Hitomi no Hikari
(Eyes of Light)
Shugo…I'll be waiting for you
It's always at the beginning of dreams that are forgotten. Well, most of the time.
My eyes, no longer an amethyst pastel but bright azure blue, open and contemplate my dreams. Mama. She really was a saint. Plus, I never would think of Morganna as a sister back then. But now, it's over. Morganna is no longer a threat. She finally realized that she can exist without chasing me around. I sigh and smile. I can still feel some restlessness between her and me. Though, I don't mind it at all. Sometimes I go to her for advice.
Four years…has it been that long since then? My right hand moves unconsciously to my heart. The day when Morganna did her worst on me? I can still feel the pain of having my cybernetic body, down to my core, being ripped apart and scattered. But Kite, the boy I chose to give the book to unselfishly look for me and cleaned up the angry mess my sister made. I smile. Kite…I swear he's just what I thought King Arthur would look like when Shu…
Shu-go…
I can't believe…Why...I forgot about him, didn't I? I can feel my eyes start to water. My left hand lifts from my lying side and tries to wipe my rolling tears away. Well, partially it's HIS fault. It's been too long. I've been waiting so long here, in my lake, for him to come back. To be his Lady of the Lake. I have his 'Excalibur' waiting for him. Though, the twilight bracelet isn't exactly what I would call a sword. But if I could, I would turn it to the most spectacular sword for him. I could, I won't do it because it's the way my mother made it. Mamma.
My right hand touches my silver brooch. My last present from my mother and father, yes father, but mostly my mother because it materialized right before she…died… I swallow, trying not to cry again. I wonder why she picked this shape. What is its meaning?
Infinity Eternity
My mind tries to wonder off the subject of my brooch. I materialize the Twilight Bracelet above me so I could see the intricate designs upon it. Mother, you were so kind, so beautiful. I wonder if a small fraction of you is still floating about. I wish you were still here. Being the core of The World is very eventful, I say. The World has changed also, for the better. I hope it doesn't end. Eternity. Yes, I guess you meant the brooch to represent the age of this game…or maybe something more. Although, one reason I wish you were here was…well, I'm lonely. I hope Shugo comes back soon…suddenly, an idea pops in my cybernetic 'mind'.
I know! I know now how to become un-lonely! I'll be a mother like my own mother!
But, I would have to have a companion to combine copy-blueprints for the structure of the new 'player'. Guah! Shugo? I angrily turn around on my belly and hit my lake that I am floating above. Why don't you come back? Have-have you forgotten me…? I quiet my anger and sadly moved my long pale finger across the water.
With him not being here doesn't mean he will NEVER come back. Well, I could try to make 'incomplete' daughters, right?
"What do you mean 'In complete', dear Aura."
Morganna. I roll back to sit upright so I could look at my sister.
"Good day, dear Morganna." This 'sisterly' talk is upsetting. Oh, if only I was a Human, I could truly feel sick to my stomach.
"We are in a way, I mean 'human', of course." She sits, floating above the water beside my figure. We look the total opposite. I, in my glowing white-opal dress and she in her India-black sleeveless dress look like just as my, our, mother depicted us, light and shadow. My sapphire eyes turn to meet her blood-red orbs. I am partially confused at her mentioning that we are 'humans'.
She slightly tweaks a smile. It's forced, I can tell, probably trying to comfort me. "No need to be confused. I know of our current state, but you would probably go on a rampage like what I did when I figured out."
"What? Current state?" I try to see in her mind what kind of state we could be…but she is too fast! Curse all elder sisters…except Rena, I think.
Morganna laughs, this time not with force. "Silly girl," She stands and ruffles my hair. Is she leaving? "I'll show you in due time." The elder woman walks away in front of me. No! Don't go! I frantically try to go to her, but I do not want to seem so dependant. So I unwillingly stayed put.
"You know, I could help you with trying to make your so called 'daughters'. I seem to have a couple of fragments left in handy." She smiles at me. I think…I'm starting to like you, Morganna. I stand suddenly willingly and I run to her dark semi-smiling figure.
As I stood beside her once more, she turns to me yet again, we are still walking together. I note that she is a head taller then I. "Aura, don't mind about that Heir-to-the-Twilight-Bracelet boy. I have a feeling he might come sooner then you think."
I see a sleeping figure lying upon stakes of emails. Ah, Bulmung, you don't cease to amaze me. After checking the CC Co. room for life signs, I put my e-mail idea on top of the others about the cos-contest. A smile appears on me as I notice the sleeping administrator drooling here in The World. I can rely on him to not tell this came from me. This man has always been a brother ever since he saw me. I am blessed to have these people around myself here in the world. Yes, I think everyone here is blessed in The World. I better teach my complete-daughter that when she is born. I think about the contest in the e-mail I sent him. I saw Rena in the World a couple of times. My high hopes are telling me that she'll stay for a bit more. I've been reading her e-mails and noticed that she is a big fan of my first Heir. That's where I got my idea. But when I read about Shugo…I wasn't really happy about what was going on. Grades falling, no goals. He seemed to have changed, lost his light. I do hope this contest will bring him back.
He can be a hero here right? To follow in the foot-steps of the Dot Hackers, my Knights of the Round Table.
Soon, just as Morganna said, you will come. I'll just have to hope, have faith.
Hoping EnD
Yhay! I'll have the next chappie soon. I'm going to be at my mom's, so be patient! This chapter may look short lengthwise, bit it took me a while to type 0.o
Thank you Alouete, Steeple333, Twilight Memories, Vash, and Helbaworshipper(twice rev'ed! Thankies!) for being my patrons in reviewing! Whee! Five reviews! I'm even happier. (Two thumbs up with those squiggly things on them)
When I was looking for Morganna's name, I thought it would be Scottish too, but it said Old English/Welsh. I would have loved to put Gaelic if I could T.T
When I was reading my handy .hackLotT books, I realized that Aura's other 'fragments' weren't as 'complete' as Z()e()p()p()h()i()e was, Whoops! I think I said a spoiler! Evil laugh.
Reviews keep me motivated! Waste a few again (or not Y.Y) to do it.
Logging off and will hopefully soon log on again.
