Chapter 1: Prologue

A lone figure was seen sitting at a desk writing something. It was clear something was on his mind. If one could read either his thoughts or the letter he was writing, one would have seen the following.

"When did this begin?"

That is the first thing I ask myself. It's a question I been asking a lot lately. I still don't have an answer for it, but I think it started a few years ago.

It was after one of our assignments was resolved. It was not pretty by ANY stretch of the imagination. Of course, that's not exactly a news flash.

But, for me, the worst of it was that I --

No, WE almost lost you. Permanently.

To this day, I'm STILL ... affected by those memories.

I THINK that was the beginning of this, but I could be wrong. After all it might have been before that. Who knows? Not me, that's for certain.

What I'm trying to say is that --

I think I am in love with you.

I haven't told you of them because I KNOW you can, and should, find someone better suited for you than I am. But, knowing you, you'd simply smile and disagree. You're the type that would do something just to make someone else happy.

I want you to be happy with the one you TRULY want for your own. You are DEFINITELY far too good to settle for ANYTHING less that the best. And, I simply refuse to let yourself do so.

Right now, I'm just wondering why I'm writing a letter that you'll never see regarding feelings for you that you'll never know about.

I know you want someone else. I'm happy for your happiness. Seeing you happy is cause enough for my own.

What I'm trying to say is --

Ashiteru Itsumo, Boku Wa Ai to Seigi Mizu no Bishoujo Senshi Gi. Anata Wa La Watashi No Kokoro No Megami-Sama!

(I will love you forever, My beautiful Water Warrior Gi. You are the goddess of my heart.)

Sighing, the figure put the pen down and went to bed.

Shortly after, a presence was noted walking to the desk where the letter was written. A figure picked it up, and read it.

"I thought so." It smiled.

"And so, it starts."

With that, Gaia left the room with a secret smile that spoke of secret knowledge.
