Cyane's Story | Dana Bell
Rebecca didn't think it could be possible for the war to go on any longer. It had been five years since the war started and her father had been fighting in it for three.
Before he left he left her a box. He told her not to open it until he got home and she never understood why. Rebecca thought this box was beautiful. It was wooden with a craving of a sunrise on the top. On the sides were the Latin words of Hope, Faith, Peace and Light. She couldn't imagine what could be inside; Rebecca just figured it would be a present for her to open when her father came home.
One night she couldn't take it. Rebecca was certain was never going to come home and she wanted to know what he gave her. Rebecca sprung for the box and flipped it open. She was flabbergasted when she looked inside; there was nothing inside.
Rebecca had never felt so discouraged and she couldn't understand why her father wouldn't let her open it. She went to bed that night feel absolutley hopeless.
The next morning something phemonal happened. Rebecca heard on the news the war was over and soilders were coming home. She was even more shocked when in just a day her father finally returned home.
After much tears and embracing Rebecca finally asked her father about the box. He then began to explain that the box contained hope, faith, peace, and light. When Rebecca opened the box it sent forth all these powers which ended the war.
"I don't understand. Why couldn't I open it sooner, maybe you would have never had to go."
"Because I wanted to fight for it," her father replied, "I wanted to prove that it should never be that simple."
