Stuck in Solitude

It has been a few days since I've been all alone in my home. I have nobody to talk to, no one to smile with, and no one to cherish anymore. It was such a depressing scenario for me, that in such case, I don't want to live anymore, but with such circumstances that I have to face, mostly to seek revenge on those killers who slaughtered my hometown, I kept on pushing. Even though I am only a teenager, still, I need to survive in such solitude. The only way that I could eat is by foraging fruits and hunting animals in a forest nearby. That means I had to walk a few meters, or a kilometer away. My leg was such a hindrance, but in order to survive, I had to. I do the same routine everyday, until I get used to it.

Two weeks later, my leg healed completely. I was able to move more agile this time, that means that I could train easily. In the training grounds, I grabbed my wooden sword, and started to swing it, practicing how to parry, block, counter-attack, attack, and many more. As I progress through my harnessing of skills, I will make it even thougher than before, and as the days go by, I started attaching heavy stones on the edge of my wooden blade, and swing it rampantly. After another few days, I attached stones on my wrists in order to learn how to control my body balance and posture. After another few days, I started weilding a metal-casted sword, my father's sword from where I found underneath my parents' bed. I swung it rampantly, and began learning how to wield properly. It was such a tough situation for me, living in solitude, doing this same routine again and again, but with a mindset like this, I guess it will turn out great.

A few months later, I mastered wielding this metal-casted sword of my father, and I became more agile and flexible in my training sessions. As I chop down trees that I use as dummy targets, I look at the blade, saying in mind, "Father, mother, and to those who I have loved, I will avenge you. Though I was left behind, struggling to live and to survive, I promise you, that I will cut down the heads of those who have killed you." The sword glimmers on my reflection. "So be it!" I smiled and nodded as I draw back my sword, and I looked up the sky. One day, I will meet them again, this goes onto my mind. But for now, I will remain in solitude to strengthen myself in battle.
