A heavy rain fell over Altamira. It was the first rainfall in years, and for once, the beaches of the city were completely empty. Raindrops hit the streets and made a soothing, drumming sound.
Regal Bryant stood on the terrace, feeling the cold, silvery drops of water hit his face. He kneeled down and placed his hands on the grey, wet gravestone.
"I've finally found a way, Alicia" He whispered, letting his cuffed hands run over the cold surface. "I've finally found a way to bring you back."
He smiled weakly and turned his eyes towards the crying sky. The tears of heaven fell mercilessly down.
When he was a child, he always thought that rain had the power to heal any wound. After rain, there's always a sun rising.
But this cold rain couldn't heal his wounds.
"I'll bring you back, Alicia" He whispered again, his voice trembled as he spoke.
This is the only way, Alicia.
There's only one way to bring you back, only one chance. It means hurting alot of people.
I've had enough of death, violence and tears in my life. But I must do this, cause I cannot bear the thought of never seeing you again.
I've made an agreement with a being of the underworld, a creature who was banned from this world long ago.
He can bring the dead back to life, but he comes with a prize.
I must bring him the souls of the heroes. I must bring him the heads of the people I set out to save the world with four years ago.
I've hesitated for long, but I have no other option. I feel no hatred for them, no, I love them.
But my love for you, Alicia, is far too strong. I'd do anything to bring you back, and this is the only way.
It means taking the life of my friends, of loved ones that can't be replaced. But all good things come with a sacrifice.
This is a sacrifice I am willing to make for you, Alicia.
Zelos, Lloyd, Colette, Genis, Sheena, Raine... and Presea.
I must kill her, I must kill Presea. I...I love her, but I can't live without you, Alicia.
I just can't take it any longer. If it means killing all the people in the world, just to get you back...
I would do it, without remorse. I would do anything just to see the smile on your face again, just to see those bright eyes shine, if only once again.
I must go now, my love. Don't fear, Alicia. I will bring you back.
Tears fell down his cheeks, and Regal sank to his knees and screamed out his pain. And far up in the sky, heaven opened up andcried along with him.
I'm... I'm sorry.
