Prologue
I tried to hold onto the light that flickered in my eyes. It seemed as though I had let down the whole world. I closed my eyes and memories swirled inside my mind. I pictured my life ten years prior. I saw the land of Riverwind, my family, and my precious friend Meadow. But these feelings only swallowed my heart with loneliness and sorrow. My chest felt empty and heavy at the same time. I didn’t want to see these memories anymore but I couldn’t bring myself to open my eyes. Without hope all the life I longed to see seemed to be clouded by darkness. Memories that were once dressed in color, were painful paintings of black and white that hung upon the walls of my past. What about the future? What if all the shadows that held on like cobwebs in the corners of my heart did not determine the purpose for my life? What if ever hurt and scar did not define the truth of who I am? What if there isn’t an answer to all my questions? Should I still hold onto the flame that flickers in my eyes? How can I believe in anything if I can't see the truth? My mind was covered in a sea of questions. I finally managed to open my eyes. When I opened them I was sorry for doing even that.
That was really well written!
