The advice

Being nervous all day long, she knows something will happen but she doesn’t know when or what?! She gets near to the window. The sun is setting, horizon is red, black birds flapping on horizon is seen from the far. Like a prisoner in the prison, something in her chest is restless but it's not her heart. She knows it's a creature which is made by her lord and her love to him. Despite, it moves a lot and irritates her; she loves it as a part of body. "What do you want little creature?" she begs. A voice from inside shouts "Let me free! Just let me come out and take revenge from you and your love!" She feels vomiting. Nothing will make this feeling better except one thing! The red liquid, BLOOD. A tear fells down on her check. This happened whenever she hears the name of her lord.

 

The moon shines from behind the clouds; still she is in front of window, rocking on her chair and gazing to the moon. It seems the moon wants to tell her something. The moonlight and the wolves' howl like a battle drum are too much mysterious; inviting her to a ceremony. She reassures a fight is going to happen.

 

Every where is foggy. A black knight on a white horse, armored from the head to the toe and a sword in the hand, is becoming appeared through the fog, climbing the hill up. Getting to down of the hill; a dark man who is wearing a unique armor in wolf's shape is waiting for someone to come. The black knight takes out the sword and rides to him. The dark lord has an attraction which makes the knight get off from the horse. It is battle, but a battle for two that should be a horrible duel among them.

 

They walk to each other, their eyes are fixed together as they know each other, and every move has a reaction, like two lovers sharing a dance. The dark lord stops suddenly, as he realizes something. The golden eyes of the dark lord shine like the sun and have a reflection on the blade of the sword. "Where did you get this armor and the sword from?! I will kill you for the theft." The dark lord says strangely. This causes anger in the black knight to attack. The fight begins. Each attack has a counter attack and so on…. The dark lord attack to the knight with the powerful claws and sword but the black knight tries to defend because doesn’t want to hurt him anymore. The black knight doesn’t want to kill the lord but suddenly the dark lord jumps toward the knight! The sound of tearing of the chest is heard. The sword goes through the body of the dark lord and gets out from the other side on the back." Sorry for calling you a thief, you had a talented coach for sure. You are really good in sword, even better than me, MY LADY, thank you for listening to my advice!!!!" says the dark lord. The knight takes out the helmet. The tears don’t let her say a word… he's kneeling on the sands and the sword fells down from her hands! "My LORD, MY LORD, I didn’t want to…" she yells.

 

The sky roars, it is lightening. The wind opens the windows violently. Panting; she wakes up suddenly in terrible way. Her cloths are completely wet because of her sweating. Her heart wants to jump out of her throat. Night mares again nightmares" she cries. Getting up; ...looking through the window to the moon which is RED


 
 
The hard decission

It's raining. The sky is covered with dark clouds, it roars like it's angry and wants to take revenge!! She's in her way to her own village; it's a long time that she was alone. If she wanted to live alone, she should have been taught very well in many cases. Looking downward, she's strolling! "I didn't deserve you" this is a voice that she hears but never dears to look back although the voice is not strange for her! She continues her way in rapid steps and takes out her razor to attack if anyone wants to hurt, the words repeated and repeated!

"Yes, I didn't deserve you my lady!" the word my lady wasn't strange for her, the familiar voice is another sign too. "This is my lord", doubtfully with a razor in her hand she looks back! But no one is behind her. A dark place full of trees which are naked, even though the trees must have been covered with green leaves and blooms in the spring. "My lord, are you there? Show me yourself, I'm afraid where you are?"

"Scarce is the price you paid! Do not live with that" that is the last things that is heard. "Who the hell are you?" she shouted but no answer!!!!

 

She decided to go on, but doesn't put the razor in its cover and keeps it in the whole way. She reaches to her village. A young man, with light eyes and bronze face, well dressed and handsome sits on her chair in the balcony of her house, his face looks so familiar to her, yes she knows him well. He stands up, and bows in front of her when he sees her, but wondered to see her in this torn dark dress with uncombed hair.           "What the hell are you doing here? Again come here to destroy my life? Again wants to…" he interrupts her " No, I'm here just to help you because I've heard you pass really hard days, I just wanted to….."

