Eternity with You
Prologue
Tick.
There is an agreement, an unchanging agreement…
Tick.
... saying that the past cannot be altered, that it is eternity.
Tick.
The oaths and determination of the past, forever binds us and the King. And my heart does not allow my sword to change back to what it was before…
Tick. Tick. Tick.
… but… I still want to see you.
Tick –
Even if I fall into an eternal slumber… I still want him to hear this voice.
Click. Stop. Silence.
"This is a difficult matter, your dimensions are not aligned with each other." A voice speaks out of the darkness.
This is what the magus says, but I already know that the continuation of that dream is very unlikely. Yes, very unlikely indeed. Still…
The magus speaks again.
"Normally such things would never occur, and the Fates decided beforehand that it should not happen." He says this without any emotion. As I remember it, this was how he always was.
"Yet…" He lets out a sigh and continues, "… If you want this to happen, how do I put this, two miracles must occur: One must wait continuously, and the other must pursue endlessly. They must both realize that it will be impossible to succeed yet be able to endure patiently. Is that the dream you wish to truly wait upon?"
This is what the magus asks. He tells me that this sort of thing is impossible, and furthermore, it is unrelated to the duty of the King. But it is as simple as saying, 'Do you want it to come true, even though it is impossible?'
The magus seems to hear my thoughts, and replies to them. "Ah, don't be mistaken. I did not say to forsake the King's duty. Royal blood courses through your veins, and if this pride was deprived; then there would be nothing left of you. It's best to keep yourself as you are." The magus smiles. "I am really complimenting you, as a human being and as a girl you have the right to your happiness. So, I want you to understand, doing something like this is innocent."
This is what the magus says, but what else can I expect from a man like him? He has always been this way.
But… I know what he is telling me.
This is a meaningless response. This is merely the manifestation of the hope of the girl before she took up the sword. No matter what the situation, if I don't have the power to make this dream come true, how is it any different than wishing unto the stars?
Once more, the magus answers to my thoughts. "Whether or not that is correct is another topic altogether." The magus pauses for a second. "Arturia. Time is ever constant and ever changing, the only one who's still trapped in that time is you. A dream is only beautiful because it's dream-like, but I believe you would probably be happier slumbering as if dead..." Another short pause. "Even so…"
The magus does not continue.
With silent words it is being said that this is probably best. Not continuously pursuing. Not enduring endlessly. What only awaits me is the expectation of a warm sleep; my future eternity can only be met by a constant slumber.
I laugh quietly to myself. I already knew what I was going to choose in the end. There was no other option. Do not be mistaken, there was no other option not because of a restriction of choice but because a girl's heart can sway no other way. An innocent girl's heart can sway no other way…
Tick.
So… I will wait continuously…
Tick.
Tick.
Tick.
Tick…
