The "Be My Valentione!" Creative Writing Contest (NA) - OFFICIAL ENTRY THREAD

Fordola-

I write this to you, knowing full well that if I were to be discovered, the children of Ala Mhigo would come for my head. But if there is one thing I believe in above all else, it is that dwelling on the past too much always does more harm than good. I cannot control anyone else’s actions, and that includes yours. That does not mean, however, that I cannot choose to reach out to you. And so I will.

When I first met you, it was during the assault on Rhalgr’s Reach. Though many of my friends were either furious or heartbroken, I could not help but feel that there was more to you than a so-called “remorseless traitor”, as my friend Sylbstyr put it. And I learned how right I was-my Echo revealed it all. My heart now bleeds for you-I want to help you. I want to understand you. Please, give me that chance, Fordola-I know there is more to you than the bloodthirsty traitor most of Ala Mhigo is convinced you are.

I’ve included a homemade treat for you-rolanberry ice. It’s my own recipe. I know how hot it gets in Ala Mhigo, so I thought you might like something to help you cool off. I hope you will give me a chance to heal your broken, tormented soul. I am always here for you, and will continue to be until my dying breath.

Dear Aymeric,

If I could, I'd rewrite the stars where our stars crossed so that they would remain together. How I wish I had the ability to do so. I know this letter is sudden but after nearly losing my life in a duel with Zenos, all I could think of was you and how you would never know the feelings I had buried deep in my heart. My feelings, I'm not sure when they changed from adoration to love, but they were solidified at the private dinner between you and I. Being able to speak to you as a woman and not as the warrior of light, filled me with joy. You had asked me what I would do when the fighting is over, a part of me would like to live a quiet life surrounded by flowers and by the gentle sound of water surrounding me and the other side wants to be by your side, protecting you and your homeland. The fighting is about to escalate and I didn't want another Valentione's Day to pass without letting you know my feelings. I love you, Aymeric.

Your warrior of light,
Rinoa
