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.
