we are one.

[mood | nostalgic]
[music | One - Lee So Jung (RF Online Love Theme)]

i remember a year ago i used to cut classes in college just to play this game. back then, nothing mattered to me aside from this, where everyday from morning to evening before i retire to bed i could hear this main theme playing as the client updates itself.

since then a lot had happened. i founded one of the best, if not the best guild, in the server where i played, directed them to victories, shared in their griefs, scolded them, praised them, led them whenever possible. i saw this guild rise to prominence, saw guilds and friendships break apart, but only the establishment i helped found stood the test of time. loyalty, honor, and courage -- the very cornerstone where this guild was erected on, the vision that i and an honored friend had begun, once, a year ago.

i witnessed the downfall of my race, and i saw how we were almost torn. i kept them together, we kept ourselves together. and finally, in that day over half a year ago, i decided to quit, to reorganize my priorities, and the life that i have shunned in my attention to this virtual world of war and alliance.

but contrary to the beliefs of my peers when i decided to leave, the guild lasted. it became stronger, more powerful, more bonded. this post is meant to thank you that the vision of Gai`alshadar has lived on, stronger than ever before. i thank you for the honor of serving with you, and while my strength has already waned far below your present capabilities, i will always think of you with pride.

rise from your sleep, my children... prevail, children, for the day of Fate. mabuhay ang Gai`alshadar.

this is the lyrics of RF Online's main theme, One, sung by the Korean singer Lee So Jung.

ONE
RF Online Main Theme
Vocals: Lee So Jung
Composition and Arrangement: Cho Sung Woo

"When I saw you for the first time / I knew you are the one.
You didn't say a word to me / but love was in the air.
Then you held my hand / and pulled me into your world.
From then on my life has changed for good / Now I'll never feel lonely again
'Cause you are in my life.

Love / how can I explain to you / the way I feel inside when I think of you?
I thank you for everything that you've showed me
Don't you ever forget / that I love you.

"Love / I know that someday that soon / you'll be right next to me.
Holding me so tight / so I will always be yours,
Although we can't be together now / remember that I am here for you
And I know that you're there for me.

Whenever I long to be with you / I just close my eyes and pretend you're here.
I see you, I touch you, I feel you / like real.
Nothing can change what I feel inside.

How long must I be far away from you?
I don't know, dear but / I know we are ONE."
