Ka
KKKKKKKKKK
I remembered everything.
I remembered everything I had gone through up to that point. I remembered all the names and faces of those I had met and loved, but…I couldn't remember the feeling of that love. I couldn't remember the feeling of anything. I was so…lifeless.
They helped me through all of the battles, each trying to prod me in the right direction, but I couldn't understand why they would even bother. Their efforts meant nothing to me…everything that I knew meant nothing to me. I couldn't remember how it felt to love them, and so I wandered on alone, unable to notice that they were still with me in spirit, even though my body left them behind.
But my last battle…
I don't know why she was last. Maybe she hesitated because she was afraid I was too far away already. It doesn't matter. She was there in the end, and if looking back I remember anything, I'll remember this: I had only to see her face and hear her voice for me to remember love. Her love and the strength of my love for her made me remember myself like nothing else would. Over the long months together, she—a wonderful apprentice to the very end—stole a piece of me away, kept it safe, and gave it back when it was needed.
And so, without my knowing it, she became my soul—my Ka--and brought me back to everything I knew...and loved.
KKKKKKKKKK
Another random thing. Reviews? Oh. By the way, 'Ka' is Ancient Egyptian for soul. I was playing the game again, and right in the middle of Zidane's 'I have no soul, so I'm gonna be a loner' thing, this little gem popped to mind. Needless to say, I paused the game and dashed to my computer where I wrote it down.
So, enough of my useless prattling….
Review?
Thanks
