Daughter of White
Madoka's POV
I've always been alone. Since my mother died, I haven't had anyone to take care of me. You see, everyone in the village has the green hair. That's why it's called the Kingdom of Green. But me, I'm different. My family has not only been tainted by the Venomania bloodline, but it also carries the curse of being born with white hair. That's the reason my mother died. She was protecting me from the men that tried to beat me.
Since then, I've been going to the Thousand Year Forest. In the center of this forest, there is a tree called the Million Year Oak. It is said that there is a tree spirit there. Whenever I go there, I pray to God, hoping that if I'm with that spirit, he might listen. I pray for a friend. Something, someone, to live for. One day, I saw a girl. She was unconscious right next to the Million Year Tree. Of course, I had to help her. And that's where it all began.
However, she and I had nothing in common. She had the most beautiful green hair, and she was loved by everyone in the village.
One day I asked her, "Why are you so kind to me? Is it because you feel sympathy?"
She simply smiled and wrapped her arms around me saying, "You are the kindest and most beautiful person I know." I cried in her arms, because I finally had someone to live for. I finally had a friend.
Ai and I became closer, and soon we moved out of the village and into the city to work for a wealthy merchant. She was very kind to both of us. That's where Ai met Aichi. Aichi, the prince of the Blue Kingdom, was staying at the mansion for a few weeks, and during that time, he and Ai fell in love. Aichi was invited to a ball hosted by the princess of the Yellow Kingdom, and being the kindhearted person he was, Aichi accepted and chose Ai as his partner. However, Ai refused to attend without me, so I decided to attend to make her happy.
Soon, the Yellow Kingdom had declared war on the Kingdom of Green. Our home was burned, and everyone was killed. Only I, the one of white hair, remained. It was my entire fault. If I hadn't agreed to go, Ai wouldn't be dead. No one would have died because of war. Aichi and I later discovered Ai's body by a well in the Thousand Year Forest. She had died, with a smile on her beautiful face, by being stabbed in the stomach. That day, I swore revenge on the Daughter of Evil.
Soon, I decided to start a new life. I moved to the chapel near the seaside, and working there always gave me something to do. There, I met a girl. She was passed out by the harbor, and of course I had to help. However, she and I are nothing alike. That's where it all began.
I passed by the confession box one night and overheard that girl, Wako, confession all the sins she had committed. It wasn't possible, but there she was… The Daughter of Evil. Wako stood with a glass bottle with a piece of paper inside and headed outside. I followed. She knealed down in the water on the beach and let the bottle float away. As she watched it disappear, I snuck up behind her. Drawing my knife, I slowly rose it above my head as the church bell rang…
Ai, I have to apologize…. I never got revenge. Wako is what I was: a very lonely girl. I took her in after the incident and we both worked at the church together. She improved in her baking and the brioche she makes is delicious. But Ai, if you're still listening, I have a question for you. That night on the beach, I saw an illusion. It was a boy with white hair…. Do you know who he is?
