Author's Notes: Well. *tears hair in frustration* I seriously need help. I've already halved the second chapter of The Art of Deception (formerly The Art of Deviousness) but I don't know if it's good enough. 

Sasuke watched as the woman he loves walked down the aisle, black-eyes carefully blank. She looks so beautiful, he thinks, swathed in white, delicate face shining, lavender-white eyes full of love. But then she had always been beautiful – even when she was crying, even when she was fighting. It had taken her so long to become what she is right now – to unfurl her wings and fly, to be the butterfly he had always thought her to be.

How painful it is, to realize that it wasn’t he who showed her how to fly.

Watching, always watching, yet never going near her, never telling her the things she had always wanted to hear. Always in the dark, in the shadows – that’s what he has always done, never walking under the light with her, never daring to laugh, never daring to smile, never daring to dream.

And now, to share life with her will forever stay as a dream.

SERIES: RAGNAROK ONLINE GAME
Type: Vignette
Pairing: None

Note: One of my old, old stories that I made when I was obssessed with the game. I'll try to explain some of the things in there, but most who have played that game would understand - some Dungeons and Dragons players would also understand some of it. Just for nostalgia, because I found an old notebook which had some scribbles..

gAGain, 'tis me, Mithlin. I've decided to put up the second of the four drabble request in a different post than the other one, that way I can organize the comments for each drabble. This second drabble is for Shoey's Hatsuharu x Tohru request - and again, being the literary rebel that I am, I exceeded the 100-words mark. I'm hoping I can curb this tendency to write more words than there should be, meh.

K'nnichiwa! I've finished two of the four drabble requests from the meme I snagged from psyched_kagura. I'm not that good with keeping the drabble length though, so I ended up with more than 100 words. I hope you all forgive this literary rebel.

Welcome to Pico De Oro!

This is mithlin_megil's prose journal, where most of her literary works -awesome, mediocre, or bad- are posted. Or dumped, whichever way you prefer. This was largely due to the fact that I, Mithlin, wanted to exercise my literary fingers, so to speak. It's been two years since I've written anything, two years since I committed myself to the world of words once again. I'm actually hesitant to do it, to plunge myself back, but slowly but surely, my will to write is resurfacing once again. Who knows what will come out from my over-active imagination? I can only hope that whatever comes out of it can be labelled as coherent, and maybe, just maybe, can be labelled as kick-ass.

After all, when you dream, don't just dream half-way. Reach for the stars, the sun, the moon! It's not there for nothing - it's there for us to reach. After all, as Paula Vaull Starr said, "Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.".

Let dear Kaoru-chan welcome you to Pico De Oro.
