Authoress' Notes: First try writing for Sound Horizon! (Insert fangirl screams here). I got inspired by the people at the SanHora forum and was pulled out of my writer's block. At first I was a little uncertain to post this on , but thanks to Schauspielerinnen, I finally got the backbone to post this! Thanks! (waves like an idiot) It's already time for my finals, but I just can't help not writing this! The plot bunnies are making a snack out of my brain…

Disclaimer: If I were a member of Sound Horizon, pigs would fly. The characters in this story are from Sound Horizon's 7th album Märchen! Characters belong to the great king His Majesty Revo-sama and Sound Horizon. The only thing I own here is the diverted plot and the twisted mind to write stories in the first place.

Warning: This is a semi-AU fic for Takkei no Seijo, somehow in line with the song's storyline, but I made a big change with the way it ends. To find out what the end is, read and follow it! I'm also apologizing in advance if I somehow make the characters OOC… But please enjoy, minna-san!

Extra Note: This is a prologue. The lines in normal italic are memories/dreams, while the bold italics are the Ido's thoughts. Lastly, the underlined italic are Märchen's thoughts. The last un-italicized part is the real world, as told by Märchen's POV. Heck, the whole chapter is in his point of view.

The Last Song

By: Syaoran's Sakura

Chapter 00:

Remembered Promise

'Like a bird has its wings, there is a song in the night'

"Are you alright? You're not scared?"

"No, but my heart is beating so fast. I never knew that the forest… that the whole world was this vast!"

'Those memories… are they really that hard to suppress?'

"Pretty flowers."

"Ah, you're right!"

"Here, let me put them on you"

"Oh, make it cute then"

"They look really good on you"

"Really? I'm happy you think that!"

'That face… Do you even remember to whom those green eyes belong to? That voice? Is it really that hard to forget?'

'I… I can't remember…'

'Then don't force yourself to remember. It is of no importance.'

'But… I feel as if… I had loved someone… in the past… and that someone… loved me too…'

'Ah, but surely that's just your imagination. No one loved you. Wasn't that the very reason that you're taking revenge on those sinful humans?'

'Revenge… for what exactly? For whom?'

"Well then, today I'll show you a very beautiful place, let's go!"

"Yeah!"

'Persistent, are you not? So be it, I shall grant you your desire! Remember all of it! But I shall warn you; by remembering you will feel nothing but pain, and this girl, she will bring about your end! Such is your price for remembering what should have been forgotten!'

'I… I don't mind… I just want to know… the truth.'

'Very well. Go and meet your doom!'

"Mär, please... promise that you will come back for me!"

"Of course... I promise"

And I opened my eyes to the circular night sky, eyes brimming with tears.

Syaoran's Sakura: (hides from hoards of people carrying farming equipment and torches) I made Märchen almost OOC! I'm so sorry! (sees someone carrying a cross) WTH I'm so getting out of here! But please do leave a reply before you burn me to flames! (runs)
