Disclaimer: I do not own this anime -- oh well.

A musing on the mind of Hino Rei and her feelings toward Chiba Mamoru/Endymion...

A love that died before it began.
A maiden bound in duty over her heart.
A regret of over a thousand years.
A loss so consuming it burns all near it.

Fire Priestess, why do you stare up at the moon so?
Do you wonder what may have been different, had the chance been offered?
Had the Prince not met his Princess...had the Dark One not killed you all...had there been no destiny...
Would you have taken him for your own, for your own begging heart?

Devout prayers whispered to the all-knowing flames...
Wishes made on a fallen, dead star at night.
It is pointless to try and rewrite the inevitable...
History cannot be changed nor can the course of destiny.

You are lost.
You are alone.
You keep a lonely vigil, Fire Maiden.
Fare thee well.
