Chapter Forty-Nine: "Fighter"

You're a traveler, and honestly, that would have been my Chapter Name choice for you, but something about it did not quite fit.

It did not ring true, not as true as Fighter did.

Slowly but surely it started to make more sense to me. Because you are, you are a Fighter, and I admire that in an individual.

I have found many that have chosen to give up, just as yours truly, but it is on a rare occasion I find one that has the will to keep going.

To fight.

​You have proven to be illusive, for you have often disappeared, and with the timing being what it is, I was not sure if you would be one of the ones that stayed.

Until you did.

Then I started listening. Wondering if you had noticed that I noticed. I usually keep to myself, I do not just choose a Chapter without reason.

For there are reasons I choose not to really show myself.

Mostly because trust is currency these days.

But because trust is something that is built, not purchased, one must always be weary, and one must always treat it like it's in high demand.

I do trust you.

And slowly I am starting to understand why.

But you are new and you are fresh to my world.

I only hope you can understand it and understand me, as well.
