Endless Eyes
By: Neko-chan
One by one, they leave me until I'm left all alone. I'm used to it by now. But still...it gets so lonely. I've seen many Pillars come and go. They're here only for a short time, really. And I've seen many Pillars die at the hands of the Magic Knights.
I can't hate them. As much as I try, I just can't hate the Magic Knights. They are there for a reason--and I've seen the reason why so many times already... Destruction, chaos, death--my world in tatters. In the beginning, I would do anything to stop the Magic Knights. But now I see that they have a purpose, a reason for being. I only wish...
Master Mage Clef, that's me. I stand in the shadows, waiting for people to notice me. But they don't. They only notice me when they need something only I can provide. I'm tired and I'm lonely. Can't they just go and do it themselves?
Too much death, too much destruction, too much chaos, too much time... The years pass on by, blurring one into another. Too many years... Just...too many years.
Once again, I stand in the shadows, watching others live their lives. I am ready to be called, ready to be needed. But...no one calls me. Year after year after year...until the cycle starts once again and I must help the Pillar summon the Magic Knights. 'Oh, please, Gods, not again. Not another time... Please...no more...'
And then: No more.
Shadows hide others extremely well, did you know that? Blending in, becoming one with the darkness you hide yourself in. In the beginning, I didn't want to hide. In the beginning, I didn't chose to hide. But what to do when no one notices you? Ever. Year by year...century by century...time passes slowly on by.
And my eyes become endless.
