"IS THAT SO WRONG?"
That is what he shouts, and I wonder if he is questioning me, defending himself or maybe even both. Would it be so wrong to forget everything? It would be so much easier, but... Is it possible for a human to forget, to deny the existence of the very events that have shaped their life? Is it possible to forget the one person who made you the way you are, even if that is what causes the pain? There is one way to truly leave it all behind, but I don't want to lose everything... I don't want to see him never again...
A loud scream pulls me from my thoughts, and on instinct alone I defend myself from the firebirds with my wind blade. It seems I still have the will to live... Suddenly the foundation I stand on disappears underneath me. I lose my balance and I start falling down. I stop my defence with the wind, and try to slow myself down instead. Even though it works, I still land with quite an impact. On top of that, I'm also hit by whatever was left of the flames.
My vision starts to blur and my body feels way to heavy, but somehow I can hear everything with a clarity I wouldn't think possible before. I hear the metal crashing, and I know I have to get away before something seriously heavy falls on me. I'm not ready for it to end yet. And I then I hear Coldy talking again:
"Peace . . in the next life. That'd be nice, but . . . even this hell we're putting each other through. It's pretty enjoyable, spending it with you. I know I don't have a right to ask Lecty, but could you just promise me one thing. I want to know you, I want to find you in the next life. I want to know the you that I never could. So . . . would you try to find me too?"
And with that promise, I am ready. The only reason I would stay just promised to look for me. He will find me, or I will find him. That is enough. I close my eyes and wait for the final attack to come. I can hear it's a big one, Coldy always liked a dramatic climax. Just seconds before the impact I speak the final thought on my mind:
"See you later."
End
I didn't want it to end like that... Funny how I can write when I really force myself. I'm just never satisfied with the result^^ Though it isn't too bad, it's not how I wanted the story to end... Anyway it's my loss. If not in the story, then most definitely by some kind of unspoken time limit.
I was wondering, could I maybe use our fight to make a story (probably a oneshot) out of it? I have been thinking that before, and I would really like to try that. When I have time, that is^^ Would that be okay? I'll probably change a lot and add more history, but I'll keep most of the fighting and dialogue.
And if you can live with my habit of procrastinating, then I'm still up for it. Give me the details!
