Forgotten What I Started Fighting For Novels & Stories

“No, I don’t. I remember what I need to, and the rest can stay buried. I don’t know what you are talking about. Please, let me go and wake up.” He shakes his head and ensures I’m not leaving. “Remember why the war started.” “I don’t remember,” I cry out. “Yes, you do. Who were you with before the war?” “No one.” My mind is a mess, and it feels like I’m on the verge of something huge, but it’s not coming to me. “Yes, you do,” he says, his voice rough with urgency and something darker beneath. “You were with me. You were my lover. Please, remember.”

And now, legal backing. I decided I would not fight a lost battle but establish myself to reach the apex. And so, I left everything behind and left to begin it afresh. But that night, when I received that message from an anonymous fellow, it revived the painful memories I thought I had left behind. It was then that I realized I had not truly moved on. I just managed to bury the hatchet, and now, a flood had washed it open. I decided to return to fight for what truly belongs to me.

Our passionate fight Began.

I raised my head to gaze at Adrian. “Stand and fight for what is yours. You're not letting this slide, are you?” Adrian added. His words were filled with motivation, yet I never felt motivated. I forgot what it feels like to stay strong. I just wanted the ground to swallow me and end my mysteries. I don't feel human again. Life has completely become meaningless to me. “Did you just advise me to fight? What exactly am I fighting for? Can't you see that I've already lost the battle even before it began?” I chuckled.

Because for the first time, I wasn’t fighting for a phantom. I was fighting for something real.

It was said that he had forgotten how old he really was. "I would like to accompany you to see your mate, if I may? I was once in love with a female in that village. But her father did not favor our union. The Clutch has a long memory and well remembered the death of your parents, so it was decided that I would leave the village. I never forgot her. And I would very much like to see if I recognize any of what might be her ancestors." Tine could only nod. He could only imagine the pain that the old dragon had felt. Just being separated from Mira to come to this meeting of the Elders was almost debilitating. Raptor had literally had his love ripped away from him.

"But in those dark times, it was the thought of what I was fighting for that kept me going. I wasn't just fighting for myself. I was fighting for every person in the kingdom who deserved a better life, for the future we all dreamed of. And every time I wanted to give up, I'd remember their faces, their struggles, and it would reignite that fire within me." "And then there were Blaze and Dexter. They never let me forget why I started this journey in the first place. They stood by me through thick and thin, reminding me of my strength, pushing me to rise above the challenges. They were my rock, my anchor. Without them, I would have lost my way."

He was lost. Taking a shaky breath, I shifted my weight and leaned a little closer. My voice came out softer than I intended, but steady enough to reach him. “I know you don’t understand what’s happening, and I know you’re trying to make sense of everything. But you don’t have to rush it. You don’t have to fight it alone.” I paused, squeezing his hand gently, hoping some part of him was still listening, even if he didn’t realize it. “You’ve always been a fighter. You fought your way back to me. That means something, even if your mind doesn’t remember it yet.”

Because this time? I wasn't fighting to win. I was fighting to kill.....

"You fought like a true warrior!" And before I know it, I'm surrounded by many of them who are admiring me. Most of their faces are still fresh in my memory, but none of them recognize me. None of them remember the last I left behind. Yes, this is it! A fresh start. A new beginning. And this time, I will not be weak nor wallow in heartbreak. I will move on and protect my child from Duncan forever!
