The mountain bends and the road winds, until you vanish from sight; only your horse's tracks remain in the snow.
I have known him for twenty-two years. I was carried here as a baby, and we have rarely been apart for long. I grew up by his side and came to understand that he was naturally aloof. My master often said he was destined to achieve great things, a man shaped by the Great Kang Empire.
We spent many years together. Though we were not deeply attached, we got along peacefully. I was frail as a child and could not handle strong emotions, so I never developed a lively, impulsive nature. But being with him... was something I never expected, and somehow it all happened so naturally that it left me bewildered.
P.S. A few things to make clear.
1. My writing skills are limited. If the story goes off the rails, that's not my problem. Sort it out yourselves.
2. This is fiction. If anything seems familiar, well~~ there's nothing I can do about it. [Shrugs]
3. If this isn't your thing, don't read it. Please don't come looking for a fight.
Meet in the first chapter, separate in the first chapter...
