                           Chapter 4 : Merdicus

Among all people. Why her? The maiden with tree trunk colored eyes. That lady with the gestures I knew I would forever keep. Why did I need to fall for my friend. When years before she was just a child, lost in the middle of the woods.

The woods that smelled just like her. In every way. The wind bringing up the dead memories of her and me together. A sad perpetual that was forever poisoned by the thought that way back, I left her. And made the wrong choice.

Hasmariva. 

She is my joy. And yet there was grief and longing inside me. Though I had found her again, a pang of loss still lingers. I don not from where or what it's mother is. But I do know something . . .

She is here, and she's the one thing I will ever keep.

Once upon a time, I was no one. Once upon a dream, I was: Cerdipus The Hero.

Hasmariva . . . you are my dream.
