• "This was the day,
    That I fell in love
    For the first time."
    - Vanshee, the greatest warrior.



    It was a time where the war between the group of species going against each other. Of course there is me in a group, fighting for freedom. I wasn't aware about after the war, because, who really cares after the war. I mean, there is like people who cry because of their friend died, who cheer because the war is over, even that, people commit suicide because they felt like this world is too cruel. Am I wrong ?

    I guess, for me, was a bit different. As soon as the peace treaty was signed, I went to visit my parents. Since my house was in a country-side, I had to walk a few miles. This is where I met this one girl, that I want to talk about. When I first saw her, I didn't understand what kind of clothes she was wearing. All I knew was that she was somewhat from the future. I also noticed that she needed a help, because someone has caged her. I put the girl outside, and that was the time where I should've noticed something.

    "Thank you, warrior. My name is Yomu, and I was trapped here for almost a year.." Her voice was so cute. I barely stood it, too. I was red like a rose, and without speaking a single word, I took her to my house. Not because I wanted to say I wanted to marry her right in front of my parents, but just to keep her safe in our home.

    She and I talked for a while in my room, with the door open, because guys with manners are great, right ? So then, time passed. About a month from that day. I woke up early in the morning, and I didn't see Yomu. I thought she was in the bathroom, so I went ahead to check on her, she was found in nowhere.

    I ran out the house, looking around, calling her name, then I saw her up on the mountain top. I ran, as fast as I could, but after reaching to her distance, what I saw, was a total disaster. The war has broken down again, and the peace treaty was burning behind those warriors.

    One of the enemy spotted us, and they charged at me and Yomu. I had no other choice, but to fight and hide somewhere. I grabbed my dagger and long sword, as I quickly moved around to save Yomu. But, I was too focused in one side, and an enemy already was about to strike on Yomu. I saw, and ran towards her to take the stab on the head and attack back.

    I should've noticed something here. The fate of me has changed since meeting Yomu. I don't know if she was a spy, or just a prophet. She said that I will die by saving someone. Well, at least she wasn't wrong about this.

    After saving her, I fell to the ground, bleeding from my head. I took her under the mountain, although it was Yomu who took me down there. Yomu was crying, trying to wipe the blood off, but it was already stained into my skin.

    "..It was nice meeting you. I would've said that I loved you from the first sight. However.. I feel like I still would live another life, meeting another you.. I feel like I will die anytime soon, so.. Goodbye, forever, Yomu."

    I don't know what happened next, but all I remembered was that I was there living with her. When I died, I saw nothing but black, then I was born into the world again, but it was 201X. Now I see why her clothes were like that before, because she was there to tell me that I was going to die soon, and live a life again.

    I think I remembered this story because of mom telling me something like this. I think that the name Vanshee back then wasn't popular, still isn't now too. Now that I walk on the old trail from that country-side, and see the tree like the story before. It sure was beautiful, but..

    "Yomu, I still see you. So stop hiding behind that tree. "
