She stood alone amongst the desolated ruins of great civilizations come and gone. Among the twisted metal and jagged concrete was the occasional skull – gory remnants of opponents she had dispatched quickly with the sword sheathed at her side. Suddenly a movement caught her eye from the farthest corner of the battlefield. A tiny speck that grew increasing large as it drew near at a remarkably rapid pace. It took seconds to cover a distance that would normally require hours to traverse. She barely had time to throw up an arm in defense before It bore down upon her. Its teeth sank into her battle scarred arm forcing her to her knees. She screamed from the pain. No matter how many times she’d had to use her arm to shield herself from attacks, the pain never decreased. Yet the scars kept multiplying. She memorized each of them- studied them at night by the light of her fire, remembering each battle fought. For a moment she wondered if this would be her last wound, the one that would never have the chance to become a scar. As the last sound waves of her scream echoed around the rubble, she roused herself from her pain-filled reverie and swung her sword into Its torso. Metal met bone and It shrieked in a disturbingly human way and dropped her arm as if it were hot metal. Scrambling to her feet she surveyed her opponent.
Backing away from each other, each tried to decipher the other’s weaknesses and vulnerabilities. The sun was starting to dip itself into the horizon’s golden bath, they would have to settle this before darkness fell.
The raucous caw of a raven seemed to announce the second round of their battle.
She attacked first, driving the creature up against a crumbling wall with swift yet threatening thrusts of her blade. The creature roared and ducked surprisingly quickly before she was able to deliver a fatal blow. Its rage had burgeoned into the most primal form of blood lust and It began fighting back in earnest, no longer toying with the human that seemed so intent on hurting it. Metal sliced through Its leathery hide, claws and teeth scratched through exposed skin. It seemed a battle of endurance, and with such tenacious antagonists either one would have to surrender or both would die.
Starved for oxygen, her bloodied body shook with every shuddering breath as she leaned on her sword for support, its tip wedged into a crevice in the ground. She had reached her limit, it was time to make the last play for survival. All or nothing. Life or death. Steadying herself, she lifted up her blade and leveled it at the creature. It was not in much better shape than her. Blood bubbled at Its mouth with every exhalation, and gashes inflicted by her sword bled rivulets of fresh blood that trickled onto the ground below.
An unearthly determination gleamed in their eyes. One held the determination to protect herself, and in the other was the determination to conquer. They ran over the few paces of blood stained battleground toward each other and ….
It was over so quickly. The sword left her hand, the hilt rendered smooth by intermingled blood. The world spun as It ripped open a gash on her chest. Flying backwards from the impact, she saw the last drops of gold lingering in the sky, as if silently waiting to bid her farewell. And then she was falling. Falling to the hard unforgiving ground. Lying there, she felt the earth vibrate as It rumbled over to ascertain Its conquest. She felt liquid run down her cheeks and realized they were tears. Her tears. She had lost, and she had fallen. There was nothing left for her to fight with, to fight for – there hadn’t been for a long time now. It was time to let go. The creature stood over her and lifted her up in one of Its bloody limbs, the other morphing into a stilletto with which It could pierce her heart.
The fog of pain and anger cleared as she was lifted up off the ground by her opponent. Clarity often comes when the end is imminent. She looked up into Its face, and as their eyes met a wave of disbelief rammed into what was left of her stomach. She had time to utter one word before It stabbed the thin blade into her heart with one swift motion.
“Why….”
As consciousness faded away she heard It say…
“Because all’s fair in love and war, my darling.”
The most important things in an LDR…In my humble opinion…
1) Communication – Communication solves practically all the problems in life. I havent met a problem I couldn’t solve by a good long argument. Call me confrontational, but that’s my modus operandi. Guys tend to just clam up [like a damn oyster faced with hungry Japanese]…and my theory is that they think the problem will just turn into a pearl if they wait long enough. I have news, guys. While it may turn into a pearl, given long enough, oysters get killed FOR that pearl. So….okay. My metaphor kind of ran away there. BACK to my point. Talking (or even fighting) through problems is the only way to solve them.
2) Understanding – Sometimes you have to understand that your significant other may have things he/she needs to do. Thus, they may be absent when they should be present. I suggest you settle for a 75% attendance rule…kind of like University. Also…try to show interest in his/her activities. Seriously, if you dont try to get distantly involved in each other’s lives, you’re going to flunk big time. Get involved. Talk about new friends, activities, happenings, food, ANYTHING. And remember to show interest in the other person’s life too.
3) Dependability – Be there. Again, make sure you’re there at leasttttt 75% of the time. Aim for at least 90%.
4) Don’t be SELFISH – try and see things from the other person’s perspective. Like try to understand when they fall below expectations. If they dont show up for a scheduled chat or IM session, maybe they had something crop up. Understand that they DO need a life of their own. One that cannot be achieved if they’re stuck to the phone/computer the whole day.
In short, it’s all a matter of personality. As long as the person you’re attempting the LDR with is able to fulfill the above three criterion, and you are able to do so too, then it’s going to work. It is.
If you go in with a good attitude, it’s going to have a much higher chance of working. I know of some couples that had an LDR over a few months, and although crap happened, but they still ended up together. In other words, if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.
I fight for love, that’s just who I am. Everyone is different. Guys tend to be more anal about such things [BWAHAHA I'm gonna get so much hate for this]. They dont want to put in the effort and BELIEVE that it can be done. But then again, everyone knows themselves best, yes? Also, like FATTY thinks, Why start an LDR when it’s not gonna finish [ie: end in marriage]… and to be honest I completely understand that. I need to see a future before I’ll even think about starting anything serious.
So yes. I'm back to blogging after a super long break. x)
