Author's Note: This story is purely fan-based; I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, nor any of its associations. The story will get more interesting, and more plot-based, this is simply the exposition. However, like most prologues, it reveals something about one or more of the main characters and is quite important. Anyhow, I'm rambling. Enjoy. Rated M for later chapters, some of which I've already drafted.
Remembrance
A single teardrop, icy as the person who'd shed it…
A golden star, bright as her life's light…
A roaring fire, passionate and melting the heart…
An unopened letter, sealed with the blood that was spilt…
My Dearest,
It seems as though centuries have passed since that fateful day. I battled for my brother and I's freedom. And I had won it, prideful I am. But I had promised you something, that in time, with my newfound power, I'd forgotten. I am not asking for your forgiveness. I want nothing more than to see you again, and to reawaken the only piece of my childhood memory which was pleasant. Call it selfish, that I want to see you for my own reasons. Though, I have a feeling you may return such a gesture as this.
Many consider me to be a monster; I just do as I must to keep my brother and me safe. I've been fighting a pointless battle my entire life, and you know that better than anyone. I don't care for what I do sometime; I admit, there are days when I'd like to give up entirely. But thoughts, memories, such as the dear ones I hold of you are what keep me alive.
What I did was wrong; I curse myself a thousand times over, and still have not been able to rid myself of the guilt of my acts. Please fly back to me, my beautiful bird. Though as I have written those words, my mind aches in desperation, in despair, for I fear it may be too late. I fear you may never receive this letter. That thought pains me too greatly. If by some chance, you are able to give a fleeting glance to my meaningless prose, know this:
I am sorry.
Forever Yours,
