Whispers (Noah Day One)

[Noah Vau - D2 (Cato)]

❦

I'm tired, and stressed. It's hard to stay focused when all I can think about is the days that are ahead. It's hard to do anything, and all I can do at this point is wander ahead without a care in the world, but I keep my weapon close just in case I'll need to use it. I look around everywhere slowly trying to take it all in. Everything seems so unreal yet so wonderful, and all I can think of is trying to get everything together. I don't have much, but sometimes that can work in my advantage for sure. It'll help me to succeed even if I feel hope is gone.

I wander around just looking at the various elements of the arena, the scenery changes again. And this time, I feel more at ease. A soft smile spreads across my face, and all I can think about is trying to just relax and enjoy this moment. I look up at the sky and all around. Just doing anything to let myself relax for a moment. And that's when I see the pond in front of me. I smile even bigger, and I move over towards it, and I step into it. It's a bit chilly. But I get used to it, and it feels amazing. I walk around sloshing the water around with ease. Perhaps this place isn't so bad after all.

I look at the water, and I keep moving around just letting it take away all the stress that I'm feeling. And I feel myself relaxing more and more with every passing breath. I carry my head higher, and I make sure I always touch solid land in front of me because one wrong move could send me to my death. Everything here is amazing, but I know it potentially comes with a price. Everything doesn't make sense anymore, but all I can do is rest. I smile and splash some water onto myself. It feels amazing, it feels wonderful, and now I'm at ease, so I step out onto the land and sit down and smile again.
