I can't do this.
I can't do this.

I cast my eyes away from their smiling faces,
My heart throbbing.

I needed air.

But I stayed where I was,

My feelings slowly suffocating me.

They had no idea who I was,
What I was capable of,
What my mission was.

I watched as they bonded with their beasts,
Slowly learning about the power that they possessed.

How lovingly they talked about their beasts.

If they knew what I was,

Who I was,
What I was sent to do,

Would they forgive me?
Knowing that it wasn't my choice?

I close my eyes.
I knew what would happen.

I would be alone again.

Friends,
Who needed them?

I had to rely on my own power,
Be ready to draw my blade...

And force myself to fight back the tears,
As I stole what was most precious to them.
