So I decided to continue this! If you've listened to the songs, then you probably know that Celestia's song got a reply from her sister! So yeah. After the last chapter, Plagg is going to talk to Tikki.
I. OWN. NOTHING.
Not Miraculous Ladybug. Not the song. Not anything.
The song belongs to whoever wrote the amazing piece of work that inspired me in the first place.
Enjoy!
Plagg curled in on himself. Hoping to block out the ever present nothingness. There was nothing for him to do but be at the center of the it and think. He had already lost track of how long he had been there, yet he was aware of every passing second.
Fondly he remembered the sweet lullaby Tikki had sent him.
Not even believing it would reach her, Plagg began to sing.
How my deeds pain me as time stretches long
And wasn't that the truth.
How could I have hurt them this way?
That will forever be the one thing Plagg regrets for the rest of his existence. Betraying the people he and his chosen had sworn to protect.
So rest easy now
My punishment's mine
The weight of my crimes are my own
The one thing Plagg always loved about Tikki: even if she was right, she would apologize to him if they were hurt.
This time though, she had no reason to feel sorry. She did what she had to do.
But into this stillness you brought me your song
With your voice my company kept
For your tired eyes
And sweet lullabies
Until Plagg was freed, this was his only way to apologize.
In exile I pay you my debt
Plagg thought back to when it all started.
Once did a kwami who gleamed like the moon
Look out at his chosen and sigh
Dejected he cried "surely there is no kwami who loves me
Or finds any love in my knight."
When it first started his Black Cat and Tikki's Ladybug were worshipped like gods, people would bow whenever they seen.
But then it grew old. People saw that Ladybug and Black Cat were just human. They were still respected and loved, but they always seemed to love Ladybug more.
It grew to the point that his chosen grew bitter, and through him, Plagg. Whenever he and Tikki would speak Plagg would just get angrier and angrier, until finally all the anger boiled over.
Looking back Plagg would give almost anything to take those words back.
So great was his pain
He rose in rebellion
Against those who cared for him most
After that final argument Plagg allowed his chosen to wreak havoc on Egypt.
He let the nightmare fall on those he'd saved
And threatened to grip them in permanent cold
It lasted for seven years. Seven years, he willingly attacked the one creature in the whole world that saw more good than bad in him. The worst part was, while it was happening, he had enjoyed it. At some point his chosen had become so twisted that his emotions made Plagg enjoy hurting his other half.
Tikki dear kawami, goodnight heart of mine
Rest now in starlight's embrace
Tikki was always the stars to Plagg. Shining and embracing the moon as one of their own. To him, Tikki was the brightest star in the sky.
May this cool lullaby reach you in dreams
And ease you your passage of days
May my apologies find you this night
And may my sorrow in kind
Plagg wished he could make sure Tikki understood just how much he regretted doing what he did. But he couldn't. At least not for a thousand years.
Tikki, you loved me much more than I knew
Forgive me for being so blind
Soon did his partner do what was demanded
And gave to the Dark Knight his due
Once he began to terrorize Egypt his chosen changed his name to Dark Knight. So that no one would ever compare him to the hero he once was.
Breaking the harmony she saved her people
And banished him as a wise hero must do
But such is the weight of the jewels that we wield
Tikki, duties we always uphold
May you forgive me that foolishness mine
And live on with no burden upon your soul
He could only hope that once this was over she would forgive him.
Tikki dear kawami, goodnight heart of mine
Rest now in starlight's embrace
May this cool lullaby reach you in dreams
And ease you your passage of days
May my apologies find you this night
And may my sorrow in kind
Tikki you loved me much more than I knew
May troubles be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind
One day, Plagg promised himself, he would find a way to fully make it up to Tikki.
The space now before us
Empty and forlorn
I never imagined, we'd face them all alone
May these sunless seasons swiftly pass I pray
Plagg knew that he could mold this infinite space to look like the world outside of it, he could even put in a sun. But he felt he deserved nothing so empty endless blackness it was.
I love you, I miss you
All these miles away
'I love you Tikki' Plagg thought. Such simple words, yet he could never bring himself to say them to her face.
May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon your bed up above the lights
And know not of heartache, fear, nor gloom
And when I dream I'll fly away and meet you soon
Sleep, sleep, sleeeep
As Plagg finished his apology he curled in on himself, silent tears streaming down his fur, wishing he could know that Tikki had gotten it.
But it would be a very long time before he knew.
Love it? Hate it? Either way review!
Also comment on whether or not you would like to see an epilogue style chapter set in the present world.
Love you all!
