"She was the most beautiful girl in the village, with hair as golden as the sun and eyes that sparkled like the stars."A collective sigh rippled through the crowd, and Elder Orel chuckled softly before continuing his tale."But alas, love is never without its challenges," he said, his tone turning serious. "For you see, Eliza was the daughter of the village blacksmith, and my family, well, let's just say they had their reservations about our union."Accalia leaned in closer, her eyes shining with curiosity. "What did you do?" she asked eagerly.Elder Orel chuckled. "What any lovestruck fool would do, my dear," he replied. "I wrote her poems, serenaded her under the moonlight, and even challenged her father to a duel for her hand in marriage."A ripple of laughter erupted from the crowd, and even I couldn't help but crack a smile at the image of the usually stoic

ACCALIA'S POV"You're staring again, Don," My voice broke through his thoughts, accompanied by a teasing smile that made his heart skip a beat.Don quickly averted his gaze, cursing himself for letting my guard down.

"It's our last night here. Let's make the most of it."Don hesitated for a moment, torn between his desire to keep up appearances and him longing to spend every remaining moment with me. But in the end, the choice was clear."Alright," Don said, forcing a nonchalant shrug. "But don't expect me to dance or anything."I grinne

ACCALIA'S POVAs the first light of dawn painted the sky in hues of pink and gold, my heart swelled with a mix of anticipation and sadness. Today marked the beginning of a new chapter, but it also meant saying goodbye to the only home I had ever known.Stepping outside, I was met with a scene straight out of a dream. The entire village had gathered to bid us farewell, their faces illuminated by flickering torchlight and the warm glow of dawn. Tears welled up in my eyes as I took in the sight, feeling overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support.Chief Orel stood at the forefront, his weathered face etched with a mixture of pride and sorrow. "Accalia, Don," he said, his voice thick with emotion, "may your journey be blessed with courage and wisdom. Know that you will always have a home here in Arinthia."I hugged Chief Orel tightly, my heart heavy with gratitude for all that he had done for us.

Kito had always been there for us, offering his help and support whenever we needed it, and the thought of saying goodbye to him was almost too much to bear.As we settled into the worn leather seats of Kito's truck, a heavy silence hung in the air, punctuated only by the soft hum of the engine. I glanced out the window, watching as the familiar sights of Arinthia faded into the distance, my heart aching with the weight of farewell.The ride to the bus stop was a somber one, the only sound the steady hum of the engine and the occasional sniffle from one of us. Kito tried to lighten the mood with some of his trademark jokes, but even he seemed to be struggling to find his usual cheerfulness.As we neared the bus stop, Kito pulled over and turned off the engine, the silence that followed almost deafening in its intensity.

"Together, we can face anything."With a heavy heart, I nodded in agreement, drawing strength from Don's unwavering faith in our future. As we boarded the bus and took our seats, I cast one last glance back at the village of Arinthia, its familiar streets now fading into the distance.And as the bus pulled away, carrying us towards an uncertain future, I knew that it was time to go back to my old life.As the bus journeyed towards the city, the landscape outside morphed from rolling hills to towering skyscrapers, a stark contrast to the quaint charm of Arinthia.
