<b> A Poets Promise <b> ---------------------- Dancing upon the stage under the glittering lights, my heart filled with such joy as I see the smiles I've given. Such a joy and gift it is t be a Muse.. But then the night grows old and the lights begin to dim. The faces begin to fade and the stage is as bare as the deserts of shilla. This night now becoming an everlasting dream.. One of faded smiles and laughter. I now roam through the mysteries of Nagnang without a purpose nor aim. My delicate feet grow weary of such rough terrain. Along the way I spot a young poet by the name of KiyonJyon. Her face as pale and lost as mine. I notice that she holds a broken axe in her hand and she seemed a bit perplexed. I began to slowly walk twords her as her head turns to look twords me. I give her a asuring smile and hold out my hand. "Mind if I take a look?" She seemed hesitant but gently put the broken axe in my hand. "Well this surely is no good for cutting wood! Little one, why have you not gone and bought a new axe?" She simply bows her head and sighs, " I don't know where to get them..and no one that I've asked has helped me..." I could feel my heart sink into my stomach. Allthough this was such a minimul thing. She seemed so lost, as if that axe was her world and no one would help her repair it... I smiled back at her and grabbed her hand. "Come along, I will show you where to get a new axe!" Her face seemed to beem with joy, just as the faces I had seen on the Muses stage ever so long ago. Such a beautiful smile she had.. I took her along with me through the great wilderness to find the secluded Carpenter who sells Axes to the outside communities. I bought the young poet a brand new shiny axe and told her to be carefull with this one. "Thank you so much miss Sayomi." She smiled at me like a child would at her own mother. With that, she went back on her long journey with a new faith in mind I hope. I was once again left in the darkness but this time, there was a guiding light. What better joy then to know that you have helped someone out of their darkenss, and in turn you are even lifted of your own, even for just a moment. From that day I vowed to help any who are in need, even if I do not know all the answers, Im certainly wise enough to point them in the right direction. I now continue my deeds with the honored tutors of the Kingdoms. Nussan has lifted me completely out of the darkness and now I shine bright like the northern star, guideing those that are lost and in peril. I hope that no one has to be lost in the darkness for too long. If you feel that you are, just look up in the sky or just around. There is always a guideing light to help you~ <b> (\/)~ Sayomi Arii` Savant <b> /\/agnang Poet Tutor | |
