dearest elfling
from the moment the world began, your journey was set in stone. hard lived will be your life and few will you find by your side. endure you must, the trauma of loss.

to say goodbye to those whom you could not live without. but you will endure, a body and mind fragmented, oh will you endure.
you will take the helm of your fratured clan, looked up to by who you should have craned your head instead. it was never your wish to hold up the heavens, but in your eyes, they did see stars.

and you will learn that trust is hard earned. but your mind will never recover, clarity just out of reach and little elfling, you will barely be able to care for yourself.
take comfort through those who wish your happiness above all and rise to conquer the whispering darkness..

dearest little elfling, your journey is but a quarter of the way through and yet.. you have lived a thousand life times of pain, harrowing and bringing you closer to the edge.

Sometimes all we can really do is just endure. I like how you've made it into somewhat of a fictional story, though perhaps the themes hold true to your personal life? Either way, I enjoyed the read.
Thanks for participating in my competition!
