Fox picked up his pen in the dead of night, a glass of whiskey his only companion in the long hours of nothingness which he endured.

Dear Krystal, he wrote.

I'm sorry. Sorry that I didn't listen to you. Sorry that I hurt you.

You've given me so much...friendship and love and affection. And all I've given in return was pain. I took away your family and your friends. I'm no better than Andross himself. I wish you had never even met someone like me.

He glanced at the jeweled staff on his right, the one she left on the Great Fox the day he forced her to leave.

I'm trying to arrange for your staff to get back to you. It's not much, but I hope I can do just one thing right for you before I'm gone. After that, please forget me. Find someone else who can love you the way you used to love me.

Goodbye, Krystal.

Love,
Fox

After he finished signing off on the parchment, Fox took a blank stare into space, trying to reminisce about all the good times he's had. But, there were none. All he could remember, and all he could ever remember, was that fateful day he made the worst decision of his life. He loved her, and yet he kicked her off the team. Why? To protect her? To keep her safe? If he had told her any semblance of the truth, then she would refuse to leave. And he would rather die than let her get hurt.

Ever since, he's been devising ways to get her back, to no avail, and he had nobody to blame but himself. To him, there was no point in staying in this situation any longer. He had fulfilled his father's duty and his own vengeance, and he had no desire to live in a system in which his legacy would live on. His last plan, fortunately, was to leave the system itself.

He packed the letter into an envelope on his desk, and scribbled "To: Krystal" haphazardly on it, hoping that it would be enough to reach her someday.

Not that it would ever matter.

Not where he was going.


Some of you may know me from my reviews. Long story short, I've decided to start writing. I'm a bit new at this, so I'm just going to start real slow with this story idea that I've had for a while now.

Leave a review if you can, and I'll definitely try to update promptly!
