The Sound of Forgetting
By SMYGO4EVA
"All the things I've done, there's no escape. I close my eyes and pray, but there's no escape."
Yuuko looked down at clenched fists.
White knuckles, cerise eyes.
Her voice was low, unyielding.
"Regret is a weakness," The Demon King murmured, tilting his head. Black emerald mask, unblinking ebony eyes, alit by an undoused fire. "Faith, it is nothing but a design flaw."
"How you designed my magic, my powers…" she uttered.
"Flawed, to exploit theirs. The Dimensional Witch, they named me. They also have called me a godslayer, the worldbreaker. Haven't I done enough?"
"For our survival?" the demon king said. "No. Not yet."
"When this is over, I will end you, Aku."
Worthy, beloved daughter, the Deliverer of Darkness thought, and said nothing.
What is hidden in the bloodline shall bring about the end.
