Title: Unmei (Fate)
Style: One shot

Author's Notes: This is just a simple Emeraude-hime POV. She happens to be my favorite character of the MKR series so I decided to write about her.

Zagato..

Why?

Why are you willing to sacrifice so much ... for me?

So many lives ended.. for me.

So much devastation... for me.

Sometimes, I wonder what goes on within your heart. You encase me into this orb, defeat anyone who attempts to rescue me, and are willing to risk your life to keep me here.

All this agony and suffering.. I cannot .. I just cannot..

Zagato, please, stop this. I am not worth all the pain everyone is enduring. It is too late for me. I have already failed my world. The world that counted on me and me only to bring peace and prosperity. I have failed Cephiro.

... If it were not for this rule.. this horrid rule that forbids me to fall in love, I would be in your arms for eternity. However ...

Magic Knights, it is the fault of my selfish heart that you were forced to be summoned here. To this dangerous world in order to embark on a life-threatening journey. I cannot forgive myself. The truth of your mission ... I am sorry I did not tell you from the start. You thought you were here to save me from Zagato. To save the land of Cephiro and all of it's inhabitants. I am sorry ...

My heart will forever haunt me with the images of the pain experienced of those who tried rescuing me. It is my fault. Madoushi Clef, Inouva..

I do not regret my feelings for you. If I had the ability to return to the time of the awakening of my love for you, I shall not change anything. I would love you all over again. I would endure this heart wrenching pain .. all for you.

However, this is not the way. No one should die for my carelessness.

Zagato, I shall never forget what you whisper to me .. the words my heart survives on while it is being dissolved away by guilt and my unforgivable crime. The words that provide the slightest feeling of warmth all those nights. I know you do not wish for me to shed tears. Still, when I think of what was happened, I .. cannot control myself...

Please, Zagato. Don't fight the Magic Knights! I cannot bear the thought of you becoming injured. I cannot. They do not know what my true intent of them coming here is. Let them be...

This is what I deserve. I have let down my people, my land. This agonizing pain .. stirring up within my body. The pain everyone calls guilt.

I beg of you .. cease your efforts to save me. My fate cannot be disturbed. Cannot be changed.
Let them free me as you have wished. Let them release me from the trials of my life. I shall never forget what you have done for me. Never forget how much you were willing to give up for me. Never forget how much I love you ... and how much I always will.. forever and always.

;-; I adore this couple. It's short, I know, but I just needed to write something to make sure the Writing Block Monster didn't settle onto me.
