Well, hello everyone!
This is my first fanfic on Negima (I already write something, but on another anime –D.Gray-man and Fullmetal alchemist–)
I'll say the same thing I've said on my other fanfics: I'm Italian, so go easy on me! And if you find some grammatical \ orthographical mistakes, please, let me know. Only one more thing: I knew this anime only three days ago, so, I can make some mistakes for the characters behaviour's too, if you don't like something, tell me!
Good reading!
Prologue- Another day to live
A step on the snow, silently and fleeting,
that leaves veiled its breezy trace
that leaves a road taking away…
---
That time, he remained still… that time, he didn't do anything. Only one true question still was tormenting him, just one: could he really do something? Was he able to "save"?
--
A breath unpeels itself in the cold air
and from the forest raise up their songs.
Even if running approach something
seems unfeasible;
even if your hand scratches to cling
to not fall…
--
Maybe no, maybe he wouldn't have even the strength, the guts… maybe he wasn't enough strong, that time, a little four years old aged, his tries would be useless..
But… he was still feeling guilty to have just watch them turn into stone! Guilty, crying… his grandfather, his sister, his friends… did he have the gust to help them? Did he have the guts to make a step, say those words, maybe only trying to destroy the demons? No.
But he kept saying he would die with the other, if he tried to help… so… so…
So, what?
If he'd die, now he didn't have to suffer. He didn't have to meet everyday with his guilty feeling…
--
…you slip
and the cold snow wraps around your grave self
--
He made a promise, and he would accomplish it even risking his own life. But still, that question ran feverishly inside his mind, like an endless song… could he do that? Was he able?
Him, a little child of about ten years: everything he did, gone wrong, everything he said make cry someone, he hurt one of his acquaintances, he was, like all of them say, a cry-baby, useless…
And a friend leaved, a friend disappeared, a friend died…
A friend died…
--
You shadow's large in the raising sunset
--
Yes… a friend died…
Somehow, he felt persons crowding around him, he saw them blurry and they were gripping his hand together, like trying to comfort him, like trying to make all better. Confused shadows screaming even more confused words, confused shadows, but…
Were they crying?
His face casually hit by cold water.
Drops on drops…
Drops on…
…drops…
"-gi!!"
--
useless is to scream
useless is to cry
--
"…up!!"
A familiar voice came through his ears.
"-alm down!!"
--
You look on to find a pale sea of ice
and maybe for the world's injustice
maybe for that little heart who yearns for
in the honest shade of an afternoon…
--
And just one second before the world leaved for darkness, he clearly heard two words, barely murmured near him, and the boy couldn't even remain surprise, so tired...
"I'm s-sorry…"
--
-But you know… the snow is so cold on winter.
That is the true hell-
