Leo's Departure

Leo thought long and hard about what the village elder had told him. He didn't want to believe that he was the chosen one, that he had to leave his home and face a dark lord. He wanted to stay in his village, with his friends and family, with Mia.

But he also felt a strange pull, a sense of duty, a call to action. He felt that the village elder was telling the truth, that his vision was real, that his destiny was waiting for him.

He decided to leave his village and find the Sunblade. He decided to fulfill his prophecy.

He packed his belongings, took his sword and bow, and mounted his horse. He went to say goodbye to his friends and family, who were shocked and saddened by his decision.

He hugged his foster father, the village elder, who gave him his blessing and some advice.

He said:

Leo, my son, I'm proud of you for choosing this path. I know it's not easy, but it's the right thing to do. You have a great destiny ahead of you, and I'm sure you'll make us all proud. Remember these words: be brave, be wise, be good. And may the gods watch over you.

He hugged his friends, who wished him good luck and promised to wait for him.

He said:

Thank you, my friends, for your support and friendship. You are like brothers and sisters to me, and I'll miss you all. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. And I'll be back soon.

He hugged Mia, who cried in his arms and begged him not to go.

She said:

Leo, please don't leave me. I love you more than anything in this world. You are my soulmate, my everything. How can I live without you? Please stay with me.

He kissed her gently, and looked into her eyes.

He said:

Mia, I love you too. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. You are my light, my hope, my reason for living. But I have to do this. I have to save the world from the dark lord. It's my destiny. And it's yours too. You are part of my prophecy, remember? We'll see each other again, I promise. And then we'll be together forever.

He kissed her again, and then let her go.

He said:

Goodbye, Mia. I love you.

He rode away from his village, into the unknown.

He didn't know if he would never see it again.
