Warrior Lover - Origins - Episode 11 - Attachment Versus Decorum

The academy is a place of discipline. Attachments do not have a place here. I knew it. She knew it too.
So, I presume we both stayed within boundaries—those of the academy and the ones we imposed on ourselves.

Too much was at stake. The academy’s decorum mattered. If we attracted undue attention, the providence which brought her closer, could take her away too!

Thank you for cheering, for empathizing, and for simply being here. I thank you especially ...

Warrior Lover - Origins - Episode 2 - Into The Academy

In our academy, you see all kinds of students—some masters' favorites, some aspiring to be. I was among the rest, yet I fit into no group. Strolling through the gardens, gazing at flowers, pretending to water the plants... Nothing in particular ever caught my eye. Not until that day! I do not recall the exact feat, but a feared master of the academy chose, for the first time, to recognize and applaud me before all. Just as overwhelm was about to set in, amidst the waves of applause, one stood out above all—hers! That brilliance in her eyes, the measured yet visible smile, the genuinely appreciative glance—drew not just my attention, but my entire being!
