Prologue
It all happen when I visited this village and meet this guy and everything in my life just turn upside down.
Once upon a time I meet a guy with a chinito eyes, cute face, brilliant smile and oh! He got dimples that add more cuteness in him. Yes, his handsome, he got a nice attitude, his also sweet, caring and supportive. He lives a simple, happy life with his loving family. I meet him in a village where rumors said that a dragon leaves there and fell asleep for a long time. Once the dragon will be awake in its deep sleep it can cause chaos and bring death to their village. Many villagers agreed on that rumor for they can feel and hear a loud snoring coming from a huge cave. People are terrified and scared.
As I arrive
to that town, I accidentally bumped to that guy. As he notice that I’m a new
face around he politely offered me a place to stay. Since I'm not familiar to
that place and scared with the rumors, I followed him. As we arrived in his humble
abode I meet his cute, cheerful little sister and his caring mom. They offer me
something to eat and insist that I stay for the night because I might not find
a place to stay in. I consider myself lucky meeting this kind of people.
As the
night came, I know more things about the cute guy and his family. His dad work
in the other village to support their family and his mom is a housewife during
her spare time his mom would teach the children in the village. He really loves
his little sister and his family is so important to him.
As the
morning came, I was really happy spending my time with the cute guy and his
cheerful sister. We went to the mountains and play. We bathe in the crystal
clear river and start fishing. We caught big fish i mean he caught big fish
while I didn't catch a single one. He laughs at me because I didn't catch a
single fish. I pouted. He pats my head and said I’m cute when I’m annoyed. He is
really skillful. When the sun is about to set we walked home. While walking,
the shoelace of my shoes accidentally untied. I was surprised because he kneels
down and ties it. His little sister fell asleep on his back on our way home
because of tiredness. He held my hand because I might get lost. So under the
stars, we walked together holding each other hands. This is the first time I
can feel that my heart beats so fast.
As we
arrive in their house, his mom looks so worried. And that change everything.
People in their village were so worried and scared because a cynic is planning
to wake the dragon! Everyone panic and terrified. The cute guy looks at his
little sister and his mother then he declared he will fight the cynic and fight
the dragon. His mom opposed and they disputed. He explained the reason why he
wants to fight the dragon, he doesn't want to see the village get burned and
people die. He wants a future for his little sister- a bright future. And he wants
his family to live a happy life without any fear of something.
People
start screaming and running because the dragon has awakened. It's too late the
cynic successfully wake the dragon up. The cute guy is determined to battle the
cynic and the dragon. When he was running to the cave where the dragon lies, I
didn't notice my foot is running with him. I am running with him. I am also
going to fight the dragon with him. He stops when he saw me. But he can't stop
me, I want to help him. I want to be with him. I’m going to fight with all my
might with him. I know we can do this.
We arrived
at the cave. We saw a huge dragon. Its teeth are so sharp and the dragon
breathes fire! The dragon looks so angry. The cynic laugh-an evil laugh and
said “You’re too late dear hero’s you can’t defeat the dragon! You don’t have
the power to stop it. You’re lame and weak! Haha!” The boy didn't mind the
cynic instead he focuses on how to beat the dragon. The dragon breathes fire on
the spot where we stood. The both of us run to avoid the blazing fire. I could
see the determination in the eye of the cute guy. He really wants to save his
village from the dragon and defeat the cynic. The guy run at the back of the
dragon to stab it but the dragon was so powerful and fierce. He waves its tail
to hit the guy but luckily he avoids the tail and climbed in the back of the
dragon. With his sword he stabs the dragon in the back. The dragon screams in
agony. The dragon move fiercely and the boy was about to fall! And he was hit
by the tail of the dragon. The cynic was planning to shoot an arrow to the cute
guy but with all my might and strength I shoot an arrow to the cynic before he
could do it on the guy. Luck was on me because I shoot the cynic in the arm. He
cried in pain and scream. I was about to go near to the cynic but in my
surprise he chant a magic spell and vanish! Leaving the cute guy and me in the
cave fighting an enormous dragon.
Even if the
guy stabs the dragon in the back, the dragon was still in its full shape. I
shoot the dragon with all my arrows and the guy fight the dragon with its sword
but still the dragon was strong. It seems like hope is no where to be found in
our situation. Then I stumble down while avoiding the fire the dragon breathe
then I landed on a rocky part of the cave and I got wounded by a sharp object
and I’m losing a lot of blood. My vision got blur but still I can sense that
the guy was running in my position and screaming my name. The guy held my head
and he set aside his sword. I could feel tears falling from his eyes. He utters
a lot of words but I couldn't figure out what he was saying. I only want to see
his cute face once again. I want to touch his face. It was a short time I spend
with this guy and his family but I get along with them. I enjoy being with
them. Being with him. Is this the ending of everything? Am I going to die here?
