My One True Essay



I have written several essays in my life, and I would probably overwork my hand writing hundreds more in the future. Most of the words I stitch around to make these essays were done so because they were required, some of my essays came to existence because either I was feeling incredibly patriotic or for the fun of it, but I hardly out of love. All my other essays were spun in gray thread. I was saving my best words, my most colorful threads, the best rainbow of a paper in which to write them on for the very first essay I will write out of love. I never thought I will find my essay in a place, a fantasy world at that.
I became enthralled as soon as I was able to discover another world existing alongside our own. So I quickly left all my gray threads, packed my best words, my most colorful threads and the best rainbow of a paper and headed for this world, Encantadia. Encantadia easily welcomed me into its arms and soon I was able to treat this world as if it’s were I truly belong. Saying that the world of Encantadia is wonderful is so an understatement. It was indescribable! Even my best words, my most colorful threads, the best rainbow of a paper I brought along with cannot put to essay what I saw here. That was before I even met the people.
Here in Encantadia, I was able to meet lovely and friendly people, and sometimes a few irritating ones but they never fail to surprise you with a few blasts along the way. Of them all, the greatest were the four royal sisters, Sang’gres they call them. Pirena, the eldest, what a fiery brave soul she had! She’s the one with the tall pride, but she knew how to break this pride to let other people into her. And once you are into her, you will know what she’s really made of, behind what you may find as a cold heart, is a soul who knows how to value love, friendship and loyalty. She maybe on the wrong side at some point in her life, but because of her fiery valiance, she was able to break her pride to ask for forgiveness. That is the best deal of braveness I ever saw in anyone, and the most which I can never forget. Amihan, the kind hearted. Her motherly soul never ceased to warm up the hearts of anyone who comes across her line of view, including Pirena. Her grace is like the air we breathe, we cannot live without it, she is for once and forever the Queen, that’s because she deserves to rule the people she has come to love. There’s Alena, the emotional one. She was glad she was not chosen to be the queen that shall replace her mother because queens are not allowed to take in a spouse and she wants to fall in love. She did get love, in the presence of Ybarro, a vagabond which later on would be revealed to be a King. Who could forget her golden voice, we don’t wonder why Ybarro fell in love with her. Her heart is like the flowing water, silent but deep, cold but relieves a thirsty soul. I will forever mark in my heart the taste of her presence. And of course, the last but not the least, and my favorite, Danaya, the youngest one. Bravery and loyalty are her strongest characteristics; she too is great in love, but rather weak at showing it. Nevertheless, she acted well beyond her age, she can even lead her older sisters and has proven it when she became queen. She never left the good side, and even in the worst conditions, she stayed with Amihan. She could easily have defended herself when Alena challenged her in a battle, but she won’t hurt her sister no no. That’s Danaya, a tough earth to break, a strong ground in which you can stand and lean on, a rich soil in which you can grow love. These are the Sang’gres, the royal sisters of Encantadia, but to me, they are simply a symbol of women power, people who knew how to love, with a couple of fabulous fighting styles at the side. They have proven everything that needs to be proven, they have loved each other, enough to change each one for the good. But I also knew one thing, they have loved me, and the thousands other mortals who escaped to Encantadia along with me, whom with respect, likes to call themselves the Encantadiks. And then, that’s the only time that I realized why my colorful words are no use to Encantadia, why it was indescribable. Encantadia was made of love, love is the leverage point that holds each Encantado, even the villains in place. Love is never meant to just be described, it is meant to be felt and shared. So I fold up my rainbow of a paper and stuff it inside the pocket of my jeans. I don’t need to write my essay no more, for I can clearly see my dream essay unfolding not only right before my eyes, I am actually taking part in it.
My journey through Encantadia was a long one, it was painful, I was rough, but still, I turn off the TV with a satisfying smile on my face because I know, I have been part of it in one way or another. But sadly, every good road we know has a fork, leading to different new worlds, yes I have more worlds to explore, more words to color, more people to mark in my heart and more essays to write, but I will forever return to that one good road where I have lived in my first true essay. But until then, I will long for the day that my heart will come back to the place where it truly belongs, Encantadia.
Before I found Encantadia I only believed in my essays and I thought that there was no such thing as magic. But in a wonderful world alongside our own, where words are a mere hindrance, magic truly exists, and love is its greatest form, until the end.
