thu!
ah...I feel the pain coursing through my heart, I want to heal, but I also don't
This is a very strange emotion you are making me experience sunny.
"Are you...argh!...calm now?" I asked, a short man in black ragged clothes held the black blade piercing my heart, literally.
His face is bleeding from the finger marks digging up to his bones.
"You..had such a handsome face...tch! Argh!!"
His hands trembled violently, my legs gave out, he let go of the dark blade, slowly merging it into nothingness...no...into shadows.
I knelt on the sinking ground.
"N-N-N-NO! T-T-THIS CAN"T BE HAPPENING!!!" He screamed, his voice breaking, sounding like broken glass.
He broke down, now I understand what he meant by madness.
"I TRIED SO HARD!! SO MANY GOD DAMN TIMES!!! WHY!? WHY!? WHY!?"
"Hey! S-stop that and come here!" I shouted at him.
tch! just how unique is the serpant of death? Even if I heal my heart, I know I will die.
He listened to me, all of our other members of the cohort are already dead, except that goddamn mirror.
He then picked up my battered body, on the brink of death, I am like a fragile glass.
But it feels so good~, his body is cold, but feels warm.
It's physically cold, but emotionally warm. It feels much better than the fruit from the tree of emotions.
It is this feeling I longed for in those years in Forgotten Shore.
I realized at some point, I love this man.
"I really don't want to die..."
But I hate seeing him cry more than that.
"I'm sorry....I'm sorry...." His broken voice is ruining the vibe.
Shouldn't it be this moment where the hero confess to the heroin?
Should I confess first? But he would hate that, he wouldn't like it if I say I love him and will think I am trying to change his mind from being free.
I...really wish I could change my decision back then.
If only I hadn't enslaved him, maybe we would've been together already.
I know my initial goal was to kill those traitors, so I wanted to kill them before leaving this world.
But, I dodn't know when, maybe after the Forgotten Shore, but my goals changed.
From a simple act of revenge, it turned into creating a peaceful world under my rule.
I wanted peace, to be with the new connections I made. But, most specifically, I wanted to be with him.
Fate is cruel, and I know it now. Now, I am dying, my friends dead, my enemies still living, and leaving the person I love alone in an eternal cycle of madness.
I reach towards him with all the might I can muster.
Cupping his mangled cheek in my hands, I utter the last remaining words I can as my life is slipping away.
"I Love You Sunless, My Lost From Light..."
***
A Dark Shadow cried miserably in crimson blood, his sorrow taking a physical form.
The sinister sorrow spread wildly in the great river, slowly and hungrily trying to devour.
But Time is similar to Fate, it does not bend to other's will.
But Even Fate can be broken, so can Time.
Sensing the threat on itself, Time acted on it's own for the first time.
The great river boiled wildly, just like divine flames.
All living and corrupted perished, cooked like a divine soup.
Then, with an explosion on the entire great river, water splashing out in the infinite void,
Everything returned to normal. The shaow disappeared, so did the dimming light.
The perished went back to their former selves, continuing the everlasting loop.
Years later, the shadow returned, along with the dimming light, now burning like a star.
Everything went back to their natural order....so did 'Time' thought.

"~aaaah, hup!"
"You act like a child, haha." I smiled and teased the girl acting all cutesy.
"Do you hate it?" She asked, puffing her cheeks as if she's mad.
"Absolutely fucking not." Hearing my answer, her face lit up, going back to snuggling on my arm.
"Will you stay with me tonight?" She suddenly asked.
That's quite the shock, It was her first time last night, so she should still be recovering.
"Were you not satisfied last nig-"
"N-Not For That! I wanted to know you better so...I thought we could stay together and...talk? I won't be able to do it tonight, s-so sorry about that..." Her voice eventually lowered to barely above a whisper.
Her inferiority complex didn't leave her even in this life.
"You think I am an asshole who is only with you for your body?"
"T-That's now what I meant."
"haha, I know." I looked towards her, her head laying on my shoulder. "I'll be with you. I don't know if you actually feel the same, but.."
She straightened up, following my voice.
"...I Love You Cassie"

Anyway, I'll be out for about some weeks, to return with a better plot map for this.
I am already making a detailed one for my original work, so it won't hurt to make for this one as well.
