This is what happens when I get bored studying SAT words…New stories!
Yay! And I got a good score on my third time. Victory dance!
Yuko: "Bring out the sake! We must celebrate!"
Watanuki: *mutters* Crazy alcoholics…
Mokona: *squeals in anticipation*
Doumeki: ….
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Nada. Not even a Mokona. *sniffles*

Sometimes, she could see too much.
Too many roads ahead of them, each twist and turn haunted by pain, regret, and what-ifs. She exhaled, and a drowsy circle of smoke dissipated in the air, leaving behind a fleeting scent of exotic spices and a hint of lavender. Interrupting her musings, the tall figure on her right began to speak, as if he could read her mind.
"There is only so much we can do. It is simply mathematically impossible, even for us, to predict the happenings in all the dimensions. The best we can do is to analyze every possible outcome and prepare for it. All our combined powers can only show us a vague outline of the unknown future."
He adjusted his spectacles with a distracted air, flipped through a large tome, rustling yellowed pages, and scribbled down indecipherable symbols; a few minutes later, he sighed. "They'll certainly need all the assistance we can offer them."
Petulantly, the lady arrayed in a fantastical dress of black asked, "What are we exactly, dear one? We are neither spectators, nor participants; nor are we indifferent outsiders."
He glanced up, his dark eyes contemplative. "We have surpassed many in the magic arts, and our lifespan far exceeds a normal human; yet we lack the omniscience and power of the gods of legend. We interfere when we must, a nudge here and there, to ensure the continuation of space-time itself." A slight pause. "I suppose we are the guardians of the dimensions, guides of sorts."
She laughed ruefully, her hair swishing around her; dark weeping willow leaves disturbed by a breeze. "That's one way of putting it."

A/N: Liked it? Please review. More to come. I'm taking a short break from Ambiguity at the moment. I'm not too sure if this is a drabble….*shrugs* Sorry for weird spacing...
