Review Commentaries:
imaginedreams22: You'll just have to wait and see when I add the new content next chapter. :)
ginger sugar: Thank you for your review. You seem to have an opposing view to that of imaginedreams22. Well, all I can say is you'll have to wait till the next chapter. Hint: SIGIL. :)
(Story)
Staring out over the hot asphalt, Lelouch could hear the silence surrounding him. It was so quiet he could barely hear the whispers on the wind, 'Onii-chan?' It struck a thought in him he had not pondered on for many years. How long ago was it that he stared over the Pacific Ocean, towards an island chain he had only ever read about in books, and cringed at the thought of his sweet Nunnally calling him that name: Onii-chan.
The word in a way symbolized what he saw as his prison he had been condemned to by his father, not the islands of Japan, but as Nunnally's older brother; it would be down to him to protect her from there on out; to create an environment, if not an entire world for her where she could live peacefully.
When he had arrived, he had been treated with the utmost hatred, and his sister no better than he. Peaceful children scorned them, working adults vilified them. You could from now and then still hear parents telling their children of the horrible Britannian Royal children who were watching them, and if they did anything bad, those same Britannians would devour their souls and feast upon the flesh of their parents.
Again looking out from his mind's post, all Lelouch could still see was that same hot asphalt. All he could hear was the deafening silence. In whatever form he had been given it by God, the sigil glow on his back was noticed by none, not even he, himself, felt the touch of 'God' upon his back. However, he had a good reason not to notice the buzzing feeling of activity on his back.
The angry wound through his chest and back served nearly most of the teenage Emperor's mind. That, and the masochistic tears of blood still weeping from his torso in rivulets.
From a distance he felt those same soft hands of his sister touch his, and then felt her visions. Whatever was going on, he couldn't care to explain it. Everything was at peace now. He could finally die. Repent at last for his sins, and all those who died in or against his name. Lelouch, Zero, Emperor. But those three titles, when he reached inside himself, barely held meaning to Clovis, Mother, Nunnally, Shirley, Suzaku, Kallen, yes, even Rolo in his own demented way. From here on he would be hated, despised, and yet he couldn't bring himself to care in the lightening feeling of salvation spreading through his limbs.
He stared out endlessly, parting his lips only to say to the heavens themselves in defiance. That despite fate's constant stab at his heart and plans, all he had hoped for had succeeded. "Yes, I...destroy worlds...and create worlds."
As he finally felt the coldness sink in he had a parting thought; his prison had achieved everything he had hoped to make and everything he could not make. Why not lead the life after it in peaceful tranquility? Why not even become a farmer in some rural area with a green-haired witch?

AN: May 10th, 2011: I told you guys I couldn't keep my promises very well. Instead of Haremization or Everything, I have once again averted to another story to begin making edits (which are now complete) and add new material for my wonderful story (can you tell I'm proud of it?) Parting Thoughts. It has the new standard format, review commentaries at the beginning of the chapter, and an author's note at the beginning being used as a disclaimer! Holy Crap! New content to be added soon...maybe? Anyway, please review! I so love all reviews: love and hate reviews.
Author's Announcements:
I know hardly anyone reads my profile (which wouldn't matter since it's out of date anyway), so I have posted these following announcements in all of my stories to let you formally know that I will be attempting to write chapters for most of my stories once again. I cannot guarantee anything, but I am most willing to make the effort.
That's the important part. Here come the details (your queue to leave if you want).
Reasons Why I Haven't Been Writing:
Well…geez, put me on the spot without time for cookies or milk. I haven't been writing mostly because of the combined dedications my life has required of me. In the time since I wrote Memoirs of a Time Traveler I have done the following things, each further complicating my life as a burgeoning adult:
1. Began a polyamorous relationship.
2. Managed to get my girlfriend of five years pregnant.
3. Fought with the parents of the newest member of our 'Triad' in the Triangular relationship.
4. Finally given up the idea of trying to treat both of my girlfriends equal in public status and married my pregnant girlfriend (to avoid the evil state of Indiana's bureaucracy).
5. Had my mother-in-law move in to help us with bills.
6. Had a child whom we call Alex.
7. Managed to obtain a 35 hour job (which previously had been 20 hours since after #3 but before #4).
8. Have continued my undergraduate education throughout the entire process.
Reasons Why I Will Begin Writing Anew:
These are the reasons why I'm more optimistic about a renewed writing!
1. Resigned from my job since my boss is a douche and was probably going to fire me anyway.
2. Finals are over!
3. Looking for another job and taking care of Alex, but still plenty of free time from the additional hours (some 70 in my week) which have been freed up recently.
4. Because I hate to see 'abandoned' on my stories!
I look forward to presenting everyone with wonderful new material on old ideas. Let it be known, however, that not all of my lack of posting is from a lack of writing. I have written three chapters for various stories when my computer crashed around seven months ago. Don't blame me, blame the elves.
So, without further ado, I bid you welcome into a new age of writing by Ultimagu.
