Fuu sat alone in her bedroom. Ten
years ago, she would have been spending time outside with her precious friends,
Hikaru and Umi. Ten years ago, she never would have been this lonely. But now
was not ten years ago. Time had marched unstoppably onwards, slowly changing
Fuu's life for the worse. Her friends had drifted away to forge their own
lives with their loved ones, leaving Fuu alone as time and distance slowly
forced a wedge between the Magic Knights. She did not blame them for going
away, but she did miss her friends, and envied them. She wished she could have
someone to love and forge a new life with. Once, she thought that was possible.
But, the love of her life, too, grew distant, leaving her more alone than ever.
She did not blame him, either. He was stubbornly doing what he felt was right,
and that stubbornness when it came to moral issues was one of the things she
loved in him. One of many things. Though curiously, it seem that his distance
had caused her more pain and loneliness than her friends', though she
would not say that she loved them any less than him.
Fuu sat restlessly at her desk, wondering what she could do to make herself feel better. Her roving eyes settled on a piece of lined notebook paper.
"Perhaps writing out my emotions will help me sort things out…" Fuu said out loud to no one in particular. Taking a quill out of the ink (unfortunately, Cephiro had yet to invent either pencils or pens, and importing them was expensive), Fuu began to pour her heart out into a poem that defined herself.
A
storm's winds protect it from harm
But
my guardian wind is also my captor
What
happiness I have
They
push away
My
loves and friends
And
keep me sadly alone
Those
who have reached
My
sanctuary/cell
Were
gradually pushed away
By
these never-ending winds
Won't
you please brave the hurricane
And
comfort my lonely soul
Won't
you please,
~end of chapter one~
Disclaimer:
Fuu, Cephiro, Umi, Hikaru, etc. belong to clamp and bunch of other people who don't happen to be me. The poem is mine.
Chapter 2 will be up whenever I finish it.
Please R&R. All flames will be used to ignite my little brother's hair.
