Makai Kingdom drabble: Zetta's thought

I see my victory is within my grasp as my final enemy is destroyed…yet I feel no pride but…strangely empty and cold. Why can I not stop myself thinking of Salome? Of her sad face as she walked away…the feel of mana fading from her…Can I not focus? This is all such idiocy! Besides if I win back my netherworld and save her life perhaps I won't have to grant that foolish wish…her netherworld for three words. How could she be so stupid as to ask instead of having her life saved to have me speak…of my love for her…
