Chapter 20 - Back to childhood

When you take a stupid decision you have obviously to face the consequences, and sometimes it will be fatal, if not for you for the people you care about.

I couldn't help but feel guilty about everything that happened.

If it weren't for me, my biological parents would now be dead and Elijah alive.

I risked his life for two persons that don't care about me half as he did.

As a goddess, and since my childhood was in Limphea, where all the people around me were immortals.

I never felt what it was like to lose someone dear to my heart.

I had no idea how painful it could be, because I had no idea that I will meet Elijah.

Even after we met, I never thought about this problem, I was just enjoying my time with him.

When someone accompanies you, with every detail of your daily life, when he is always there for you, to hear you and give you advices, you will be stronger.

But when he suddenly disappears, your life becomes black, and your days will be harder to overcome. You won't be able to enjoy life anymore and your smile will disappear with him.

I haven't enough strength to go on and meet my uncle anymore, all I was thinking about was Elijah.

He sacrificed his life just for me to be okay. And I haven't even the time to tell him how much I love him.

It's like my whole world collapsed when he died, I couldn't make it alone. I couldn't see clear anymore nor think.

As I was sitting on the floor in tears and staring down, I suddenly hear it familiar voice who says: "It's been so long, where have you been"

As I lifted up my head to see who he was, I saw him kneeling in front of me, inches separated us, his warm smile and sweet look helped me relax a little.

He wipped up my tears and with a tender voice he told me:

" I know what happened, but hey, its not the time to give up."

You are surely wondering who he was and why I felt so comfortable with him.

This is Rick, as we were little, we used to play and laugh together, he was my best friend. I felt safe around him, I felt that no matter what the problem is, I can make it as long as I have him by my side.

Rick was the adopted child of my uncle Duncan. He was the closest to my heart.

But one day, when Duncan and Nephustus decided to each take a world and run it as they wanted. Duncan took the underworld and Nephustus the upper one.

After this day I didn't get to see neither Rick or my uncle.

After Rick left, I was devastated, I couldn't get through it for years.

And after a long time, I met Elijah, that one who made me feel the same way as Rick once did. That's why I was so attached to him.

He gave me back the safety and comfort that I missed.

Rick took my hand and helped me up, we talked about everything and nothing, I realised how much I missed him.

Back than, he promised me that he will one day come back to and take me with him. But days passed and we couldn't meet again.

As he looked into my eyes I felt that the sadness I was in, disappeared, Alfea had always told me that after the storm there will be a sunrise. Maybe Rick was my sunrise...
