Three chances, three left
Proluge
*Link P.O.V*
"No! Don't do this to her! She never did anything to deserve this! You can't treat her like she's one of them."
"She's killed so many Link, hundreds, thousands, millons, who knows. We have to seal her away to keep her from doing these things again in the next life."
"It wasn't her choice! Dread forced her too! And she was only defending herself! I can keep her from doing that in any other life! Just let her live again in the cycle of reincarnation!"
"Yes, it was because Dreadison used force to have her commit those crimes... I shall tell you this Link. In three lives, you shall see her. In each of those lives, you have one chance to prevent her from doing wrong, as well as suceeding in your wish of the two of you being in love with each other. But once these chances are used up, and you have failed, she shall be sealed, never to come back."
I looked at Corona's frozen form, a look of peace trapped on her face, stuck in a battle stance. We'd been fighting a servant of her mother's, and she'd encased her in ice. Even then, I could still see the beauty in her. A heart shaped face, sea green eyes like gems, silky raven colored hair stopping at her hips, mature womanly curves, pale skin looking even paler in the ice. Just looking at her made me remember her last words before this happened.
"I'm glad you were my friend Link. Maybe, we'll meet again someday."
Of course, after that, this Goddess who refused to tell me her name showed up and said she was sealing Corona away. And here I was now, making a deal with her to save the girl whom I wished thought of me as more than a friend.
Should I take this deal? What if I couldn't succeed in any of the lives, and then she'd be gone forever. No, that wouldn't happen. I wouldn't fail, I'd just win the first chance and then she'd be able to live a peaceful life with me.
Hold on...There was something she wasn't telling me.
"What's the catch?"
She just chuckled, and then said "She'll be born as her mother's daughter each time, going through the same pains and hardships. And you'll also have to keep her from falling for...Certain people. If she does or kills a large amount of innocent lives, then that chance is used up. Now, do you wish to seal this deal?"
I gulped, mulling the whole thing over again, then nodded.
"Yes. Now, can you free her?"
"I believe Corona is already gone, waiting to be born again. Though the life after this you won't run into her. Now, grieve little hero, for her life has ended in this part of the cycle."
With that she vanished, and I stared in horror at Corona. She was... Already dead?! I couldn't tell her of what was going to happen?! I couldn't warn her?! She was going to be tortured during her childhood again and again?!
That was no goddess, that was an angel of death, sent to torture me...Corona, please, I've given us a ray of hope for you, don't do anything to mess it up. Try to stand up to Dread for once.
Three chances to use
One may be lost
Two may be lost
All of them may be lost
But one may be the one to save the sun's ring
