Spending centuries over the earth watching people born and grow old then die. Life and death have become common phrases for me.
That's the natural system, that's how life works.
Watching thousands of people die is one thing however when someone close to you leaves you forever that hurts differently.
Even the thought of not seeing that person greeting me every morning, not hearing his voice reminding me to keep going whenever I feel down knowing that from now on, a continuous reminder that from now on nobody would watch my back, that there would be nobody else whom I could put my blind trust on. It pierced my heart.
Darius was not just my servant he was my best friend. He was the only person who I could trust with my eyes closed. He was a loyal, kind, and generous man. Losing him felt like losing one of the pillars supporting my life force.
