Dream: The Knight Who Loved Her Queen

Date: 8/1/2021

I placed my hands on the shoulders of this girl of barely 15. Her violet eyes sparkled before me. Her auburn hair hang loose around her shoulders and face. "You have a choice ahead of you. Your gift is powerful and as such many will oppose you..." I told her as I fought against the tears forming  in my eyes, "But I've seen the fine woman you become. All the grace and power in equal stride. With so many more who are loyal to you." She wiped some of my traitorous tears away,  "Then why are you so sad." "Because, this will be the last time I see you," I told her with a kind smile, "But you will see me again. Please be patient with me when you do. There are scars I won't have let anyone see. There are thorns that will have grown around me... but with your patience... I will become your most loyal ally... and even more loyal friend." The young girl of fifteen smiled sweetly, "Then I'll be waiting." With those words I felt the turn of the hourglass. I felt myself pulled back to my time. A time when my queen, my beloved queen, was gone and it was her kin I now had to outrun. But I could still remember the first time I saw her face. She was training alongside her Knights, I was a new recruit, and she patiently pushed me with each step till I became her trusted Sword and shield.
