The Thirteenth day, Saturday
Something about the ocean. I don't know what it is, but something about just watching it soothes and calms me. Lyon and I left early this morning a traveling peddler's wagon. He dropped us off at Gambino's docks, then Lyon and I took a walk further away from any populated areas. We sat up a picnic and swam and played around together. It was so much fun.

Then as dusk fell, he and I sat next to each other on a sand dune and looked out over the crystal waves crash on the shore. We talked for hours as we watched the last of the sun disappear over the horizon. I didn't want to ever leave, but I knew Mrs. Bell wanted us back home in time to get a decent night's rest. So just as I was about to get up, Lyon snatched my hand and pulled me back down.

He got really close to face and said, "Iya, I realize we haven't known each other for long, but you have nothing in this world. I'd like to give you something to hold onto."

"What are you talking about?"
"Will you marry me?"

I didn't know what to say. I was stunned. I was afraid that if I shook my head in the slightest bit he would think I had answered one way or another. So I sat there, my mouth slightly opened, stunned.

What seemed like hours past by, I remained in silence until Lyon sighed, stood up, and took my hand.

"You don't have to answer. It was stupid of me to think you would ever want to be with a guy like me."

I pushed him back, "What are you talking about? I like you! It's just...I feel if I settle down now...I'll never fulfill my destiny. The real reason I came to Gaia."

I didn't know what I was talking about, but I knew it to be true. He nodded and we started walking back to Barton; the rest of the trip in complete silence.
