She was always there.

I don't know her name, but she has long blonde hair, and is always staring off into the dark sky, sitting on the ledge surrounding the giant church bell. For six years now, that monk, now a champion, has every night been there. Everybody knew her by one name, Asura.

Her real name had been lost for a long time now, and I doubt even she remembered it. I don't know what happened, but I think she lost someone important. I don't know why, but I suppose the bells are important to her.

I am merely an acolyte here, and I am horrible at priestly duties. The only thing I am good for, however, is protecting acolytes physically. My name is Anne Eleheart, and I am born as a low class citizen.

I think she's beautiful, just like the moon that is always silhouetted behind her. I hope, one day, she can be at peace. Now, however, I think she's lost.

"Who are you?" Her voice was like silk, and ever so gracefully, her emerald gaze turned to meet mine, entrapping me in icy green beauty.

"A-Anne, miss." I said, stumbling over the words, nearly falling over from surprise.

"Anne…that's a nice name." She said to me, smiling ever so slightly. "Tell me, how old are you?"

"F-fifteen, ma'am." I bowed to her. After all, she was a legend, her Guillotine fist was so powerful. She had taken out an entire army of guilds in War of the Emperium.

"About my age when my life changed." She said, smiling at me. "Tell me, are you a great aspiring priest?" She asked, jumping down and landing soundlessly beside me.

"N-no ma'am." I said, looking away in shame. However, she grasped my chin ever so lightly, and gently turned my head toward her.

"Neither was I." She told me, smiling at me and putting something in my hand, gently folding my fingers around it.

Then, she was slowly lifted off the ground. At first I thought she was being attacked, but then I saw…

She had brilliant white angel wings, with a golden halo on her head. Within a few awe-filled seconds, she completely disappeared in the dark sky, joining one of the billions of stars that make up Heaven.

I looked into my hand, and saw that it was a letter. Amazingly, my name was written in beautiful lettering on it, with a seal of honor only given out by the highest orders. It read:

Dear Anne Eleheart,

If this letter reaches you, I will have finally been met at peace with my fiancé. My life was totally changed by her.-

Stunned, I re-read the line several times, 'her..?' I thought, before continuing.

I am now a legend in the public's eyes. I was born low class, with bad parents and no priestly skills, just like you. I would like to tell you, there is no stop for you. You will continue on in life, and will live forever in the hearts of those you touched, just like me, but I do hope you do not use the same methods as I do. Take a few days to think about it, but please consider joining the monk order as I have near your age. You may think you are not ready, but enclosed in this letter are a seal of approval from myself, a map to the temple, and something that helped me through these long six years. May Hope and Love guide you as it has me, throughout your life.

Sincerely,

Vallena the Asura Fist

An object dropped and hit the ground. Looking down, she saw a silver locket in the shape of a heart, attached to a silver chain. Engraved in it, was the words 'May this locket protect you forever.' She opened it, and in it was a tiny sketch of Asura and a mysterious lord knight, a woman she had never seen. On the right side, however there was no one. Curiously, she thought if it was meant for her to put a picture of her in there.

But one thing was for certain, she would never look at those bells the same ever again.
