Eternal Light

Chapter 17 Blacksmith Fusion

Minds are fragile, they can be bruised and damaged as a result memories can be irreversible, a bruise- swelling to a mind can often heal depending on the damage. But a bruise to a memory, once traumatised the mind will quickly seek refuge from the harsh reality that it sees. One who is unable to cope will often shroud themselves to protect the raw pain until they either forget it completely or will be ready to push past it. Sadly even if they remember the trauma can be too much for to cope, it causes the soul to be in a sense of turmoil until the pain goes. However one can push past it, help is never a bad thing. It means you are trying to fight against the fear and will try to rise from it, even if it means one step forward two steps back at least you were able to show that you are one the right path. Be not afraid of faltering or falling, you will persevere, you can fight for you've lasted this long. You may hit rock bottom but in truth you can't get any lower than that, that part will be in your mind telling you to give up. You will have no other path except to go up so take your first step forward, it's okay to stagger just imagine you're grabbing a rope that leads you forward. Don't let go, cling on to it for dear life if you have to.

Don't let yourself vanish, you can do so much. You only have to believe and believe you can.

Even if the world seems like it's against you, if you look closer. There is someone or a group who are waiting for you, they will always be there, they will always wait for you. Even if you can't see them.

Never forget

Believe dear child

We are always there

Just look inside

Our memories will always provide comfort

Whenever you're feeling alone

Never give up, just grab that rope and walk

One step after the other, if you are scared

Baby steps my friend,

Baby steps

"What name did you come up with?" a feline with two tails asked with a curious look on his face, the woman smiled softy as she held her babies close to her to her bosom.

"$%@#€ %₩@$#, don't you think it suits her? I wanted to name her after our ancestor" the woman smiled with a sad soft smile while the feline's eyes widened in shock, not believing his ears "despite all that has happened, I believe that there is still good inside. He just needs someone to help him see things in a different way" the mother replied with a wise kind smile, the feline remained sullen as memories of killing his master entered his mind.

"Do... do you think that he will be brought back?" the feline asked with a hesitant look, her smile never left her face.

"Well Matamune, if you want proof? Look at us. We're one of the living proofs that there has to be some good left. Give it time kitty cat" the woman said with a knowing crafty smile as she saw him bristle from the nickname.

"Who told you about that name?" he asked with a curious look. Looking at her daughter she smiles.

"A mother knows"

His eyes narrowed from hearing her cryptic words.

Hao clenched the sides of his head as he stared at the lake with fear filled eyes, his hands shook while gripping his hair. His hands even after gaining the anchor had been unable to stay still, his heart was beating rapidly from just looking at his reflection who stared back at him with a look that unsettled him. Fear shouldn't be bothering him. In his mind had nothing to lose and yet his erratic beating heart was in denial to his shock, it continued to beat even to the point he was sure that it would either explode or shoot out of his chest as a series of emotions continued to consume him.
