a/n: Ok....i wrote this a LONG time ago. And the rhyming is suppost to be kinda tacky...hehe....please R&R
I walked up the gray path, reminding myself:
"She'll recognize my face, don't expect anything else."
Knocking softly on the door just so she could hear
No one opened the door, the worst I had feared.
She probably had locked herself inside her room
Thinking and crying over her life she called doom
Her purpose for crying at night all alone?
Was the fact that she blamed herself about this poem
Tears coming to my eyes when remembering that day
The day my friend's spirit quickly died away
Her ruby red eyes that could pierce through skin
And her beautiful hair that sailed peacefully through wind
Her eyes lit like fire, her hair shined a glow
Her maroon and yellow outfit gliding with flow
It had all faded away, with her radiant glow
The moment she had no choice but to let go
Let go of her dreams and a man she loved dear
The day she always remembered unluckily so clear
The day she remembered was a horrible one
The day she thought she was going to have fun
A new journey for them
Not about gems
Not about money
Not about gold
Not about riches
The journey was about finding a cure
This is the story that I will tell
Of a sorceress named Lina and a chimera named Zel:
It started when the two of them were on the road
Searching for his cure, obeying no code
They were attacked – caught off guard by surprise
(this was the day she lost the fire in her eyes)
She fought the attackers and had thought she saved the day
Until she saw Zelgadis, lying on the ground not to far away
A black cloaked being was hovered over him
Stabbing him with his sword had clearly pierced through his stone skin
The being was laughing, Zel yelling in pain
Howling and screaming Lina Inverse's name
Lina dashed across the plains and defeated the cloaked beast
She removed the sword and helped Zel to his feet
Together they cast a recovery spell
But nothing seemed to work on the wound stuck in Zel
The sword that struck him – had evil force was inside
It was passed on to Zel, and soon he would die
Zel held Lina tightly, afraid of his life without his love
He prayed that L-sama would let him watch her from above
He began to grow weak and started to slip away
Lina gently laid him down, wishing that there was a way for him to be saved
Lina knelt beside him, holding his hand
Zel tried to memorize her face, he knew he'd soon pass onto the next land
"I love you Zelgadis, I always will
I hope one day you'll forgive me – this is all my fault – I got you killed"
"No – don't blame yourself, Lina – this must be the gods' ways
I'll never stop loving you, I'll see you again someday"
Zelgadis pulled Lina close for one last kiss good-bye
Her warm tears falling onto his face as he took his last breath and died
Lina dazed with disbelief – he couldn't really be gone
She held his limp body in her arms and cried for him all day long
Lina cried endlessly for the one she loved
She yelled and screamed in anger at the heavens above
Because when she finally found the happiness that was missing in her life
The gods took it away – turning her morning into night
She knew now that she no longer had meaning in life
And that's when her fire stopped shining so bright
She silently faded from the world, as she slowly disappeared
Her name became faded history – no longer feared
"Lina Inverse, you ask? – she's been long gone
Some say she gave up and ran away, no one really knows"
That was the type of talk that soon erupted across the lands
She was never heard from again after Zelgadis Greywers died in her hands
She never fought another bandit, never stole another piece of gold
She gave up her life rituals, without Zel her world was empty and cold
Her eyes lost their fire the moment Zel passed away
The one who made her complete was gone, and she never forgot that day
If only she hadn't heard the rumor, Zel would still be alive
And as fate would have it – the rumor was false – nothing but a lie
She lived her slow endless years alone, slowly waiting for her end
Hoping for the day that she would die so that she would see Zel again...
So without a response, I left and never saw her again
Until her funeral years later, when her life finally came to an end
No one showed up, everyone thought she died years ago
It was a sad yet happy event, knowing Lina went where she wanted to go
Printed on her tombstone was the following phrase:
"I have not ended but have begun to finally live my days"
That phrase now has meaning after hearing this story
About how her days were filled with pain and agony
She longed for death to be with the one she loved
He missed her presence, it was never enough to just watch her from above
I knew that soon she would meet him again
And was relieved that her suffering would finally come to an end
When I saw the sun set that evening the sky glowed several shades of red
It must've been her smiling down because her pain came to an end
There was also a full moon that night – it glowed an intense shade of blue
Zelgadis had found her, I thought to myself. That must be his way of smiling, too.
The heavens always shone brightly after that day
And I knew that Lina and Zelgadis really did get their way
That true love really is forever
And even when they were apart they were together...
So this is the story of the chimera and sorceress
The everlasting love of Zelgadis Greywers and Lina Inverse.
