This is a one shot in Lina's POV. Grab some Kleenex, boys and girls. It's
a real tear jerker.. I got the inspiration for this story when I read
"Memoirs of a swordsmen" by The Flower Girl. Thank you so much for not
getting mad that I kinda copied you!!! Everyone, go read that story.
It's better then mine anyway. ^^;
If he had to leave me..
I lost the other half of my soul tonight. Oh, L-sama, it hurts just write that. I loved him so much. He didn't die the way I'd feared he would. Not protecting me, not in some bloody, painful way, but in our bed.
His passing was very quiet, very quick. Painless. Well, physically, anyway. After being married to someone for sixty years, could their death really be painless?
We got married shortly after Dark Star was defeated. Yep, Lina Inverse the sorcery genius settled down. Can you imagine?
When I was younger, I'd always thought that it would be impossible to love someone so much, that you'd want to spend your entire life with them, let alone sacrifice the whole world along with everything you were just to save them.
It's funny how irony works, because the second I met Gourry that day in the woods, somewhere deep down, I realized that that kind of love was real. In fact, from the moment I saw him, I knew I wanted nothing else then to be with him always.
The whole Sword of Light thing was like a heaven-sent blessing. Me pretending to want it seemed to fool everyone and I could almost convince myself that those stupid feelings would go away. Years passed, and they never went away.
He knew today was his last. I could tell by the way he spoke and the way he looked at me before we went to sleep.
When Gourry ran his hands through my once fire-colored hair and told me he loved me, I began to cry. He just held me close and spoke of all our adventures. I fell asleep first. I left him first. Oh L-sama how could you do this to me! He fought so hard for me and all I did was let him go. I let him go.
I never wanted this! I never wanted to fall in love! I never wanted to be weak.. Because that's what love is. A weakness. It makes your knees shake and your palms sweat and sometimes you lose your breath because everything inside you is going too fast. And then, when love's had it's fun, it destroys you.
There's nothing better. There's nothing worse. I don't regret anything in my life. Not Gourry, not love, no matter how much it's hurting me.
I think I hate him right now, for leaving me. I know it's not his fault. As I said before, he fought so hard for me. But I suppose, if he had to leave me, there was no better way.
The End
You know what's sad? I almost cried when I edited this. Seriously. Tell me what you all thought!!
