It is not yet your time

As my body hits the ground, I start to bleed on to the forest floor, I can hear my breathing, inhale slowly, exhale slower, as if time is winding down, I hear noises all around me, but everything is unintelligible, I feel my eyes close as to the rhythm of my dying breath. Finally, I do.
Everything becomes darkness, my whole life I have run to the light and now I lie in the shadows, all encompassing surrounding me and for a moment everything goes quiet, I feel myself drifting away, and a coldness begins to set.
 
I don't struggle, I feel no despair. I am at peace, I won't feel the darkness, I will embrace my faith. And so, I feel a warmth, touch me all over, slowly, and a light begins to appear in the horizon and it becomes so bright, dispelling the darkness as I approach, I open my eyes, and I see it once more, that sky. I have been here before, and so, strangely, it feels me with joy, I feel no pain I am whole once more.
The light is brighter than ever before and I go to it, slowly drifting, among the clouds I see it.
 
But then, like a whisper I can barely hear, almost nothing I hear someone calling my name, and again, and again, and it becomes louder, and louder, and clearer. I hear my friends they're calling out to me. My memories start to flash before me, of meeting them at the port market, after ten years, all four of us, reunited at last, that promise, fulfilled. what a joy.
Entering that tavern I wished I could see for so long, and seeing that man I met at the castle all those years ago, almost like a miracle he is there in front of me again.
The trees we left behind over and over as we walked side by side making our way through the forest, eager to find a new town I had never seen before.
And then I hear that soft, harmonious voice I recognize right away, engraved in my memories, and in my soul, she calls out to me and says: "It is not yet your time Lucens"
 
As I sit among my friends that night, watching them sing and laugh and dance at that tavern I hold so dear in my heart. My soul fills with conviction and determination, I am where I am supposed to be and now more than ever I trust the path laid before me ...
