Summary: Gibari, who had been second after Xelha to join the group, muses on Kalas' return.
Disclaimer: I don't own Baten Kaitos, or the song Ito Chiisaki Negai (The Smallest Wish) from the anime Fushigi Yuugi.
Heh heh. I knew Kalas wasn't all evil. I knew he wasn't a villain. A true friend never gives up his friends for power and ambition. He trusts them with his life, and he never gives up their friendship. Not fully. Perhaps, the friend will leave but he'll always return. That is the way of the world. There are few circumstances in which he will not return. Those, obviously, did not apply to Kalas. They didn't apply to us. There wasn't any reason they should.
People are foolish, aren't they? People are fickle, aren't they?
They don't pray unless they're hurt
But…that Melodia. I'm wondering now. I had said I was sure she was completely evil. But is she? Is she not, just simply lonely? Did, perhaps, loneliness cause her to chase her ambitions to such a dangerous level? Is she like Kalas was, lost, alone, and afraid? Its hard to say. But…I'm starting to think there's more to that girl than what meets the eye, ya know? She seems…different, than from what she first seemed to be. Is it simply natural, or is it because she has come so far with her plans, that she's letting her guard down?
They forget, since some time ago,
That they're devoted to living, accepting God's grace
Though, its good to be back together. We're stronger this way, more able to help each other. Teamwork counts. Some things require independence, but for this journey to be successful, we need each other. We cannot simply go our separate ways yet, abandon each other, and still expect to win. Like Savyna once said, soldiers can't leave the front lines in the middle of a battle. Its true.
One cannot live for someone,
Pulling up the love that bloomed in the heart
Everyone has such thoughtful looks. Heh heh. I suppose everyone is glad Kalas is back. I wonder where he is though…Perhaps he's outside, thinking on his own. I'd imagine he's rather embarrassed about the whole ordeal…I know I would be. All of a sudden turning evil, and then coming back…that would make me feel tense and rather awkward. But, I'm sure everything will be back to normal very soon. Its not like any of us, least of all him, to let anything stand in our way.
People are small, aren't they? People are hollow, aren't they?
Return one day to the heavens
Melodia…she called us insignificant bugs. I would hardly say we're insignificant or that we're bugs. I suppose she was implying that we're worthless. We're not. Its as simple as that. But we are small. Even she is, compared to the world, to Malpercio, or any other god that there is. All people are small, but not insignificant. We can still make a difference, but whether for better or worse is up to us. Since we have the ability to change things, we are not insignificant.
In the garden of the heavens, everyone smiles,
Loving the people they were separated from
I remember that when were in Mira (where was it exactly? Parnasse, perhaps?) we heard that Melodia lost her parents to a terrible illness and she was the sole survivor of it, and thus brought up by her grandfather, Duke Calbren, as the heiress to the duchy of Mira. Was she so consumed with grief, that she turned her back on the world, vowing revenge for taking her parents from her? Is that why she is so twisted? In a way…that reminds me of Kalas himself. Two people, full of grief, so alike in that way when they vow to get their revenge, yet they stand on opposite sides of the battle.
If I could have one small wish come true,
It would be for the stars to illuminate your darkness
Well…its come. In the morning, we will leave this place. We'll finish what we started. Soon, at any rate. Saving the world doesn't just happen over night. Rescuing Kalas, and each other, didn't happen over night. It takes patience and perseverance. We'll get there in the end, surely. With a wish for the future, for each other, and for ourselves, we'll achieve what we set out to do in the beginning. I am sure it'll turn out all right.
People are small, aren't they? People are hollow, aren't they?
Return one day to the heavens
Return, return
Alright. Another done. I honestly don't like writing about Gibari. I really do tend to run out of things to say x.x Ah well. He's done. Next is…Savyna, right? I think so. But she won't be for another week I would think. I'll be doing more updating (hopefully) this weekend on a whole lot of other stuff. I have to delete some stuff, and finish the new, revised version of one of my stories. So I should be busy x)
Reviewer Responses
Wolf from the Hidden Flames: LoL I always thought that too. Really? For me, it depends on the game/anime/manga that someone wants to spoil. Usually, I don't like them, but I tend to accidentally spoil them for myself anyway xP I did that with Furuba and .hack/SIGN x.x And I didn't mean to either. THEN I went and accidentally spoiled the Furuba one to my friend xP She was mad at me for that heh heh…But anyway…for Baten Kaitos, I wouldn't mind them too much. Or Tales…but then I kinda spoiled that for myself too x.x -sigh- I do that a lot XD
