Authors Note: Just another Baten Kaitos inspired poem. It's first-person Spirit perspective. The content is sort of based on scattered parts throughout the whole game, along with my own ideas. Not sure how else to describe it. Either way hope you enjoy it.

Thanks goes out to lyudesshadow for being my first reviewer person, it made me feel giddy all day.

Disclaimer: Namco owns Baten Kaitos, I only own the poem.


"Until We Meet Again"

Inspired by Baten Kaitos Origins

To my family

I cannot count the times the that I have blamed myself

For your deaths

There was so much I could have done

To prevent this from happening

I could have argued against the deal

We made for power

I knew it just didn't feel right

But I was afraid to do so

Besides you all said it would be fine

So I caved and said yes

After our battle the reality of what we did destroyed our will to go on

The enemy was stronger then we anticipated

And one by one you were killed

I was paralyzed by my own fear to do anything

Except watch

Then I was killed last maybe it was a sympathy kill

For being the youngest I knew not

By a twist of fate I was given another chance of life

Although it wasn't my life, I was sharing a life with another

I did not know how long it was since our battle

Foolishly I tried to go back in time

But what was done could not be erased

From my final attempt at the impossible

I made an oath to myself

That was to live this shared life to the fullest

For all our sakes

A smile managed to cross over my face

Because I knew that no matter what happened

I would see you all again

Even though it took me so long to remember that

With that said I felt your presence around me

And knew that everything would be alright

I was also aware that you would wait for me until the end of time

So that we would be together as a family once more
