Based on the song from Pokemon Black and White. (also N's Farewell, but…)
Character: Lloyd Reed
Summary: Everyone started out alone. Character death.
Everyone started out alone. Alone, empty, quiet, cold.
Lloyd was far from an exception. He lived a few years as an only child before getting a younger brother - Linus. It was a strange day, having to live with a younger brother. Mother paid him more attention, Father was doing jobs. It was an odd new life, one that he eventually grew to love.
Linus idolized him. From his sword technique, to his overall personality. In his young eyes, Lloyd was perfection. Utter perfection.
The first time they went on a mission, Lloyd was fascinated. Their father was one of the best fighters that he had ever seen. As Lloyd grew older, he found out what the organization was.
The Black Fang.
When Lloyd was twenty three, he went to find the Sword Demon, Karel. His tutelage was short, but Lloyd became one of the greatest swordsmen in the world. When he came back, Linus demanded everything. They trained for many months, and Linus was almost as good. Lloyd, however, kept improving beyond that.
Lloyd made his fighting his own. He put his heart and soul into the art and made a name for himself. His epithet - the White Wolf.
His father, Brendan Reed, gave the two of them their own swords. Lloyd's was the Regal Blade, a sword whose beauty was unmatched by any other. He cherished it, and it was the partner blade to Linus' own sword.
Eventually, the both of them were partnerless. Lloyd, without a brother. The Regal Blade, without a twin. Lloyd, offset by grief and distraught, brought his men to fight against the men of Eliwood's camarade.
They lost.
But, they refused to kill him. Nino convinced them not to and Lloyd found himself lonely once again, unable to reach salvation in the form of death. Ah, his entire family was dead, the Black Fang's vigilante name ruined… There was nothing he could do anymore.
He followed Eliwood's gang to the Dragon's Gate. There, he found Nergal. There, he saw his friends - Uhai, Ursula… his father. And most importantly, his brother, Linus.
The man found himself facing the only one he would sacrifice his life for. The only one whom he would do anything, even die, for. Lloyd pushed his hair back, let out a morbid chuckle and had a sad smile on his face. In his hand, the Regal Blade, aching to be reunited.
The two brothers, so similar, moved to strike with the intent to kill. Lloyd could feel a numbness as the blade ran through him, and tears clouding his eyes as his own sword ended the morph's life.
The small smile on Linus' face brought the tears down, and as he lay there with quietly decreasing voices. There was a fading coldness on his hand, and he wanted to grasp it, but couldn't find the strength. A bit of rain was falling on his face and there was a blur of green hair and lavender hair, before everything went black.
