There was an Arrow who was getting tired of his pointy life. Until one day, he woke up feeling heavier than usual. He woke up with a Heart pierced through him.
"Whose heart are you and how did you get here?" the Arrow asked. But there was no reply. The Arrow was feeling heavy because he was not used to it. So he started searching for the owner of the Heart because it was weighing on him.
The Arrow asked everyone he met, if they owned the Heart. Everyone denied the Heart was theirs. Some would say, "No, that's not my heart." or "No, but I feel I might soon."
As the Arrow continued the search, he noticed the Heart was getting lighter. He didn't know why, probably the Heart is losing weight, he is gaining strength, or the Heart may have been able to carry itself.
They pass another, who asked the Arrow: "Excuse, but have you been looking for the one who has lost that heart?" the Heart did not reply. The heart didn't need to. The heart just slowly moved back from the arrow. Slowly. Very Slowly. Until the Heart is no longer pierced through the Arrow.
THE HEART MOVED ON.
The Arrow who used to have a Heart pierced through him tried to move on but he was too heavy, and he was dragging himself down. The Arrow could not understand why felt heavier when he actually no longer had the load of carrying somebody's Heart.
The Arrow tried to go back to his old, pointy life and every day, he would wake up feeling heavier than usual. But there was no Heart pierced through him each time. So the Arrow decided to be patient and just try to be the old Arrow that he was before he became the Arrow with a Heart pierced through him. So he can live normally again. And He did.
One day, he just woke up feeling a little stranger than usual. The Arrow woke up being tired of his pointy life again. Until he heard a question too familiar that it was not strange at all.
"Excuse me, but have you lost your heart?"
The Arrow was surprised. It was the Heart who used to be pierced through him. And there was no reply. The Arrow and the Heart didn't need any.