Will I ever see his face again? See his smile? Hear his laugh? I want to know
him better. I want to spend more time with him. Then I could sense that
something is shining so bright. It’s like the whole place is shining then the
guy place my head and he stood up.
The next
thing I know was I am laying in a bed my whole body aches and my arm hurts. I
was surprise seeing a familiar face sleeping in the edge of the bed with his
head down. Even if he got bruised and wounds, he still got that cute face and
an angelic face while sleeping. I wonder how long did he wait for me to be
awake. Then he moves a bit and now he is awake. He saw me staring at him then
he come near with a worried face. He asked me if I’m feeling a bit better. I
can’t believe it I’m 2 days unconscious! He then calls his mom and little
sister that I am now awake. They gather beside my bed. His mom smiles at me and
his little sister give me a warm hug. After that his mom went to the kitchen to
get some soup for me together with his little sister leaving the cute guy and
me in the room again. While we were in the room alone I asked what happen back
there in the cave and what was that glowing and shining thing. Before he could
answer his mom arrive in the room with the soup and the guy decided to go
outside to get some fresh air.
Her mom
then sat beside my bed placing the soup in the table. I was really shock of
what her mom said. Half of me can’t believe what happened. Back at the cave, it
was the cute guy’s sword that glows. The guy sword was said to be a magical
sword. A long time ago, a wizard meets a princess who loves snow. They knew
each other and spend a lot of times together. They fall in love. One day the
king found out that her daughter is having an affair with a wizard. He called
his soldiers and commands them to bring the wizard in front of him to punish
him. The wizard came to the palace and explains his self that he is not a bad
wizard and he doesn't have any bad intention to the princess. He loves the
princess the most that he can do anything for her. He asks the king and the
queen for the hand of their lovely daughter. But instead of giving the
happiness of their daughter, the king challenges the wizard. They will only
allow them to be together if the wizard can kill the enormous and scary dragon
living in the north. Many soldiers try to kill that dragon but all of them
failed. The king challenges the wizard to kill the dragon without using his
magic spells and would only use a sword. The wizard accepts the challenge for
he loves the princess and would do anything just to spend forever with her.
Then in a snowy day he travels to the north. Without any clue, the princess
escaped in the palace and follows the wizard. The wizard arrives at the north.
His very determine to kill the dragon. The princess was about to approach the
wizard but she notices that a soldier was about to shoot an arrow to the wizard.
She run to the wizard and hug him. The arrow didn’t harm the wizard because he
was protected by the princess. The arrow that was supposed to be shoot to the
wizard was shoot to the princes. The wizard was very astonished seeing the
princess losing a lot of blood. The wizard held the princess head. The princess
tells the wizard how much she loves him and how happy she was knowing him. The princess
dies in the arms of the wizard in a showy day. The wizard cries his heart out.
He then grab his sword and chant a magic spell to it. The sword can damage
anything. It can kill a enormous dragon, huge beast, it can cause chaos and war
if it is place on a wrong hand and can bring peace and unity if handed to a
person with a pure and kind heart. But the sword can only show its real power
and strength if the one holding it can find his better half. Then the wizard
kills himself by the sword. The wizard and princess die in the same place
holding each others hand. And by then they spend forever together in the next life.
The mother of
the cute guy leaves me in the room after telling me the myth and feeding me the
soup. Back in the cave, when the cute guy’s sword glow he stabs the dragon in
the eye and the dragon turn into a huge ice statue. The cute guy then cut into
pieces the ice statue. While I was in a deep thought in the room the cute guy
enter without any permission. He was really relieved that I am okay and he is
very happy that I’m still alive. After that I rest and sleep. The next day, I
gain my strength though my body still aches a bit.
While sitting in the garden, the cute guy approach me. He then said what his heart really feel. The first day he saw me he has this urge to help me because he is comfortable with me. The night when we first talk and he knew some stuff about me, his more eager to know me better. He just don't want to know my name and background. He wants to know my story. He can smile every time he saw me. Back then, when I was in the cave, fighting with the dragon, he was scared because I might get hurt but in the other side he was happy for I am besides him. And when I was injured and the sword shine and he knew about the myth, he now know why he is feeling happy when i'm with him. It's because he found his better half. He found me.
Hearing all those stuffs give me butterflies in my stomach. I am happy for I feel the same way too. Yes, we just meet. We barely know each other. We are strangers. But I guess that's love. You don't know the reason why your heart beats fast when you're with him, it just did. I don't care if I need to fight dragons with him. No matter how many battles and wars we face as long as i'm with him, I can survive- we can survive everything.
Then he knelt down and said, "Lovenwell Stanford, can you be the Queen in my life and spend forever with me?" A tear fell, then I replied "You are my knight and Yes Renz Stylinson, let's spend forever my King. "
