Author's Note: For Mere-chan, to celebrate (though this isn't much of a celebration piece).
I have been fearing this moment for a millenium. I have not seen him since he died- a white angel protecting me.
In a way, I'm glad I don't have the ginzuishou- if I did, I would be no choice but to attack, and I don't want to. I love him too much and couldn't stand if I hurt him. Not again.
But I will- as soon as he sees me, the cycle will begin.
The ships that the Blue Prince designed are descending. I imagine that I can hear Rubeus' laughter as he lays siege to my beloved city.
As Demando materializes in front of me, I raise my eyes to him, angry and sad at the same time. He is so beautiful, yet he seeks to mold my world, my Empire, and myself. Looking into his eyes -those imperial purple eye I remember so well- I am surprised. I had never expected him to be so gloatingly triumphant over it.
A surge of anger overwhelms me, and I clench my fists, longing to do something. It is not in my nature to be passive, and submit. But I have to, if time is to play itself out properly. It is too late to do anything; it was too late from the very beginning.
It is a curse to know your own destiny, for it makes you nothing more than an actress filling out a part. I feel his power strike me, and I am in agony. He is so powerful. My body feels agony, before a refreshing wave of power rolls over me- my senshi had been waiting. I close my eyes and feel the crystal form around me.
As I lose consciousness, I realize that when I wake up, I will finally be free. Not just free of Demando's desire for me, or free of the crystal itself, but free to live my own life again. No longer will the knowledge of my destiny loom over me like a dark cloud without a silver lining.
Still, a part of me is saddened by the thought- for when I awaken, Demando will be dead.
THE END
