~Atlas~

Its been two weeks since I left Miral. I miss seeing Griffin we became so close in a short a matter of time. I think we been friends for about a month now. Defiantly after the cannibal thing. I wish I was there but I can't not with his father chasing me. 

"Atlas, what was it like working for the prince?" one of the village girls asked me.

"It was fine," I said, shaking out a blanket.

"But was he handsome?" She asked smiling.

"Yea, but you have to get pass his prattness first," I chuckled at the memories.

"You miss him don't you," She said, rubbing my back. 

"A little," I admit.

"Don't worry. He'll find you when the time is right," She said, giving me a hug.

"That won't be anytime soon," I mumbled. She shook her head and left. I felt the urge of going back to Miral but I knew that I would put him in danger.

~Griffin~

Two weeks since Atlas left me. I feel so empty without him. I don't know what do. I feel completely lost. I think my father is noticing my behavior.

"Griffin, what wrong with you?" I heard a knight asked.

"I lost my best friend and I don't know where he is? I don't know if he's alive? I feel empty," I said on the training field.

"Atlas means that much to you," he asked.

"Yea," I said, shyly.

"Well go get him," he said.

"I can't my father will kill him. I don't want to watch that," I said slumping to the ground with my sword sticking in the ground in front of me.

"It must be hard not going after him,"

"Yeah, Fighting every nerve not to track him down and drag him back to Miral," I said, clinching my fist, "I just wish I could," I said, releasing my fist slowly.

"I can tell," the knight said patting my back and walking off the field. I sat there for a few more moments think of what to say to Atlas, when he returns.

~Atlas~

It's been about three months since I've seen Griffin. I started to forgets what he look likes.

"Atlas, you got a letter from Miral," one of the elders said, walking towards me.

"Who's it from?" I asked taking the letter from her.

"Griffin," She said, walking away. Griffin. I felt my heart raced. I opened the letter. I saw his handwriting was so beautiful and neat. The paper smelled like him to I was about to cry when I started to read the letter.

Dear my best friend, Atlas,

It's been about three months since you left. I wanted to let you know that  you did nothing wrong. I wish you was here. I feel lost without you, Atlas. I hope you are well. I really wish that I could come and see you but I know that you won't let me. I really miss you Atlas. I wish we could go to that abound library again. I wish I could hug you longer. I wish I could hear your jokes. To hear your laughs. To see your smile...

Griffin.

I started to cry. I could see tear stain on the paper. I could sense the sad tone to the letter. I walked back to my little house and decided to write a letter to Griffin.

~Griffin~

It been about three months and a week since Atlas left. I send him a letter and I hoped he got it. There was a knock at my door.

"Enter," I said, sitting up straight in my chair.

"A letter came in for you, sire," the servant said, handing me the letter. I dismissed the servant. I looked very closely at it. Atlas was the only thought that came to mind.

Dear Prince Griffin,

I have been doing well. I wish I could come back to Miral but I don't want to that pressure on you. I'm glad that you aren't mad at me. I do miss you too Griffin. I miss your laugh, smiles, how you cheer me up when I'm sad. I wish I was by your side.

Atlas

I could feel the sadness just falling off the paper. Tear stain on the paper and feeling completely useless. I could feel the tears falling from my eyes knowing that I might not ever see him again.
