Rated T. Warnings: This is a disturbing and dark psychological piece containing mentions of violence and spoilers.

A/N: This is a vignette exploring the Sorceress' descent into villainy. I happen to believe that Ultimecia is a very underrated character.

It is like something has snapped deep inside of my soul. I will not take it anymore-this is it.

I have suffered persekution my whole life whenever anyone has found out about my powers. They thought they had been skared of what I kould do. Their fear has turned into aggression and aggression has turned to torment.

They are wrong of kourse. Now I will show them the real meaning of fear. I will deliver the cherished tyrant of their darkest nightmares. There will be no more living in squalor, no more ridikule or agony. The sorceress will rise up like the phoenix from the ashes and konquer the entire world.

I will bring the nations down to their knees and rule over them as Queen...no as a GODDESS.

They want evil then I will show them evil. I will satisfy their degenerate perversions and break apart their minds. The time has kome to give the cirkus what they want, destiny is knokking at my door and I surrender in despair to the design of the aeon.

Let it be known that I fought this path hard for many years. I tried with all my heart to display kompassion, to forgive and to live in harmony with the people. I offered up my divine gift for the highest good of society but it was kruelly manipulated and abused. I wish there was another way but I do not see it. I have kome to the konklusion that life is brutal therefore I take it upon myself to bekome the emissary of death.

I am the zeitgeist of my time...

I am the vengeance of our legend...

Time will not wait and from this day on...

I am Ultimecia.
