2 Lost Desires

Deep down are all the humans the same? They dream of power and unattainable riches. Yet they do not want to earn that status. What do you seek, Edward? In this world what desire you most?

"Juliana, I'm home." Edward opens the door waiting to see his wife. Gone for almost a year now he awaits to see her.

No one answers him, closing the door behind him he walked into his home. Everything is as he remembers it. As he was around a wave of nostalgia embarks him. 

"Juliana?" He says again but yet no answer. Walking forward he slowly checks each room as he passes. Each time the door creeps ajar revealing not a soul.

The wooden floor creaks under his foot with each step. The house is strangely quiet. He draws his sword making a long slink when drawn. Ready for anything he opens the door to the bedroom.

"Juliana…," he peeks inside.

His wife lays before him sleeping peacefully. Next to her is his newborn daughter. Overjoyed his grips lessen from his blade. The sword drops loudly to the ground waking up the mother of his child.

But sadly this never happened tis but a dream. Edward left for war yes, but return he did not. Nor did his daughter ever breathe life. The mother died during labor and the child shared her fate.

Where was Edward when his family needed him? Living his dreams, being a hero of the people. This world has no heroes, this world has no mercy.
