Why did I have to leave? That which had brought me to you, took me 
from you. I am now home, when I want to be with you. I fell in love 
with you, and now you are far from me. Too far for me to reach you. 

It has been weeks, but it feels like years since I last saw you. 
Will there be a time I can look once more at your face?

I sit and hope. Hope that, in time, I will see you.

Why can I not be with you? Why do I have to go to school, when you are 
a king with a job to do? I want to be with you and help you. I want to 
be your queen.

"Oh, Van," I cry. "I wish I was with you now."

A beam of light? Yes. Please let my wish come true. Please...

I shut my eyes and pray.

My eyes look at my love. My wish worked. "Van?"

He looks to me in shock. He does not speak, but takes me in his arms 
and we kiss.

I will miss my clan, my home, and my friends, but this is where I should
be.

Thought I'd try the one-syllable challenge. 
I ended up qualifying to a couple other challenges that have been
issued before with fict as well: 
	Less than an hour to write.
	Write in a series I haven't written in yet.
