My first fic for X/1999. I found this in a random notebook, read it, and thought, "Woo. That's rather swell." So I found the time to type it up, and here it is.
Gaspeth.
---
My name is Kamui.
My name, and also my curse.
Because of that name, I am the hope of the Earth.
Because of that name, he is the death of the Earth.
A dragon of Heaven, a dragon of Earth…
What is the difference?
A name?
The princess assures me that the next Spirit Shield will fall.
A shield for the human race.
So I am cursed with my fate.
The pentagram, the Seven Seals, the Seven Harbringers, the thousands of people who have no choice in the matter…
It all blends into a whirlwind.
Earth…
Heaven…
Both need to survive for one to live.
The Sacred Sword…
The Dreamseers…
It all confuses me.
And my spirit shield remains elusive.
What do I have to protect?
I don't know anymore.
Before…
When she was alive,
When he was just another guy…
When my name-Kamui- was ordinary, unimpressive.
Everything seemed so safe, so pure, so innocent.
And now, what I've always held dear eludes me,
Faces, feelings slipping though my limp grasp.
I don't know who to trust anymore.
I don't know what to trust anymore.
I don't even know if I can even trust myself.
With the fate of the Earth.
What a curse this name is…
…Kamui.
-f-i-n-
Another emo fic for the list. Sigh.
Review?
