Dragon King

~ Hitomi's P.O.V ~

The eerie moon was shining down on me. Its ghostly light dancing on my face. 

'I brace myself under the moon

 waiting  for the coming doom.

 I know that my end is near

 But with you at my side I have nothing to fear.'

"I know what's coming", I mumbled. "But do you?"

'One fateful day I was born

 One fateful day I die

 One fateful day I reawaken

 And into your arms I cry.

 Tears of memorises, of painful times

 Tears of a forgotten past

 I lay weeping in your presence

 Oh mighty loving Dragon

 Who knows how long this moment last?'

"Oh Van…"

'Then destiny calls out to me

 Embracing me in its warmth

 So with courage in my soul, I move on

 Flying in the open air, I am free

 Free of the burden

 I once carried on my wings

 Free of those regretful times

 My faithful Dragon King.

 My destiny to find the one

 The slayer of the dragons

 Hatred burns within his heart

 And darkness in his presence.'

"My purpose is almost complete…and so is yours…" I whisper to the silent wind.

'But I must find this one

 And aid him in his journey

 Journey to rebirth

 Or journey to destruction'

"How will all this end? Will we succeed in bringing peace to Gaea?"

'I must help him find his heart

 Before his mission falls apart

 So I must find this one

 I must find… the…

 White Winged…Dragon King…'

  "Oh Van…" I murmur. "Come back to me… safely…"
