As the wind rolls by, I sit upon a rock on that cliff, overlooking the sea. The day begins to wither away, as a crimson haze spreads across the horizon. The wind blowing sand in my face. I still sit, watching the waves roll into the shore. Soon, the sun sets, and night falls upon the earth, the wind howls, and the demons begin to walk the earth. As the stars begin to shine their light, and the water becomes black. Still, I gaze at the horizon, just slightly visible, waiting. Waiting for the light to return, when the sun rises behind my soul, and the light pours across the sky. So I can see the tide roll in, and drift away, and so I can see that crimson haze, as the day withers into oblivion, and the demons return, always thinking of the light, when the evil that walks the earth, returns to the darkness that it spawned from.
4 years have passed since then... and I thought I should return... so I wrote this... enjoy!
Return
Here I stand upon this place… a cliff… looking over the sea… My head held high towards the sunset on the horizon… The wind whispers in my ear… an echo to the serenity that surrounds me… but wait… this all seems very familiar… Yes… I’ve been here before… This is the place I began my journey… those many years ago… It was here that I set down my path… and began to sing the Dreamer’s song… The Chronicles of The Crimson Dreamer… they began here… with me… standing upon this very rock… looking out towards the sunset… My world was so different then… I was young… I was scared… I was lost… My world was full of evil… I was the last spec of light… in a world full of darkness… There was so much pain… so little hope… It so much… but I started down the path of the Dreamer… knowing what stood in my way… 4 years have passed since that day… So much has changed since then… Here I stand… 4 years older… 4 years wiser… 4 years stronger… So many questions have been answered… I finally have a purpose in my life… I’ve mastered the ability to forge dreams… I have faced an entire society to the point of acceptance… and I have destroyed a void that has tormented me since I started this journey… This world of mine… it is not as evil as I had once thought… I’ve opened many eyes in this place… and while no one here sings the song… I have found others who will… Many of them… who have listened to my stories… and begun to create paths of their own… And what is most important to me… I have found light in others… people out there who do not hide behind a mask… people who show the truth with every emotion… I can finally let go of the tapestry of lies that has shadowed me for so long… I have found my place in this world… I now know where my destiny lies… and I know what I must do to reach it… The sun slowly begins to set… and the moon rises into view… I see clouds overhead… Fate has brought them here… For beyond all my accomplishments… Despite the pain that I have overcome… and the challenges that I have faced… This path is still mine alone… My love has come and gone… passing from one set of eyes to the next… I’ve been searching for all these years… to find another soul to share this lonely path… Many a time I believed to have found one… but yet, I still stand here alone… It’s been a lonely 4 years… but if not for the pain that I have had to suffer… I would not be in the place I am today… I look up at those clouds… and tears fall from my eyes… No matter how brave… or strong… or willful I am… It still aches my heart to be standing here alone… I feel a cold chill down my spine… I have had to do something I’ve never had to do in my entire life… I had to close my heart… I can feel it beginning to blossom… For those special few that I have met… and I know that I cannot do that… I will not let myself open to a wall that only time can break through… I must seal these emotions… and not get involved in those affairs… It hurts… but It must be done… For I care not what happens to me… so long as they are able to fly together… I must remain in this place… with only one wing… unable to fly… until the time comes that I may find the soul that I have been searching for… and I will always be searching… For the truth that lies beyond the boundaries of time… As the wind rolls by… I stand upon a cliff… overlooking the sea… No longer afraid of the demons that once haunted my soul… but ready to face the next day… Ready to catch a falling friend… whoever they may be… I may not be able to fly… but nothing will keep me from trying… I will find my love in this world... and I will find my blade... and the wings of time shall return to this body... I will be called by the name that is rightfully mine once more... Hawk Dynedockia... The Master of Time... The heir to the world of Chronia... My Chronia... I'm going home...
