My Return
Chapter 1: Worthless
For the past six months after the great battle all I see was darkness and completely darkness. What should I expect I'm stuck with the 'darkness' itself. I sighed as I walked through the endless abyss. I don't know if my walking will get me anywhere due to the fact that there nothing here expect for darkness. No light, no scenery, just darkness.
But at least I can still hear something beyond this stupid prison. I can hear the things like rain and thunder during a storm, singing birds as they flew by. Of all the sounds I hear in this place, the sounds I really anticipate are the sounds, or should I say 'noise' that Shu and the others make every time they visit the sealed grounds like they're visiting a dead person in ones tomb.
But on the contrary I'm not dead. Being sealed with the darkness doesn't mean that I lost my own life. How can I be so sure that I'm still alive and not a ghost who cannot cross the world of the living? I just know it, no further explainations, period.
Unfortunately, this wonderful piece of information is exclusively just for me. Duh! How can I tell anyone if I can't even get out of here! This is perfect! Just perfect. Right now I here something from the brats. It seems like those kids are having their routine of fighting again in front of my "TOMB". I smiled as I listen to they unending rackets. Some things do know really change. I have to admit, I missed them a lot.
OUTSIDE THE SEALED GROUNDS
"Shu! What on earth are you doing?" Jiro snarled. Shu was taping a weird drawing in front of their late leader's tomb. Among the pillars found in the sealed grounds, they chose Blue Dragon's pillar because that is where they saw Zola(not in her monstrous form) turned into sparkling dust and vanished along with the darkness.
"I'm posting Zola's picture. Every tomb has their picture in it right?" he was almost finish when Jiro pushed him and quickly removed it then threw it somewhere. A surprised Shu quickly faced the young man and shouted.
"What is your problem? Why did you do that? What you just threw is a work of art! It took me days just to finish my masterpiece!"
"Masterpiece? That pathetic thing doesn't look like Zola!" Jiro hissed and rolled his eyes.
"You can say that again maro!" Maromaro added. Shu, the boy with a short temper, was upset from his teammates' comments and started to verbally assault the two causing them both to answer back. They're argument was no longer about art and before anything brutal happens, Kluke shouted.
"All of you! Stop it! Can't anyone remember the reason why we're here? We're here to visit Zola's tomb not to start another cockfight!"
"Kluke's right. Don't you have any respect for Zola's memories?" Bouquet added. The boys looked at each other then started blaming one another. Kluke turned her back from them started packing her things.
"What are you doing kluke? " Bouquet asked with a puzzled look on her face. Her question took the attention of the bickering boys, effectively ended their fight and stared at Kluke who remain speechless. Finally she stood up and said.
"I'm leaving." She was about to walk when the boys blocked her way to stop her from moving further.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?" Jiro said and pulled her arm to face him. Tears started rushing from Kluke's eyes.
"Kluke?" Shu was about to comfort her but before he could touch his best friend, she shouted.
"I had enough of this! It's been months since Zola left us but look at us? What's the difference? Every time we come here you always start fighting! You never change! " She started marching towards a different direction.
"Hey but our village is that way. Aren't you going home maro?" Maromaro asked.
"What's the use of living together? Were not the seven soldiers of light anymore? We don't have shadows anymore and don't forget we don't have to fight the darkness because we already sealed it WITH ZOLA! " She screamed. Deafening silence filled the place. Jiro clenched his fist snatched his bag lying on the ground then said.
"She's right. There's no reason for us to be together. Zola is the one that can gather us together. Without her, we have no purpose to be together, we don't have a mission to accomplish, therefore, were not a team anymore. I guess this is the end." He started walking to another direction.
"Oh come on guys! Please don't do this!" Bouquet fell on her knees as she watched the two leave and started crying. Sand sat beside her to ccomfort the girl and said.
"Let them go. We don't need them!" Bouquet continued crying.
"This won't happen if Zola was here maro." Maro maro sighed.
INSIDE THE SEALED GROUNDS
Great! Just great! It's my fault again! It's always my fault! I'm worthless. I deserved to be stuck here forever!
COREED LIBRARY
A man was reading beside a tall pile of books. One can notice that all of the books had a common topic: "darkness". He stopped reading and said to himself.
"Be patient 'my princess'. You'll get out from your prison." Then he smiled like a devil.
Author's note: Yup I edited some parts on the story so don't be confused. Again this is cutemimiko and I did not steal this story from myself. I'll rewrite the other chapters and post it right away.
