51. The Demon's True Form
"I will continue to pursue, The wish for Eternity, As long as it exists somewhere in this world..."
Seishirou walked through a building so old and so quiet that he convinced that almost no one was here anymore.
"That's because they're all dead," he said outloud to himself.
He paused for a moment, fingering the odd medallion he wore on a long chain. Those twin vampires had given him the slip again and he had gone through such extreme measures to pursue them. Pursue them for eternity, he thought.
He was a persistent man; he knew exactly what he needed to do in order to find them. He didn't have the power of the moon, but he found the way to traverse dimensions. Only once? Well, that was enough. And a complicated spell? That wasn't unexpected. He knew exactly was he needed to do. There was one person who get him what he wanted.
"I'll grant your wish," she said somewhat coolly, "but at the right price."
The pain was nothing. After all, he didn't need that eye in another life, nor did he need it in this one. He pushed on his glasses and handed her his medallion.
"It's only enough to get you to a limited number of worlds and there's no guarantee you'll find what you're looking for."
She gave it back, infused with the power he needed. As he left her shop, he smiled.
"You are a troublesome man," she added.
"As long as eternity exists somewhere, I will continue to pursue it no matter the price that needs to be paid, Yuuko-san."
Pursuing those twins was more important than anything. Even though the Witch's spell was limited, the feather he obtained would be more than enough to supplement what he already had.
He recalled a stream of memories, full of irrelevant events... until he remembered was a kingdom in a desert and then a young boy with could not see in his right eye.
Seishirou uncrossed one of his arms and leaned on a nearby pillar, pushing on his glasses as he did. After that artificial world and making that deal with singer, he could sense that he was getting closer to them. But they would be stronger... though the one he wanted was now sleeping.
"I wonder what Syaoran-kun is doing?" he remarked offhandedly, "I suppose we'll meet again, but will it before I find you, Subaru-kun?"
Author: Argh... Seishirou is only slightly easier to write for than say... Ashura or Chii.
