Something I wrote to audition for Helios.


Helios stuffed a hand deep into his pocket as he titled his head to look at the ever-changing night sky.

The sky changed from blue to purple as Helios thought of the sacred land he was standing in. Elysion. Helios looked over his shoulder to the ruins behind him. This land was where the golden kingdom once reigned and now serves as protection for Earth. This land was also most importantly, his home.

The sacred land had served as his home for many more years then humans would think is possible and Helios had always been happy here. But thoughts began to plague him.

A girl had been consuming his thoughts since the moment he returned to this land. His maiden. Helios closed his eyes to the now-pink sky as he thought of the pink girl.

Helios knew he was a quiet character, even around his two helpers Helios barely held a conversation, but something about her made his heart race and his mouth spew anything that came to mind. As long as whatever he said would make her look at him. Helios smiled. If you had told him a month ago that he would have fallen for such a loud, sometimes clumsy, brave girl, Helios would have laughed. But alas, here he was pining for a girl in another world.

Helios cringed at the word 'pining' but he had no better word to describe his state. Helios took his hand from his pocket and lightly brushed his lips remembering. Once again a smile came to him. Helios would wait, like he had for years until the time was right then he would make his move. Helios looked back up into the green sky, "Until then, Chibiusa."
