Anastasia→ I give her a grateful smile and hug her back. "Thank you so much." I say I turn towards the door and slip out, makeing my way past the guards and out into the foyer. I run outside, turning back to look at the castle, all lit up in the night. I sigh and pull my hood closer around my face turning my back to the castle and sprinting away. I slow to a walk about a mile later maanageing to hook a ride with a farmer, selling turnips to another kingdom, I pay him with the coins that Kai gave me and settle in next to him, the smell of the turnips makeing my nose itch.

“Courage is not the absence of fear but the judgment that something else is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all. For now you are traveling the road between who you think you are and who you can be.❞

Bravery is one of the most important things to me. It has been for quite a long time now. I always believed that if people were not brave then nothing would be done to make the world the place that it is. Think about that for a nanosecond. Courage and bravery are what shaped the society. If people had not been brave enough to step out on a limb, then we would have no heroes. No police men. No firefighters. No soldiers. Nothing. We would be a world without hope. And when there is nothing to hope for then what is there? So be brave. Please, please, please, don't tuck yourself away in a dusty cob-webbed corner and sit on a three-legged stool staring out your window and fantasizing about the things you could do. Do them. Be courageous, be bold, be brave.
→Love,
Loudest silence.
