Only when you truly find love do you realize how hard it is to keep it.
 



Rock Hard Realization 

I wake up to find Nena sleeping soundly against my chest. Finally shes
not in danger and we can just rest in peace for awhile.Her head rises 
and falls with each breath I take. I stroke her long black hair and 
wish we could just stay like this forever. The sun slowly shines 
through the trees and illuminates her radiant skin. What i wouldnt give 
to freeze her in time to stay so peaceful. 

N-"What are you thinking about?" R-"Oh nothin just....wait your awake?"
N-"Of course you didnt think you could wake up before me did you?" 
R-"Well, I guess not.(I lean down and kiss her) How did you sleep?" 
N-"Good, I slept good.So are you ready to get going?" R-"No not yet 
lets just enjoy this for a little while. We dont get much down time for 
just us." She lays her head back down. N-"No, no we dont. Its nice. Hey 
remember when you used you write me those poems?" R-"Yeah." N-"Would 
you tell me one now?" R-"Hmm i suppose i could try, lets see now. Two 
lovers journey, through harshest land. Against all odds, they make 
there stand. She has the beauty, he has the charm. He vowed to her, she 
would meet no harm. Never knowing where, the wind will lead. To mother 
natures warning, they try and take heed. With thier love to guide them, 
the fighting will soon cease. Then they can be together, forever in 
peace. How was that?" N-"....." I look down and she has fallen back to 
sleep. I gentely lift her head up and move out from under it. I lay her 
back down. I think its time for me to go do some training with these 
new powers. I decide to go up on one side of the canyon to practice. 
From up there i should be able to keep an eye on Nena. I look back and 
she is sleeping soundly. Should be ok for a little while. 

I begin my climb up the north side of the canyon. Around the other side
there is a more gentle incline that could be hiked up but i want to 
climb. I've always loved climbing since i was a child and was always 
pretty good at it too. I dont know why i like it so much i mean its not 
easy. Maybe its the rush I get on the way up trying to find that next 
hand or foothold before my others lose there grip. Or maybe how i feel 
like im on top of the world when i finally reach the highest point i 
can get to. All i know is that once im up there i can live. I finally 
reach the top and take in the amazing view. 

BP-"How you likin that view there." R-"Oh great." I turn around to see
three Black pawns staring at me. BP-"You dont seem happy to see us." 
R-"Oh no dont take my lack of excitement as a sign of disappointment 
its just... i mean you guys show up so often its not really like a 
special occasion anymore ya know." BP-"Huh?" R-"I'm sorry guys. You 
just gotta admit when the magic is gone ya know.Maybe we could do 
something to spice it up like uhg." The first pawns gives a sharp jab 
to my side. R-"Ooh good one ya caught me off gaurd there. See you guys 
winning for once could be that thing we need to bring back that spark 
we had.Ahg." The second pawn kicks me in the back of the leg and i 
kneel down off balance. R-"Well now lets not take it to far it will 
lose the sense of a challenge. Besides i was thinking more like this." 
I stand up and throw a right hook at the third pawn. He blocks it and 
lands a strong uppercut to my stomach. I fall to my hands coughing. 
R-"Alright thats it no more nice guy." I throw my back right leg out 
and catch the first pawn in the chest sending him flying back. But 
before i can get to my feet fully, the second pawn slides over and 
kicks me in the air. The third pawn spins and kicks me in the air 
towards the edge of the cliff. I skid along the ground for a few feet 
and stop just before the end. The first pawn is up and walks towards 
me. He unhooks a small blunt object from his belt. Then as he presses a 
button it comes out to reveal a long staff. BP-"Its finally time you 
got what you deserved peasant." He swings the staff on the ground 
towards me and i barely jump off the ground with a back hand spring. 
But he spins around and the other end of his staff catches my legs 
sending me back to the dirt. Whats happening to me? Why cant I fight? 
R-"Your gonna regret that." I get up and aim my hand towards him 
expecting lightning or fire to come out but nothing happens. BP-"Oh 
whats wrong your powers all gone? Too bad." He sticks his staff in the 
ground and jumps in the air. With one leg he hits the back of my legs 
and the other leg hit me square in the chest sending me into a back 
flip landing hard on the ground. Now I start to panic i seem to only 
have my basic fighting skills which isnt going to match up against 
three pawns. I need my powers but there not coming to me and i dont 
know why.
