TANGLED TALES

A cry of a child.

° Part 1 °

•••||||•••°°||

You're a gifted child, one of a kind with a brilliant brain and unique abilities, and you're aware of it, you used your gift and tried to help those people in this small lovely village you called home, as much as you can, but it came the time when your plans didn't work, when your schemes failed and people couldn't forgive those mistakes of yours, they couldn't see how much you actually tried to make things right, how much you tried to help, how much you still try to help, and they don't accept what you're trying to give, what you're eager to give but does it really matter to you? No. No matter how much they hated what you're doing , no matter how much they disapproved your actions, you still try and you still help, because you know you can and 'cause there's a certain person that you want him to see the special in you, a person that you want to prove yourself to, a person that you want to make him proud of you, the only member left of your family, your father.

And there you are, trying as hard as you can to make everyone impressed by showing what you're capable of, and through your struggle, a very special quest comes to your hand, the princess of the whole kingdom herself has come to your door and asked for your help, it doesn't matter if she thought you were a wizard or whatever, the important thing is that she needs help, she has a problem and you're so excited to solve it! You get a little bit flattered when you find how friendly she was, telling you to call her by her name, letting you feel as thought you're a friend of hers. And after your try at helping her, another scheme of yours blows up, literally, and again you have done a disaster, people are hating on you, you have been known as a wizard of no good, it all felt like that's true now.

Time passes and you try to make it up to everyone, to fix what's gone wrong and make good of yourself. And you get a new special person in your mind that you want to impress, a woman that saved your life and your young heart got feelings for her, you find the chance and seize it, this wasn't a chance to impress only her, but many people of your land interested in the same major as you, science. She doesn't pay much attention for you at first, then you make a deal with her and things seem to go just the way you wanted as you work very hard to accomplish your share of the deal, really hard. And when it comes the time for her to do her part, she puts her own ambition over you, and she can't help you. But do you get mad? Do you feel angry at her? Do you even show her how much hurt you felt knowing that you're not that important to her? No. No you don't, because that is not you, you don't get mad on people, you respect them and their troubles, knowing that it wouldn't change anything if you got mad, or would it?
Stupid adults who think they know what they're doing mess up with your own brilliant invention and cause a disaster, but it's your invention and you are the one to take responsibility, and with help of those that you considered were friends you stop it, she apologizes to you and you look up to her as the best friend you've never had! And the princess is back with that problem, which has know become a threat to your dear village, the princess says that you all are going to solve the problem, together, that she needs your help in order to solve it, and what do you say, what do you say to a friend in need?

"You can count on me."

Time passes, and you're in your village, working to defeat that danger threatening your land, because you feel the responsibility and you know that you're somehow able to help, somehow. You can't tell why but your father is trying so hard to keep you away, you figured that it was out of the feeling that you're going to hurt yourself or that you're going to cause another disaster, either way you don't listen, feeling confident about yourself, and you know that something has to be done, then your father, being the leader of your village, tells you that something is being done, and that he will go to see the king, you travel with him, you want to get inside and be a useful person by telling the knowledge you have of that threat, but children has no place in court.
Your father goes in, and the second thing you know is that your trust in anything has been cracked, your own father lied to the king, your own father lied, he wasn't trying to solve the problem, he was trying to run away! Your village was being destroyed and he wouldn't even listen to you when you argued, when tried to tell him that running away isn't going to fix a problem, but he says that it was enough, you feel small under the stoic looks of your father, and you don't want to get to his other side, the side that you fear facing. You feel helpless, and the world darkens around, but then she comes and lightens up the world, the princess asks you what happened, she actually cares about you, she was a true friend that you looked up to, and she promised you that everything is gonna be okay, that their agreement wasn't forgotten and they will figure it out together. She promised.
