《The book of forever》Chapter 5.4: Splitting paths
Advertisement
In the dead of night after the sunset, when the stars are above and ground bellow, I look at the path behind me, lonely. I come to realize how far I've wandered. Alone on my path feeling just at home, I can't help but wish for another here; each path behind me a diverged old tale, each fork before me a splintering tale. To what do I wander for, to what end? I ask myself this question without end. And so I wander again, sometimes lone. And so I wander again, sometimes not.
Each path to our destination, our goal, I meet and separate from them again. Those of my past, and those of my future, I wonder if they're all bound to depart? I hope, I wish, I seek, another's heart. And so, again, alone, I stand and start.
Perhaps this is the beauty of this life, to wander a lonely road so lonely, and to wander a lonely road so free. Perhaps this is the beauty of this life, to depart and split, to then find again. To make new bonds where one's have disappeared, a heartless meaning so ever unclear.
Those who will stay, and then those who will go, how can I tell what is for forever? Does that mean anything? Anything so? Perhaps not, and so I seek but a night, to make memories and to make more friends. Knowing clearly that this could quickly end, knowing clearly that it doesn't matter.
Because of that though I'll cherish them more, knowing that this all could sooner than end; my heart, and my laughter, I give to my friends.
As if the moment is but a snapshot, a picture captured in time, (so ver' still,) I make it sparkle with laughter, so filled; that even myself, my cynical heart, can't help but open again; a new start. As if I was trying to blow away, miseries and regrets of the lost past, I make sure I'll look fondly back at now.

Those memories missed so much won't return, yet that doesn't mean the future we burn. There will be new memories, and some old; reunions and new stories will unfold. The past hasn't ended, future not start, this adventure of ours continues, hark!
And lo into the dark night our feet walk, and lo onto our adventure we'll start!
To laugh and smile, the beauty of life, to not live in regret we must now fight! Perhaps nothing last forever, who cares! These smiles we have won't fade into air! This is what it means to live wholehearted, this is what it means to truly still live. To learn, to live, to smile, and forgive! Those are things we need to know; we will glow... no matter what the world will throw at us. That I truly believe, seize the present! Yet at the same time don't forget the past,
Now is the time to make memories last!

Star Wars X Mass Effect
Like the title says, it's a crossover between Star Wars and Mass Effect. I'm using both the Star Wars Legends continuity and my personal playthrough of Mass Effect Trilogy for the story. This is actually my first fan fiction ever, so sorry in advance if chapters feel like summaries or my writing in general is off.
