The Echo of My Soul
From my childhood, I was living a mixed life. Was I blessed or was I cursed? I had a contrary view over my life. But I was never alone despite everyone around me abandoning me. Another voice was echoing through me, telling me to not be afraid. At one point, I almost succumbed into a life under the shadow, but someone eventually pulled me out of it and placed me under the spotlight. I thought I was freed forever, but the Echo told me that I was wrong. And it was all proven true on the day I discovered the true face of my beloved, who cheated on me without any shame. That day, I felt my world breaking apart. We were always together, I thought we would be together forever. Like some sort of beautiful fantasy. Silly, yet warm. Somewhere I could escape to. A home. It wasn't too much. But somehow, it all started that day. Or did it start before it? I don't remember. My memories are failing me. He told me I shouldn't stay. He told me I'll only get hurt no matter how I try to please him. He did not lie… Then, why did it hurt so much? Maybe because I truly loved him, seeing him with another had me broken to pieces. It wasn't fun, but… It wasn't the worst. That day, I finally decided. ‘Leave.’ It was as if a trigger had been pulled, and my life moved again in a hectic direction. I've met people I thought I won't be meeting again, and was stranded between so many fights of interests. I could only fight for myself there. This time, not only the Echo was with me. Another person was there, supporting me unconditionally. Giving me the confidence to move. Still, I will forever wonder… What choice is the right one? I guess I'll never know until I reach my destination.
Annoyance (pt.2)
Alastor felt something was off once he left the Sun test.
It was not something he could explain, just a little feeling that told him he should be careful. But overall, it was not that dangerous, either.
For him, however, it was not nothing.
'I'm starting to be such a worrywart with how easy these tests are becoming.'
Those tests were supposed to be dangerous, so why were they this easy to deal with? That fact made him more than worried.
Which made sense but also did not at the same time. If the tests were going smoothly, he should be happy and try to finish them off with the same pace he was doing.
That was what Alastor did many times before, and the results were always nice.
However, for some unknown reason to him, his stomach churned whenever he tried to take a light step forward.
'I'm not sure if this is a sign or just me turning
into a coward.'
It could have been both as well.
