Prologue
Last Updated:
2021-06-04 19:05:30I walked through the kingdom with my arms chained up, dragged by the guards of the King. I strongly believe that this kingdom is ruled by the most Evil King humanity has ever seen so far. And today I have become its prisoner... I am now doing my best to not let my hopes fade away and believing one day I will be happy again by gaining freedom to live without fear.
I ran away from my home town and reached this place a year ago. I set my foot on a territory which was not mine....I knew my life would be hard, but I never knew it would turn out to be like this! But back then, the kingdom was not ruled by the present King. Ever since the present King took the throne, the lives of millions started to change into a hell.
I don't even know the King's name or even seen him, but seeing the sufferings of the people because of him and hearing about the cruel behavior of the King, made shivers run down my spine. But I never knew I would end up as his prisoner. Just like the people who suffered in this Kingdom, I too lost everything. What was once my home, got destroyed in a war two years ago. I have been on the run ever since then.
I am Ara, Cho Ara! A normal young girl enjoying my life with my family. But everything changed now, I don't have a family, home or anything. I thought I would be lost forever...that I would never find a home again.
Until one day...I met you....
I still clearly remember the first time our eyes met, the night sky was full of stars and the red moon was shining upon us, your eyes glittering in the dim light. You gave me a home again on a territory which wasn't mine. You, my lover, have given me a new life. Alas I lost your presence too! I waited for you, a year has passed and there is no sign of you. You haven't returned back to me, and I still wonder every day.... Jihun ...where are you?
Did you make it out of the war? Knowing you, you must have fought hard for your country. The thought of you haunts me every day! This is your motherland, and for that reason I accepted my fate of becoming a prisoner of this country. Because I am hoping that you are alive somewhere in this land and trying to reach me. So I'll keep on waiting and waiting until the day I can see your face again.
Till then I'll gather up all my courage, as I am walking through this path towards the King's castle and I become a slave of this Kingdom. I believe, one day we will get back what we lost once and that day you would save your motherland from the Evil King's hold to bring back peace and harmony in the Country.
YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE!

Fading sorrow Flashback
A YEAR AGOI opened my eyes and saw the clear blue sky...Oh no! I fell asleep... I quickly pulled up my body from the hard rock and looked around me. I should be more careful. I place my hands on the pocket knife, checking whether it's still there. I am not sure if this is enough to protect myself from any danger. I sighed and stared at the sky.I was the only survivor of my family, my entire home town was destroyed in the war. It's not a happy thing to survive from a mass destruction, it's never good. The thought of you being the only survivor, will make it so hard for you to live. You will come to a point where you think about why you survived. It is the worst feeling ever! I've been on the run for a month, wandering all alone in woods and rocks. Not knowing why I am still alive. I've lost everything and I need not li

Fading sorrow The guy in Blue Velvet Boots
Previously,My eyes widened as a weird feeling rose inside me. She is creepy yet beautiful. The white moonlight radiating bright light on her milky skin. Her black smooth hair perfectly covers her ears. The simple black night gown she wore perfectly hugged her body. She looked like an angel. To be precise she kinda feels like a fallen angel. I guess good looks run in their genes. She is everything I ever wanted to be in my whole life. Bold, beautiful, brilliant, sarcastic, cheerful and scary at the same time. The aura she holds is different. She is scary but she has a good heart. She slightly chuckled while walking. I slowly ran behind her."Where are we going now?" I asked more like a whisper."To Jihun's room" She said carelessly.

And I have to let go of my fear to get him back, to get my happiness back. I love him and I am nothing more than a lifeless human covered with skin and bone without him.
