Warrior Lover - Origins - Episode 12 - Fear Creeps In

All through the new academy life, I measured my words, I restrained my gestures. Yet, in silence, I held her thoughts close, guarding what was precious. But would she be knowing?

I excelled in the academy, in most disciplines. I had my share of triumphs and humiliations—but they all mattered. Not just as personal accomplishments, but as a way to stay relevant, to stay visible—to her. Friends noticed. They mocked my strange behavior—trying to reach her in every way, except actually reaching her! I ignored them. It wasn’t strange for me. It was me.
Graduation arrived too soon. Another separation loomed. Fear crept in—had I, in all my careful balance, failed to truly reach her?
Even in warrior training—where I went after graduating from the academy—her whispers found their way to me. I heard she had fondly spoken about me, even after I had left.
I had nothing more to say than sending a whisper back, wishing her good luck, and greeting her for upcoming festivals. I believe it reached her. And I believe it brought a smile to her face—just as hers did to mine.

To them, I’m forever indebted. To all who walked with me in this journey—through its joys and jolts, its fleeting hopes and rocking farewells—I express my heartfelt gratitude. 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!