She doesn’t wait he finishes his word and runs away. She was stimulated to come out of village again in order to find the knight and show then that they're wrong. The forest between her village and him is the distance which should be taken again. It's easier than the first time because she has those experiences. The horror of the dark place couldn't even cause a fear let alone the cold weather. She just looks forward in hope to find him in the end of the road where was a battle field, that a smoke coming out between trees attracts her attention that there is someone for sure so she runs fast.

 

An old man, in dark cloths, with white long hair and torn cloak sits there. He is in the same height as the lord. His tar was broken and he stared at the fire in front of him. Yes, this is that old man she saw once!!!! But with different appearance. "Finally you do come, girl?!" he says with trembling voice as he's waiting for her! "Yes sir, again I'm looking for my lord do you know where he is?" she asked with honor.

"Do not waste your time, you won't find him and if you do you will realize that he's not the man he was! Look at me, last time he helped me in killing enemies but this time a wolf attacked me he just saw and passed and I just could take it away and defend myself with fire. He has changed a lot my daughter! He went to a journey, if he returns, he won't be the one who you knew. He will become filthy. I advise you to live on your life and never get close to him. DO NOT BELIVE HIM IF HE EVEN SAYS I LOVE YOU!!!!DO NOT TRUST ON HIM AGAIN!!!" The old man says certainly.

She thinks that time trusted on him and never regret because he was right. He is really looking like her lord. She should trust him. She gets sure when she sees their engaged ring next to the fire. That ring was ring of laws and faith when he left it, it means they are broken!!! So the old man is right. She just says thank you with trembling voice which shouts crying!!! And starts to walk….

"Hey my daughter, I should confess something else too. He was loyal to you; I can swear and loved you much more than him. He left because he didn't want to hurt you. He told me he didn't deserve you…." The old man is talking and the lady is walking!!!" he was my whole life, I loved him too, he was my everything" she whispers. 

 

 She goes to their cottage which was made by the knight. The oven was dampened since he has left. It doesn't have any interesting things to her any more. Taking her sword; sitting on a chair and starting to sharpen it with a piece of stone, in the way that the lord taught her. Suddenly she feels something strange in her! She puts her hand on her heart but the heart beat has gone! No pulse is felt but the breath remains. How strange! Yes she is DEAD!!!!!!!! She's dead since she realized the old man's words are true. But the world isn't finished to her, she stand and runs to top of the hill, under the tree. Looking to her hands, they are pail as the blood doesn’t flow in the veins. She cuts her hand but no blood comes out! Startingََ to dig under the tree cry and cry but without any mourning or sound just the tears fell down. She takes out her ring, put it and the razor which were the only memory of him in that little puddle, and buried them. She makes a funeral for a love which started on 25of April and finished on 3 of May. The wind moves her dress and hairs in the way that she couldn't control. The nature is mournful for that too. Taking a deep breath; looking toward the endless road and running to the cottage. Takes out her dark dress and wears her armor instead, makes her hair up in pony tale style, takes her sword and keeps it harder in her hand, jumps on back of her white horse and ride to the hill where the road is behind. She takes a look to the cottage, wanted to fire it but she didn't. "One day we may return" she thinks loudly and rides to the endless road in the middle of the naked forest she disappears and the song is only thing is heard:

Hear the wind sing a sad, old song
it knows I'm leaving you today

Please don't cry, my heart will break
when I go on my way

Good-bye my love, good-bye, good-bye

As long as you remember me I'll never be too far good-bye my love, good-bye, I always will be true
so hold me in your dreams till I come back to you

See the stars in the skies above
they'll shine wherever I may roam
I will pray every lonely night
that soon they'll guide me home
