(Timeline-year 960)
"Father… are you leaving me because I have not been a good girl?" I said; my sob was louder than it has ever been, "If it is the reason…then please don't go, I promise I will be a good girl" I grab my father's-blood stained clothes in my fist as tears run down my cheeks.
"Elicia" he whispered, his voice was weak, weaker than it had ever been but loud enough to be heard in the dead silence. "You have to go from here... fast…and remember, you are a good girl. Take good care of your mother and your little sister" He paused, "Now, run-" he coughs blood. "Run away from here. Never come here again. You have to survive." His voice weakens every second. "Remember everything I taught you and use them. Take…good care of yourself, my lovely daughter." He bleeds, "Promise me you will live, promise me you will take care of your sister, never let her feel the absence of a father."
He smiled. Strands of his blond hairs fell on his forehead. His blue eyes looked at my face; his gaze was full of love and the next second-they closed. The world went silent.
That was the day when everything started.
"Father!" I shouted; while shaking his body as much as I could.
"Please. Please. I beg you, please don't go." I cried, only for it to go unheard. Not heard by a single soul. I knew it, but still begged, hoping it would somehow work-but it didn't. It never did.
My vision became blur from the tears I found hard to wipe out. His back was pressed against the wall. Many dead bodies covered the floor, but his was the one that mattered to me the most. He killed all of them for me.
He's gone. He left me alone. He promised me that he will always be with me, but he broke it.
I guess I am not worthy of such promises after all.
I wiped my tears but they were nonstop.
He's gone.
Does that mean I will never be able to meet him?
It can't be.
How can I live without him?
He's gone.
I stare at his body. The body that once was full of life. I kept staring. Taking in the moment. I just can't. I can't. I would never be. Never be able to live without him. Why was it all so sudden?
