Summary; Natalia x ? Natalia receives a gift from a mysterious being who promises she'll never be alone again. Little did she know, it would become a far greater heartache than her loneliness.

Disclaimer: I do not own tales of the abyss, or any of the beautiful characters, I make no profit from this (not that this would anyway xD).

I also don't own Gackt Kamui/Camui or his songs, I effing wish I did atm, cause he's SMEXY!

A/N: ELLO ELLO readers from all around, hopefully ones that CAN read English xD hehe, thanks first of all for bothering to click on this story, cause... Well, I don't write much, and this is a first for tales of-anything xD. I was Inspired by the song which is mentioned through the story, it's by the Japanese artist Gackt Kamui/Camui; the song it called 'last song'.(Gackt is phit) I was really struck by the song when I heard it randomly on the radio one night, and I downloaded it, found what the lyrics meant, and utterly spazzed with ideas for a tales of the abyss story, cause tbh, they fit with a lot of people, as you can see when I get to it xD Anyway, PLEASE enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it, and help me along the way to improve it, reviews are welcome, but please be nice, I'm fragile XD

Chapter one: A promise unfulfilled-

~Before this body disappears, I want to reach the wish I have now

Once more, I want to hold you~

Nighttime had never usually seemed this sweet in Tataroo valley; the snow had set upon the ground, and continued to fall from the sky, catching itself on the already snow white Selenia flowers that remained in bloom all year. Yes… it had been another year since Luke had returned to them, but to the young Kimlascan Princess, it had felt like a lifetime since she'd seen her Luke. As she gracefully placed herself atop a rock, she held back some of her hair from blowing into her face. Heaving a sad sigh, she gazed out into the dark abyss of the night, thinking only of a promise unfulfilled.

Closing her eyes, she began to shiver from the harsh chill that had consumed her during the day she'd spent in this very spot. It was a usual routine nowadays for Natalia to wander away from her escorts to this place; but something had been tugging at her lately. 'What am I still doing here?' she asked herself, already knowing that the answer was simple: she was waiting. It wasn't like her to copy another's actions, or to remain in a set pattern day after day, but that aside, she had taken up a schedule of waiting in Tataroo valley from dusk till dawn, just as Tear had when she waited for Luke to come back. Now it was Natalia's turn to wait for her Luke to return. A pointless task that wouldn't prevail. Natalia had known for a year now that her Luke now resided inside of Luke's body, and that they were indeed one being now, but nothing that anyone said could stop her heart from grieving. Maybe she needed a hobby, maybe she needed to talk it out with a friend, it didn't matter to her… Natalia would still sit atop this same stone waiting for her long lost Luke to sweep her off of her feet and- She laughed to herself a little. "as if he'd-" She paused mid-thought and gazed yet again into the distance… "-Do that…" she finished. The wind picked up suddenly, and the air turned bitter against her skin.

"Brrr, it's freezing" She announced to herself, and she hugged herself tight, shielding her frozen body with her arms. 'So, I guess this is how it has to be…' she thought to herself as she gripped tighter onto her arms. '… It's not fair…' She hung her head, and curled her knees up to her chest and began to shake uncontrollably. 'It's not fair…' she repeated in her mind. "… It's not." she whispered to no one. Tears began to well up inside of her stinging eyes, and the wind picked up again, forcing snow to bombard her frail form. She was alone again. No one was there to catch her when she fell, or encourage her to be strong, or to take her hand into theirs with kind words to keep her from crying. She'd spent years waiting for a promise… a promise unfulfilled…

Amidst the sting of the cold air and the noise of the wind's movement, Natalia picked out the sound of a sort of shuffling. She raised her head slightly to view the horizon in front of her. There, walking in the moonlight towards Natalia, was a silhouette, seemingly cloaked and shuffling through the Selenia's and the snow. '…?' Natalia's eyes lit up with curiosity, as she moved from her huddled position on the rock, and stood up, still clutching either side of her in an attempt to shield her body. "Who's there?" she called out to the figure. As it drew closer, Natalia reached for her bow and arrows, just for precaution's sake. "Answer me!" She demanded once again, pulling two arrows unto the bow.

Then Natalia heard a voice call out that she could only describe as ill, and tried to pick out the words it said. "Yulia's score has crushed your heart, child" The silhouette said. "I have a gift for you, child. Take it, and free yourself from this cruel ending…"

~In your heart, if I disappear along with all these snowflakes,

I want to bloom in your heart once again~
