Story Title: Where are you?
I remember the day that they took her. It was cold, I didn't know what to do. She was upset - why wouldn't she be? I fought as hard as I could, I didn't have any other choice. I begged them to leave her be. I didn't understand why this was happening. Why couldn't they just let us be happy? For years I had searched for her, I knew that she was the one. So why would they rip her from my arms just after I had finally found her? It wasn't fair.
I never found out exactly what happened to her. Some say that, when a Kalon loves a human, the human is killed, and the Kalon banished. But I wasn't banished. I can only hope that she wasn't killed.
I can't say how long it's been. Years? I barely even notice the changing of the seasons nowadays, I have no need to. I haven't stopped searching for her, I know that she's out there somewhere. She was, no, is the most beautiful person I had ever set eyes on. She had the longest hair I had ever seen, flowing as if it were a river, down her spine. She was quiet, at first, she seemed nervous. I didn't understand why, at the time, but I do now. I suppose that she understood that they were coming for her, that what she was doing, what we were doing wasn't allowed. I loved her with my whole heart, in all honesty, I would have walked through hell backwards if she had asked me to. She was so scared on that night, but she didn't fight. She knew that it was coming - in a way she was prepared, but I wish that she had told me.
I have searched everywhere. For years, I have turned over every stone, explored every cave, climbed every tree, just for a chance to see her again. Even if it were just for a moment. Just to say goodbye.
It wasn't until the beginning of summer that I caught a scent once more. There were rumors of a human being seen just on the outskirts of the city. I knew that the chances were slim, but I had no other leads - I had to follow. I felt a certain connection, pulling me towards an energy that I didn't quite understand. I was told that it was a stupid idea, that I was wasting my time. In a way, I agreed with them. I had very nearly lost all hope that I would find her, and that we would be reunited once more. But I knew that I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully until I at least knew that she was safe, whether she was with me, or not.
The evening was beginning to draw in, and I couldn't see all that far ahead of me. I was tired, and I was hungry. I didn't let the sudden pangs of hunger deter me, though, I had been doing this for so long, I had learned to ignore them. I wasn't afraid of the dark, in fact I relished it. It helped me to know that I wasn't being watched, and that, chances were that I was the only one who was out at that time. I could enjoy the silence as I searched, and be alone with my thoughts.
I found myself imagining what I would do if I did actually find her - would I be relieved? I think that, deep down, I would always be a little angry at her, for making me search for so long, alone, even if it wasn't her fault. I knew that she wasn't especially happy with the situation either.
I froze when I heard a twig snap. This far out of the city, it may well have been a fox, but I doubted it. I could sense that something was wrong. My heart was beating out of my chest, and I could feel my lungs begin to struggle. But I powered on. And by God am I glad that I did.
Finally, after years of searching, there she stood. Her hair was as long as ever, cascading around her shoulders, clinging to her almost as if it were a blanket. My heart absolutely dropped, if I'm honest. Every thought that had been in my head dissipated, and I was left simply staring at her. She was as beautiful as she always had been, she didn't look like she had even been away for a day.
I was so relieved, I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes.
"Well, aren't you going to say hello?" she asked, her voice as smooth as butter.
I was finally home, with her.
"I found you."
