Hotaru thought about how the princess could always see how she felt and what she was thinking. She could never figure out how the princess did it. She had always been thankful for the gift though. Her princess had been able to see the darkness in her power. Now that the princess was gone she could slowly feel a numbness consuming her soul as it left to find its light. Her power would sleep until the princess's light came to reawaken it.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you do into my core
Where I've become so numb without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it and lead it back home
She could feel the despair of the others, their souls crying out for her return. She knew that they would not admit that they needed her. She slowly walked up the steps to the shrine in the temple. Finding the shrine of Selene, she knelt down and folded her hands. She sent up a prayer to the goddess.
"Selene, I pray to you. Let her come back. We need her. I need her. My power is slowly dying. I will no be able to survive with out her. She is the light to my dark. Please return the princess to us, or a least let me go to the princess. With out her, Selene, I am nothing. Please hear my plea. Do as you will."
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
She knew what she needed to survive. She needed her princess. Haruka was right. Neither of them could survive without the princess. How she wished she could be with the princess. She felt that the princess's soul was not on a plane of existence that she knew of. She knew that the princess's life was connected to hers. She wished that the princess was alive.
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
"Hotaru"
She turned around and looked around her. She could of sworn that she had heard her name.
"Hotaru"
"Who is there?"
"I heard your prayer. Are you sure that you want to go to her? She has changed. She no longer is the princess that you knew."
"Yes, I am sure."
"You have an hour to prepare."
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
She knew that she had to take this opportunity. She could feel her happiness slowly increasing. She would be able to be with her princess. She would be able to live once more.
Frozen inside without your touch without your love
Darling only you are the life among the dead
Hotaru found herself in a place of shadows. Here she could feel her princess. Her princess was alive! She looked around herself trying to see if she could see her princess. She felt as if she had not been living in a long time. She knew that she would have to find a way out of here on her own. She started to follow her princess's power to her.
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark as you were standing front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought without a voice without a soul
Don't let me die here there must be something more
Bring me to life
