Prologue to Chapter 29

- Heir of Suzaku –

            It was all happening so fast.

And yet … with my powers and abilities … I couldn't stop it.

            But I couldn't leave them; not when we had just succeeded in so many things. Was being the heir of Suzaku really worth this?

            I buried my face in my hands. Becoming a Goddess was wonderful, but to have no friends … that was something that I would never adjust to.

            I couldn't believe I had to do this … to give up everything to be a Goddess in a world of fiction.

            To give up my friends, and my life as a human being.

Sure, I was immortal now, with unending limit of power. But was it worth giving it all up?

            I sat up, straightening my back, and a determined look crossing my features.

            No.

        Never.
