Aquarina's Resolve

-----

(Aquarina's POV)

Since that day, I've been always thinking about how to grow stronger…

That day when… Sylphy almost died for me. I could still remember it vividly, even when it'll soon be a year since then. It has… been engraved on my soul.

Mommy and daddy always told me that when we go through hardships, our minds grow more mature… I suppose that's what happened to me. Every day since then, I'm always worried. I always think about ways I can grow stronger…

Sylphy… I don't want her to do this anymore… I don't want her to risk her life for me. I want to… protect her instead. I want her to be happy… I don't want her to suffer for me…

I'm so weak… it makes me so frustrated.

Mommy and daddy said that it's fine to be weak when I was so young. After all, I'm just four years of age, soon to be 5 in a few more weeks… at four years of age, I shouldn't have gone through all the things I did… or well, that's what they always told me.
