Prologue

I felt the searing agony as Suzaku stabbed his sword through my chest. I had finally found a way to die after all the things I did, all the people I'd had to kill. Suzaku even got his wish to be the one to kill me after I'd forced him to live when he was trying so hard to die. The only problem I'd encountered was the Code my blasted father had forced upon me before I sent him to C's world for eternity. The Code made me immortal until I gave it to somebody else. Suzaku agreed to become the Zero, and now he gets to stay the Zero forever.

As the sword came out the other side of my chest, I brought my blood-covered hand up and touched Suzaku's face through the Zero mask, transfering my code. It was funny really, Suzaku wanted to kill me so much, and yet he was crying in his moment of triumph. As he pulled his sword out, I felt my body fall forward and down the ramp that led to my abandoned throne. By now, the pain was so great that I was becoming numb. I was so tired, I just wanted to close my eyes. I had already seen far too much at seventeen.

I looked over a Kallen as I fell, but she wouldn't meet my eyes. She was cringing away. I then landed on the platform of the float that I had Nunally chained to. She crawled over to me and put my head in her lap. I was so sorry that I had to put her through so much. I loved her more than anything in this world or any other. It was nice to look in her eyes at the end though, after she spent so long with her big blue eyes sealed shut with Geass. She was crying.

When she touched me I felt a strange information transfer take place, and I was at a loss for a moment. But then I knew that she was aware of everything she hadn't been before. My plan behind becoming emporer of the world, everything I'd done to get where I was, and how it was all for her. My eyes finally closed, and the last things I heard were the resistance rushing in, the crowd cheering the death of the evil king, and one lone voice, my sister's, screaming my name in agony.
