded me, but Garroth was right: the village had changed. A. Lot.
My eyes adjusted to the sunlight and I was able to see clear. Garroth came over, holding something behind his back.
"Before anything, I wanted to give this to you." He pulled out a purple and red baby dragon. I looked at her in awe. "Garroth... you didn't-"
"I did. I was hoping she would make you feel better." He handed me her with care.
I started to cry again. I put the dragon down and ran into Garroth's arms. He was suprised at first, but wrapped his arms around my waist.
I looked up at him and smiled. I mouthed thank you and he kissed my head lightly.
It's been a little while since I've been kissed by someone that wasn't family.
"So what are you going to name her?"
I thought for a little bit then it came to mind, "I'm going to name her Mirianth."
"It's beautiful." Garroth said. "Now onto the business. We have been requested to go find two heros and bring them to O'Khasis." I nodded. "Sounds simple enough. Let me get some things together and I'll meet you back out here." He nodded, as I trotted back inside. The house was quiet and Levin and Elena weren't around. I shrugged it off and went upstairs.
I grabbed a small satchel to put some food in. Also my sword. I threw the satchel over my head and it landed at my side. It was going to be weird going back out into the world after.... yeah.
I took a deep breath and let it out.
Here goes nothing. I thought walking out my front door. Garroth was leaning against the door frame. "Ready?" He asked. I sighed, nodding. "Alright. Let's go then."
We approached the gates and I looked back at the village I had spent so long in without leaving once. I looked down at Mirianth as she dug a small hole in the ground. I patted her head. She looked up at me and pounced on me.
I laughed and hugged her. She was utterly adorable. Garroth tapped my shoulder. "Yeah?"
"I think we should get going." He chuckled. I gently set Mirianth down on the ground.
"Quick question Garroth." He turned his head as we started to walk. "Yes?"
"Who's these two heros we have to save?"
He gulped. He said nothing. "Garroth who are they."
He let out a shaky breath, "The heros are, umm they are..."
"Spit it out!"
"Aaron and Lilith."
My heart stopped, and I couldn't move.
"..."
"I knew you'd be upset." Garroth said, grabbing my hand to help me walk.
I guess I should've figured seeing him. It has been....

Three years.
