Summery: Gibari's thoughts after Kalas' betrayal.
Disclaimer: If I owned Baten Kaitos, I would not be writing this. I would currently be working on the sequel. And if I owned the song Edge from hack Liminality, I would be rich. Since I own neither, I'm broke x.x
Stupid Kalas. Never would'a thought that of him. He surprised me. Honestly, he did. He never really struck me as the type to betray anyone, much less us. I mean, I know he distrusted Lyude and Savyna, but I still never thought he'd be the one unworthy of trust. I suppose his plan must have been to make Lyude and Savyna look like the bad guys since they were from the Empire in order to cover up the fact that he was the villain in our group. He played that out well. Got to hand that to him.
You are always going like this, and even if you pile on the lies
You can never again return by this road
What kind of dream were you drawing and fell into
That time when you lost your footing on the other side of the boarder?
Still, he ain't evil. Can't be. It isn't in his personality to be evil. He's just like everyone else. Completely capable of making mistakes. He's not perfect, and because of his grief he's making a stupid mistake. But he's not evil. Now, that Melodia, on the other hand, I'm ninety-nine point nine percent sure is completely evil. It seems to simply be a part of her. Its actually kinda sad that such a pretty girl like her could turn out to be so twisted. That was nearly as unexpected as Kalas' betrayal was. The world is just full of surprises, isn't it?
The future visible in tomorrow isn't even close to satisfactory, but
Perhaps we're living clinging to such things
Surely the truth is that you and I are searching for the same thing
Feeling the same thing - the one truth - in different places
That alone is what we want to know
So we are here holding on to nothing
Prowling in dreams and reality, we're too close to the edge
I wonder where the other's are…I guess we were all taken to separate locations and imprisoned. Course, that makes sense. All together, we could'a broken out no problem. But hey, I still can. I just…don't feel like mustering up the strength to do so. But still, I wonder how they're all holding up. Especially Xelha. I'm not positive, but I think she's more than half in love with Kalas. Though, that is really kinda obvious. She was really desperate though, and the look on her face when Kalas revealed his true intentions and then what he said as he bathed in Malpercio's light…that look she wore just showed he'd just torn her heart into two pieces…
You are always going like this, and even if you pile on the lies
You can't return to the road you lost your footing on
No matter where you are now, no matter what you're gazing at
Two people love each other in that way with their hearts still separate
Once we get Kalas back on our side (and I'm sure that we will), I'm gonna really have to lecture him about hurting her. Guys are not supposed to break girl's hearts like that. I'll have to teach Kalas that lesson. Then, perhaps, in the future, he'll think about what he's going to do or say before it hurts a girl. But, of course, Xelha's strong in her own right. She'll be able to hold up just fine, I'm sure. It was easy to read her feelings. Its much harder to know Kalas. One can never really know what he's thinking or planning. He's pretty good at hiding his intentions…obviously. If he wasn't, we would be locked up right now.
Tomorrow, believing in whatever kind of future is visible
We'll be walking in order to once again discover the serenity of the twilight
Walking in this place
Its getting pretty lonely here. I wish there was someone to talk to. Cold too. And my limbs are getting pretty tired. Damn Kalas. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here at all. Its irritating. I'd rather be out in the world, fighting the evil. And of course, I'd bust everyone out of their prisons. And together, we'd go after Kalas. But, right now, my strength is gone. I can't break out just yet…not yet. Ah well…no point in wasting the little energy that I do have on complaints. Better to be optimistic. Life goes better when a person's optimistic.
The future visible in tomorrow isn't even close to satisfactory, but
We only want the foolish strength that believes in that kind of thing
Surely we want to live with a groundless passion
Greater than regret, consolation, and the like, feeling only that much
And walking, singing while standing in this place
We are here holding on to nothing
Where will we go tomorrow? We're too close to the edge
Only fools give up hope. But they learn after that mistake, and then hurry to correct it. I'm sure that's how it'll be with Kalas when we rescue him. He'll realize how stupid he was, and then he'll do all he can to correct his mistake. Its how the world works. No one wants to be a fool, no one wants to make a mistake. Kalas is no different. In life, people fall down. That's what's happened to him. So its up to the rest of us to rescue him, and therefore help him regain his balance. It is simply the way of the world, and the bonds of friendship we've formed with him. Even though he hurt us, I am still willing to be his friend. I'm sure the same goes for the other's too. He's important to us. Because, before he was taken by the darkness, he really was a true friend.
You are always going like this, even if you pile on the lies
Until you make sure of the point on the road you lost your footing
What is being born in this light just starting to appear?
Two people who love each other in that way with their dreams still separate
This wasn't actually the song I was going to use, but I couldn't find the other one, so I used this. I think worked pretty well actually. Near the end there, though, I started running out of things to say. So I hope it worked out pretty well anyway XP But I do know what to do for Savyna. I have the perfect the song for her. And it's a favourite of mine, so I can't forget it XD
After Savyna, I think I might do Kalas. I'm not positive yet though. Meh…if the mood strikes me, perhaps I'll do Corellia or Ladekhan or someone…not sure yet XD
Reviewer Responses
Fan Fan Girl: XD Yeah, that's good. Colette is awesome, despite her klutziness XDD I love that title 'Klutz' for her. Yay! That's awesome. I really like Lyude, so I was really trying to make his really good. XD Yes, I will try to do Geldoblame as the final chapter. LoL it should be amusing how it turns out.
Luv2Game:XD Yeah, it is long. Yeah, I'm beating it for the fourth time. Except, since I've played it through so much already, I'm being lazy and haven't finished off Kilia yet XP She annoys me XD Personally, I don't like Gibari much. My favourites are Xelha, Kalas, and Lyude, followed by Mizuti and Savyna. I really don't care for his fighting style…otherwise he's pretty cool though. Hmm, you're right XD Either way, its kinda cute, now that I think about it.
Folon rules:That's good then. XP That fluff slipped in quite accidentally. Yes! The game is so much fun. I'm on my fourth time beating it, but I'm lazy so I haven't killed Kilia yet. Mithos is one of my favourite characters. I like most of them actually XP
Karina Gomez: Aww! Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, he's my favourite character, next to Xelha and Kalas, so I wanted to make his super good. I'm sure you can :) It just takes practice. Yes, I can't wait to do Savyna. I have the perfect song for her too!
