Beyond The Well (don’t read if you haven’t read TWATWK)!!!

~Prologue~

It has been a year since the war and sacrifice of the throne warden of Anniera. The sky is blue, the grass is green, and there is peace in Anniera.

My children are growing, and l am getting older. I was there, l saw what he did, but did it heal me? No, did it heal my children? No. This pain l feel, why wouldn’t it go away? Why can’t l just be happy? When the war was finally over, my family and l made a permanent home in Clovenfast. I thought, l thought somehow l would feel different even if l wasn’t healed, but somehow someway, l still feel a hole inside of my heart like something is missing, something I haven’t felt in for many years, and something l may never feel again. I was only happy for a second, or at least that’s how l felt, since my wife died, l just can’t do anything. She was my everything, and somehow, l can’t barely remember her, or maybe l just don’t want to. If l could, l would go back, back to how l use to be, someone who could help, someone who could heal. I can’t even remember most of my old self or future, but l thought l would! Even though l wasn’t healed, l thought at least l would remember! I feel like the Maker doesn’t listen; even if l pray to him, l feel stupid. I feel like l deserve more, I’ve done so much in my old life, but other people were rewarded with what l should have been. I need to go, l need to find something, something that will help me, that will help my children. But where would l go? What do l have? How would l find someone, something to heal my children and me. I’m tired, exhausted even, and yet all l do is sit here and write all day until my fingers hurt. Write about how l feel, what l don’t have that l should, my wife, and what l remember about her, at least. Urgg! I’m so frustrated! I have nothing now! Why can’t l have what they have?! I’m going, going somewhere, even if l don’t know l need to, l need to find something. Will l come back? Will this journey be dangerous? What will happen to my children if l don’t make it back? How will they survive without a father? No, l need to do this, for myself, for my wife, and for my family.
