D.H. A.N.: I stand corrected, the community these prompts are from is called 30 Nights. Regardless of the title, I'm back with another prompted one shot, this prompt being "Like an art piece."
# 2:Yu-Gi- Oh! Bond: Marik & Mheralo Ishtar; Cannon X OC shipping: Slight Jewel (Marik Ishtar X Filiron Rylae)
A.N. 2: This is a blend of relationships, and feelings. There is a certain rhythm to this piece if you will, but it varies. This is my first attempt at Marik through 1st Person POV, a POV you will only see in these one shots. I apologize for it being so short. Please enjoy The Traits I See.
The Traits I See
She is like her mother more so than me. Her eyes are the only trait that I can truly claim as mine. Her face is fair, temperament plain, save when it flares.
The traits I see are those of a combination only an artist could manage to bring together in perfect harmony. Her hair, my eyes, her depth, my mind, I could go on about how she is like an art piece, but one would only see the true magic if they could overlay the face of my Mheralo upon the face of my dear Filiron Rylae.
He misses her so very much. I cannot tell which of them he would rather see in me; the traits of my mother or he. I see my father whenever I flash one of my rare conceited smirks; yet even then I cannot help but think he sees the image of his lost beloved in my slightly defiant expression.
There are traits I see in him that somewhat perplex me as to where they come from. His soft gentle voice he uses often, his endearing gaze that he somehow wills it with the refusal to freeze me where I stand, although the ice is always there and he could use it at will. In essence when all these elements are in him, my father is an artist's finest accomplishment, one that leans in both cold and warmth, effectively acting in an equality that I'm certain if placed upon anyone else, would be inefficiently executed.
I'm certain that they were for each other and no one else. But their happiness was cut short, and therefore, it is understandable that my mother's traits would be the traits my father sees in me.
The traits I see come back to me as often as I need, the memories I hold of them are those which I could only hope to share with the one who has the traits I'd rather see, the traits that are of my sweet Filiron, rather than me.
D.H.: These Prompts are interesting to do, and have allowed me to vastly open up my characterization repertoire. I hope that wasn't sad; although it kind of reads that way, it lets me explore the characters' minds more, which is the purpose of my one shots. Please review. Thanks
