Let The Adventure Begin (PART iI)

- By loving

#22

Are you there?

Little Pobear whispers into the dark.

Meow, he signals.

Little Pobear follows him,

tiptoe

deeper and deeper into the unknown.

#23

Let's play "catching”! he says.

Game on! Little Pobear replies.

So Little Pobear starts chasing after him.

Little Pobear is about to tell him how much she enjoy the game

when he suddenly disappears.

Little Pobear will never catch him again.

Little Pobear will never find him again.

It is only much later on then Little Pobear found out that

all along, he belongs to someone else.

To him, the game is just a show to ease his loneliness.

To Little Pobear, the game is a quest to find true love.

The truth hurts but Little Pobear will remember how she have tried to win,

not the game, but his love.

#24

After the kiss at sunset, he disappears without a trace,

as if nothing has ever happen.

Nevertheless, Little Pobear will remember and cherish this moment forever.

Perhaps, Little Pobear wonders, he will remembers it too?

#25

Under the desert’s night sky, Little Pobear plays the flute happily for him.

Little does he know, the heat in the day is unbearable for Little Pobear.

But the chance to do something for a loved one is hard to come by.

Little do Little Pobear know, she is merely seemed as a nice dinner for him.

Luckily, in the end, he chooses to slips away quietly, leaving Little Pobear alone wondering why.

#26

Little Pobear thinks that he is the one.

#27

She even imagine

how it would be like if they were to build a family together.

Yet, he backs out last minute.

Little Pobear’s dream shatters again.

#28

Then,

she thinks she meet someone who seems really kind and loving.

#29

So much so that she can be vulnerable with him.

#29

Yet, his past trauma has left him deeply wounded.

He remembers how human beings destroyed his home and took away his loved ones.

Without recovery, he ends up inflicted pain on others even though he really does not mean to.

#30

Oh!

What exactly went wrong?

Is it because Little Pobear is not cute enough?

Is it because Little Pobear’s legs are not long enough?

Is it because Little Pobear’s hair is too messy?

#31

”At least, I have a home to go back to.” Little Pobear tries to console herself.

Yet, her memories of home are not sweet at all.
