![]() Dear friend, You are strong, kind, and loving. I trust your ability to make things right and your feelings are sincere. I know you have good intentions, and I know you care about her, but please, we want to help you. You are our friend, and we should share our pains. I wrote a story that is related to a game that we both love to play. I hope that we can all trust each other... The sounds of wolves growling and birds squawking is echoing in the darkness. Ezreal is lost in the jungle. He walks through a river path to find his way out, but suddenly, the waters around him start to bubble. Ezreal slowly moves back and is ready for action.
"Pop!" Whew, it was just a baby river scuttler getting some air. There's nothing to fear in this jungle. "SCREEEEECH!" Ezreal jumps in fear and turns to see a void born creature with 12 eyes and three menacing heads. It's the Baron! The Baron spits a rain of acid at Ezreal, but he quickly dodges, barely grazing his jacket. As soon as he dodges the rain of acid, spikes protrude from the water and pierce his legs, knocking him down. He feels unbearable pain and desperately tries to push himself back to his feet. A green lantern appears at arms reach. Should I push myself up or grab the lantern? A voice rings in his ears, “You may not be able to beat the Baron, but if you grab the lantern, your day will surely come.” Ezreal grabs the lantern and becomes shielded by a magical light. The lantern pulls him to safety and Ezreal is met with his support. Someday, he will beat the Baron, but for now, Ezreal trusts the green lantern and is grateful for its guiding wisdom. Ezreal is you, and we are the green lantern. Where you go, we will watch and follow, and from today till any day, we will give you light through the jungle and pull you back to your feet.
