River of Time

I finally have something to add here again... I got home from work... and I just wanted to write this... I would say it takes a neutral perspective in the emotional spectrum, but I'm very pleased with it... enjoy!

Note: The random words at the end, I made it all up, it doesn't mean anything, and no I'm not going to write a Chronian Language... I just felt like making something random, and Manu Du Vortis is actually Latin for Watch in Awe...

The River of Time

Life… it is so complicated… but in the end so simple… so chaotic… and yet so peaceful… so evil… and yet so kind… There is darkness… but in the end light… Despair… but in the end hope… We are but vessels in the river of time… slowly drifting towards the shores of destiny… Where we embark, and when we drift astray are all governed by the winds of Fate… Yet we are in control of the sails… Life is an endless contradiction… A tide in the swirling pools… Nothing is ever expected… nothing is ever truly known… nothing is ever truly understood… We stand here… in this point in time… hand in hand, singing our song to those who will answer the call… Darkness is around every corner… and behind that shroud lies the uncertainty of the future… The one riddle that no scholar can ever solve… There is no shortcut down the River of Time… There is no seeing the future… Nothing is written… but the fate that exists in each of us… We have been given the will… and the power to control the path which we take… and yet at the same time we are all lost to the will of Fate… I stand here… no longer alone on this path that I walk… No longer sailing alone down the river… I have all of you here with me… as we sing this song of ours… We sing of the freedom that has been promised to us… we sing of the glory that will one day cross our paths… we sing of the hope that brings us into that uncertain future… we sing of the Dreams that guide us in times of despair… With each passing day I forge another dream… another idea another spark to set off the fires of the mind… Even now I still Dream of the wonders that have still yet to cross my path… Destiny… and Love… Every sunset… Every starry sky… Every wind that has blown across my face… Every friend that has taken this path with me… Every friend who has abandoned it… the pain… The Joy… The Hope… the despair… The Happiness that has brought me here… and the sadness that has given me the strength to forge these notes… And yet even in this state of bliss… I am still to face a conflict inside my soul… not with myself… but with the Fate that watches all of us… that decides to make the world turn upside down… We stand together as we slowly drift down into the depths of chaos… but even as we fall… we have The Wings of each other to save us from the brink of destruction… Even when we are scattered we are together… Even when we are alone… we are all here… ready to catch the next to fall… And ready to welcome the next to rise… We each have our own battles to fight… Love to pursue… Destiny to create… and time to use… Each vessel has its own course to follow… no matter how similar… no voyage is the same… And while we may not end up together… while the current may take us to distant places… and after these moments go by we may never see each other again… but as The River continues to flow… the moments that bring us here together down this place are forever etched into the waters… Each memory… each vessel leaves behind its own scar upon the world… it is up to the captain to decide if it be a Beacon of Hope… or a Cringe of Terror… So what is inside my vessel? I have a ship full of Dreams… and though it has been a lonely voyage so far… I do not always worry of that… I know the stars will shine for me some day… I know that I will embrace the future that is meant for me… and I will face the struggles that this river brings to me… I no longer fear the winds of Fate… I will continue towards the Shores of Chronia… Where I shall find the Blade of Dreams… and Face My Hero’s Brother… The Hero I want to become… The Master of this River… He has shown me the way so far… and even still he guides me… but the day will come when I ascend… and take that name… and hold that blade… and bind my soul to his… We shall become one… as I search for She who will hold my hand… my Mana… The Legend… no… the Prophecy… it is unfolding even now… and though I may never truly find the Wings of Time… or hold Shi’Te’Ku in my hands… I may never hold the power to change the tides to the River of Time… I may never Fly… but I will always keep sailing… My life is no longer bound to these winds… I have broken free form the chains of fate… and I have freed myself from the void inside… The next step is to find you… for I cannot face this Destiny alone… Where are you? Who Are you? When will I find you? I do not know how long I will look… but I know I will find you… And these questions will no longer be the burden of my soul… This Destiny is ours to share… and We shall face it together… Mi’Thalas Dim No’roth Le Shi’Te’Ku… U’Thirak Shin’baria nok Chronia… To embrace the Blade of Dreams… is to return to Chronia… Manu du vortis… Watch in awe… This is the beginning… the start of the Journey… of the Crimson Dreamer…
