A tear... any tear cannot change anything yet us humans still cry, Why do we do it? Is it because we do not realize that it will change nothing? No it's because we are human that we can shed tears...
"But wait hasn't the princess already killed you inside?" Those words resonated in Flame's skull. "The princess... she was human... and I am..." he let out a sigh looking at his hands. "I am a guardian, a Lone Knight. If this is so why do I still remember the pain?, Why did Drake's words still hurt me?" He sighed and closed his eyes, the memories and pains rushing back as he clutched his heart and let a single clear tear run off his cheek to the ground.
"Thank you Flame, you saved us!" the villagers cheered as they cleaned up the remains of their village, but Flame was in no mood to cheer or celebrate. You see the human heart is a delicate thing, it can be torn, can be broken down, hell you can even step on it a couple times but it will never learn. Love is that way, you take the risk of your heart learning a lesson but also can have joy right before it."Sir Flame" said a beautiful young woman as he stood silently "Thank you for saving our village... we trully owe you everything." she said with a brilliant smile. "Then go home girl... go home and be happy." He said in a harsh tone not turning to face her "W...wont you stay? I mean I'm sure the chief would let you-" she started,"No!, A knight like me cannot stay anywhere. I am to travel alone and live alone", he spoke sharply and cold "Oh... so your as cold as your brother." she said with a sigh "you don't even know what your protecting. You call yourself a knight?! Your nothing but a coward!" she screamed, angry at his lack of emotion
He turned quickly "It's not like..." he started angrily but saw her face and just stood letting his voice soften "It's not like that...". "Then how is it Flame? I have not once seen you smile, not once seen you laugh, are you even human? Do you even have a heart?" she inquired looking at him. "I..." he spoke very softly and closes his eyes turning as if to leave but stood still "I do have a heart... and I am human... you just don't understand." he continued in the same soft tone."Then explain it to me, explain how your different form your brother. Explain to me how you even know what your fighting for" He winced at her words, his heart twisting from his memories. "I wasn't always alone, I once had someone. She was a princess and I was her protector, she is the one Drake spoke about." Thrown back by this, the young woman walked slowly towards the knight standing next to him. "She was supposed to be an assignment and nothing more... but the human heart plays tricks with you. I fell in love with her and she with me. A couple years went by and we were happy, but happiness has it's limits. I guess I pushed them because soon I lost her... not to death but to another." He said opening his eyes, a red glow emitting from them "so you see young one, I cannot stay because I have a wounded heart... and a wounded heart only has one remedy which I am scared to use..." He said walking away into the darkness leaving her and the village behind.
"I am scared to use the remedy because it is the very poision that has infected my heart... but if I am to defeat Drake that heart will hafto stay cold and broken..." he whispered to himself walking in the darkness.
