Worship of Alimer
Tonight before sleep, I go back outside. Looking up at the darkness of the night and seeing, whether it is my imagination or not, I do not know, the eyes of Alimer looking down at me. I fall to the ground as I continue to look up at the sky.
"Oh, great one, I pray to you again. I have been following your teachings and have received your blessings, I am sure. I see your hand in many things from the woman I stole from to the safe passage through the wilderness. I see you, and I worship you willingly. I may not have much to offer you now, but I will one day, and I will pay you back in full for your help on my journey."
At that, I bow my head before heading back inside to sleep.
Dating Melody
"My dearest Melody, you are the light of my eyes. No lady in this town can hope to compare to your beauty." I start ginning at her. I rub my hands together as if I am nervous before continuing. "These past few weeks together have been like nothing I have ever known. I believe that I am falling for you, and I don't know what I would do without you in my life. Dear Melody, it is my earnest hope that you feel likewise about me. Our evenings together have been spent with much joy around tables eating good food and laughing, and with your permission, I would like such evenings to become more frequent."
Why Am I Elerous?
Bad, bad. I ponder the word in my head. Why have I gone down this route, it would not have been the choice my family made for me, no most certainly not. I have heard it said that the bad become that way because of hardships or mistreatment, but this is not true either my childhood was lovely and filled with fun and joy if nothing else.
So then I ask myself again why, why did I walk down this path. Because it is easier? It seems silly almost to think about that as some will shun me because of it. But yes, in a way it is easier, I have a goal, and that goal will be reached. What do I care for others? Many might do that same thing to me.
So yes, I suppose I am bad, but only because that makes the most sense. When the world is not kind to people, why should you expect people to be kind to you, and why would you be kind in return?
