Distance

Does Distance is the Answer to Avoid a Painful Heart?

In a world that seemed so cold with endless battles. A city so empty and yet so crowded with rows of complex buildings. A time where anything will bring pain and sacrifices, where hesitation can prove to be one's fatal mistake.

Just another night in this empty city and here she is - feeling alone once again. Lying in quiet thoughts inside her cold and dark room. Knowing that another match has been marked in victory, but it didn't matter for her. For this princess who had broken wings, this is just another empty victory within her. Like having an empty heart when the one who once protected her vanished into nothingness...

Many dreams dared to be unspoken... no matter how many ways she tried to recollect those memories. How much pain does it bring in her heart when seeing the one who carried the same face but with a different soul. Yet, she must remain strong for the sake of the unknown future and probably... for his very own and unseen fate.

On the other side of the room, stood a young man who has the heart of the determined warrior. In the shadows, he sat upright on his bed with his hands on his knees as endless thoughts rushed him by. Another win he gave and swore to her, but it was of no use... for she'll never try to set her eyes upon him to avoid the pain in her own heart.

So much time passed when he was sealed inside, he watched every movement and every gesture from this young princess. Now finally free and being with her, her silence towards him brought so much pain. A pain in which was more inflicting than the ones he received from each tournament battle.

One thing has always remained on his mind - something that can never be forgotten, even if he has imprisoned his open heart. The way this young princess had cared for everyone that surrounded her. The magician who has shown loyalty and gave his allegiance to assist on her quest. The quiet ninja who is unable to show emotions in front of everyone, but knows that he'll protect her. The odd creature who gives cheerfulness even through the most difficult times.

What can he do for her? He swore to protect something that is important to him and she was all that he ever had on his life. She's always been there, doing her best - even without her full memories. Trying with all her best... no matter how painful fate and the future can become.

Would he dare to give himself into her? It's not right, but the way he look into those emerald eyes... it felt like the man he ever wanted to be. Feeling inside his heart, he wanted to care for her and be stronger for her. That's why one of the many reasons he needs her now.

There were ways that she understood what must be done to save him on this hard journey. There were reasons that he knows she's the one that makes him feel the person that he is.

No matter the distance she tries to put on him. Or the barriers she places during his presence... he won't stop until he can try to bring the smallest smile on her gentle face. A smile that can try to have any kind of love that was destined to be shared.

Maybe it was the only thing that seem so real... this young princess was all that he ever need.
