Chapter 1

"I'm going to go now. Please take care of your self when I'm gone" I started at Liel face for the last time. I'm going to miss his face for sure.

"I'm okay now so you don't need to go" the grip on my wrist became harder. If only there were a way to save him without leaving his side, I won't leave.

I take a deep breathe and look at the sky to stop my tears from flowing. I want to stay with him forever. I don't want to leave. I just want to be with him but I can't.

I erase this thoughts and hug him.

" I will come back, I promise. I just need to win the competition then get the medicine. After I win we will stay together forever. Please take care of yourself. I will miss you" my hug become tighter and thighter. I don't wanna leave. If only time could stop right now and let the two of us be together for a more time. My tears kept flowing, so as Liel's. Liel grab my chin and start kissing me.

"I love you. I love you so much Johan. I'm sorry for making this hard for you. Please be safe. I'm sorry." saying those word as he keep giving a kiss make me want to turn back and just be with him.

I dont know how long we are standing, hugging and kissing each other while waiting for the carriage to come and when it did we kiss for the last time before I get onto the carriage. He stayed there on the same spot until his body become smaller and smaller and finally disappear from my sight.

__

It took some time before the carriage reach the capital. It was so lively whenever I look. Maybe because the tournament is coming fast there are so many children in the street.

This tournament is the 1890th tournament that would happen this year. The events and games are hard but no one ever died while participating. This is the most safest tournament in our world. Every year the games are different. I don't know how they manage to think of that many games but that really is impressive.

And this tournament prize has the medicine Liel needed. I just want the medicine. They can take the money. I want to be with Liel more. I don't want to lose him. Even though it is hard to leave someone you love, we need to sacrifice something for us to be happy until the end. My choices now might be hard on both of us but I belive that we can achieve the life we wish together. We might leave each other side for a while I know there would always be a place where we can be together again.

"WELCOME TO THE LAYOR ARENA! THOSE WHO ARE PARTICIPATING TO THE TOURNAMENT PLEASE GO TO THE LEFT AND FOLLOW THE YELLOW LINE! THE TOURNAMENT WILL START SOON ONCE WE SORT OUT THE PARTICIPANTS."
