May. 27th, 2025 06:43 pmmy love, have courage, those were the words with which her lover, Terami, left her and the village behind to go to war, to make the world a better place, to kill in order to end all killing. Liuja stayed behind in the much smaller world that she knew, though at times war touched down here, too. A warrior would, occasionally, pass through the streets, stay the night, leave imprints in single women's beds and tell tales of the horrors she had seen on the battlefield. Liuja listening, knowing well to where her lover was headed. As time went on, months passing, years, she began losing hope that her warrior would ever come back, return to her native village, to the love whom she had given courage in a parting gift. Courage, but what of endurance?
