Dear Dais, Cale, and Sekhmet.
Sometimes, the "Real World" is stranger than fictional stories. But now that I look back on my experiences from when I was in Japan, I now know that what is "real" and what is "false" can be the same, and sometimes, two totally different things.
I guess it started before I came to Japan. I was living in Raleigh, North Carolina, doing the things I normally do, when Cruelty entered the picture. It might sound crazy, but when Cruelty chose me, my whole life changed.
I'll never know why Cruelty chose me. When I was told about Cruelty's Former Master, Anubis, I think you called him; I refused to believe that he chosen me just because I look like his former master. At the time, I might have believed that the Armor of Spring had chosen me because I carried the required virtue. Unfortunately, I refused to believe that he had chosen me because of the way I look.
But then again, in a world where what is "real" and what is "fake" can be two totally different things, I was proven wrong when we found Anubis in the Dynasty's gold-colored lake, dead.
And that bothered me; everyone who said I looked so much like him was right. The look on his face was so peaceful, that it broke my heart. Of course, you three had it far worse than I did. You three had known him for so long that it must have been painful. I can't replace what you four once had, I know and understand this, but that still doesn't mean you three can't start over again.
Even though you three should start over, I still have problems with Cale and Dais. I was willing to give them a second chance after they tried to kidnap me, but they completely blew it when they kidnapped Tara and Irene. However, despite the fact that the three remaining seasons should start over, I have no place in your lives. I am not Anubis, and I will not replace him.
However, that doesn't mean that you three are bad people. Sekhmet has the most warm and understanding heart that I have ever seen, but he'll only open up to if you allow him to. I guess, now that I've learned a little more about the culture, that people are a little more prejudiced about other people who are "different" in Japan than they are in America.
And yet, when all was said and done, I don't hate any of you. Yes, I'm still angry with Dais and Cale for kidnapping my two friends, but for some odd reason, I just can't bring myself to hate them.
Maybe I've learned something during my stay in Japan. If I did, then it was probably this: nothing is ever simple, both sides tell a story, even if it is from two different points of view. If you want to learn the truth, you have to listen to both sides.
