"Oh, Emeraude, if only you knew how much I loved you... If only I could give you the stars, the sky, everything, and even then, that wouldn't show just how much I loved you.Words could never express the love I have for you. Emeraude... I love you" He replied, his voice filled with truth; but angst and pain lingered in his words. For we both knew what sadness ruled our loves. For we could never have each other.

I felt a gentle hand stroke at my face, running through my hair. My eyes fluttered open, the sunlight pouring through the cracks of the windows and onto my face. I drew the covers up to my chin, exausted, yet utterly content. A shock ran through my body, as I buried myself deep into the thoughts embedded in my mind.
A pair of hands reached over and touched me, pulling my fragile form closer to his comforting body. Tender lips found their way into my hair, my face, my mouth, as I trembled. I turned my body over, facing his open arms. I searched in the depths of his heart, finding strength and solace in them. I had never felt so safe and content in my life, lying in peaceful bliss in his eyes.
"Zagato..." I said, a smile drawing at my lips. I looked at him like a true lover, giving my entire existance to him. We were one body and soul, now and forever. He kissed me, running his hands through my hair, looking at me with such a passion that it sent shivers down my spine. He pulled me into his arms, warm and strong, as I closed my eyes and sighed happily to myself. I caught myself whispering his name over and over again, as he tenderly caressed my head and back. I slipped my fingers up to his chest, placing my head there upon my hands. Gently, he rocked me from side to side, leaving his lips in my hair. I pulled back, our eyes locking.
"Emeraude... I love you so much... I swear, I will find a way to let your heart be free..." He whispered to me, taking my hands in his. His eyes filled with despondency and determination, the mixed feelings deep inside both of us reminding us of our cruel fate. He stroked his hand on my cheek, as I caught the tears falling down my cheek. I placed my hand atop his, lulled into a delicate trance by his loving eyes.
"Free..."
~*~
Gradually, my prayers became less meaningful; day by day. I could not stop thinking about Zagato. But sadly, the more often I thought of him, the sadder I became. Our love for each other was the greatest secret in Cephiro, or so it seemed in my eyes.
But, should love be kept a secret? Should it forever be condemned to be nothing but a whisper in the wind, hidden in the shadows of a lover's life?
I suffered greatly, hardly ever getting a chance to talk to him. All we could do was stare longingly at each other, the other inhabitants of the palace unaware of the enigma that loomed wherever we went.
My own weak heart is what brought me to think of the Legendary Magic Knights.

I drew my hand along the silky banister in the palace ballroom; silent and still. The only sound came from the shuffling of my feet, as I carried my body aimlessly throughout the palace. Slowly my pace diminished, leaving me standing hushed and alone. My ear caught the undistinguishable sound of somebody speaking. It sounded increduously like Zagato. I felt my heart murmur inside my chest, picking up speed, until I could hear it drumming in my ears. Zagato...
"Casselia, you know you are the only one for me. Now, I must leave, before I am caught. What would my brother think?"
My breath caught. What was this he was talking about? Casselia? His only love? No, it couldn't be... I slowly peeked behind a secure pillar, one of many that were scattered about the room. I heard footsteps near me, coming closer and closer. It couldn't be... It couldn't be... And then at once, I saw him. Though he looked vaguely different in appearance, I could make out his wonderfully dark sapphire eyes, strong chin, and deep voice.
Zagato.
