" You can pull yourself away if you want to. It's your decision"
I became speechless. "Ok, just a moment please" I left him in his room and went out heading back to my troop. When sat beside one of my man, Katsuke, he asked me...
"so, how is it going? does it end well? are their gonna join us?"
"Quite well it just that..."
"Just what?"
"The King wanted to challenges me to a fight" I answered him.
"And you agree to him?" he asked me again.
"I don't know but look at me. Do I have any other choices? I think no. So then yes. I accepted the challenges."
When the sun rose and the bell in the tower rang, I got out of bed and opened the window. I saw all the childrens coming out of the front door of their houses and playing with their friends without worry and fear of the emergence of danger around them.
This place is like their paradise. Their parents just stood behind the window smiling watching their children run freely.
I spoke in my heart. "If only Luna could see this ... if only my friends were alive and here to see this."
"I wish that I can do something." tears drop.
Katsuke came to me and put his hand on my shoulder "hey, the past is the past. There's nothing else you can do but just accept it"
I stood up, left the canteen and walk back to my room. I stood up straight and watched my men eat and drink along happily and I felt happy even though they had suffered so much after what they had lost their family and friends. I grabbed my sword and shirt and left my room.
