silently,swiftly, like winged death, he drew out his sword..for a moment it glinted in his hand,a promise of retribution....i could hear the screams,could smell the blood,see the bodies that littered the battlefield..but my attention was all for that one warrior..his eyes cold with fury, his face set with determination,his courage and pride a palpable thing in the air around him....was he the blue blooded prince?or was he the illegetimate offspring of the old amorous king?or was he simply a renegade on the run?i didn't know....all i knew with a quiet,deep rooted despair was that this man, whose face had haunted my dreams before i had even met him,who had walked into my life and changed everything for ever,changed me forever,was going to die today....for was i not the Seer of this little kingdom set in this green valley and did not all my dreams come true?
i watched,and saw the arrow fly clear and true to its mark.it struck him right in the breast,as i knew it would.and saw the man i loved more than life itself fall...and then i was running,like allthe demons in hell were at my heels,running towards death or madness,i knew not which and cared not either...
and then i was there,kneeling beside him,tears pouring down my face,pleas and prayers and curses mingling in my head..were the screams i heard mine or of the ghosts around me?...and then suddenly his eyes were open and right on mine.he smiled, and i looked down on his chest and saw the charm locket i had put around his neck hours ago,dented and badly damaged by the arrow which had failed to pierce his heart,my heart...
