A KNIGHT RELEASED
Amazing.
Colors I couldn't even describe dance all around me. They fly through the air...no, fall. Falling along with me as I fall from grace, and I can hear them whispering to me as we tumble downward together. Fragments of memory flash with the words of those whispers, falling like the colors, like the illusion I am seeing. It all seems so real, but I know it isn't. I fall alone. Just me. Falling on and on, only to shatter when I hit the ground.
I land, at last, and open my eyes. The colors have all faded, my memory whole. I remember it all now. I can feel the pain, the pain of the wound he left me when he cut me down to stop me. I was mad, insane. He had to stop me so I wouldn't be able to hurt anyone anymore. I've already left far too many scars on the world, and on him. I deserve this. I deserve to die.
He doesn't know how he's wounded me, how I refuse to try and save myself. I managed to get away, to slip away unnoticed, and to hide myself here among the trees. Out in the open world that never wanted me, this is where I'll die. I don't hate Squall for this. I never hated him. I can only dream that he never hated me, but I suppose I'll never know.
Colors.
Flashes of those amazing colors again, trying to take me away. Why do I fight them? I put my hand to my stomach and bring it up to my face. I can see the crimson stains. I know I'm dying, so why can't I let myself die? I want to die, don't I? I could have caused the world so much grief. Why should I live?
It doesn't matter anymore. Nothing matters. Soon I'll melt into those colors, and I'll...pay for all I've done. At least it was Squall. I can rest knowing that he was the one who did it. I may have a scar to match yours, Squall, but now I'll finally make up for all the others I've caused.
Take care of everyone...Squall. Say...say goodbye to them...for me.
A/N: Depressing? Maybe a little? Well, in my mind, that's when Raijin and Fuujin find him. He'll be okay. He's there fishing with his posse in the end, right? He smiles up at the Garden then because Squall did it. Squall saved the world. I've loved Seifer ever since that smile. I guess I just wanted to address his immediate feelings. Hope you liked.
