Rating: K
Character: Seifer
Summary: He wants to die a valiant death.
Notes: For the theme 'old' at the Fated Children LiveJournal community.


He doesn't want to die young, because that doesn't sound right to him. A Knight should die in battle, sword in hand and enemies all around him, fighting the good fight. A Knight should die at the hand of his greatest enemy, struck down in a blast of glory and fire, going out with a bang.

It's what he's always envisioned his own death to be like. He's envisioned his death to be glorious and noble, valiant and brave. It doesn't scare him, because he's raised to know that death is a part of life.

He's reckless because he doesn't want to die from something like illness or old age. He learned to take risks now because he doesn't want to live to be too old to take them, because a Knight shouldn't die in some house where no one other than his family, if he has any (and he doesn't think he ever would), will remember him. A Knight should die in battle, young and beautiful, in the face of danger, and that's exactly what he plans on doing.
