The poem mentioned here is actually a part of an another Puella Magi fanfic of mine: What Will You Do? I'd be happy if you read it whole.


Entry 28: What will you do?

"You should eat something." said Yukio. I stared at my plate with the sandwitch he made and pushed it away.

"I can't." I said.

"Kaen, everyone will die someday, even you. Face it!" said Yukio. "There's nothing you can do."

"I still feel bad." I said.

"Really..." Yukio shook his head. "You can't let yourself being pulled down. It's simply strange to see you so."

"I didn't know you care so much about me." I said. His cheeks turned red.

"Okay, maybe I like you a bit, but still, don't think I love you or something. I've lost the ability to love." said Yukio.

"Strangely, that's what bothered Miku. She gave up her life because she thought she lost herslef." I said. Yukio looked at me, confused.

"You want to say I lost myself?" he asked.

"I don't know." I replied. "I actually wonder if have I lost myself."

Yukio didn't answer. I then showed him a piece of paper.

"I wrote this last night." I said. Yukio took it and started to read it. It was a poem I wrote about my experience and life as a Puella Magi.

Life going, night fading

I'm askin' you

What will you do?

Soul killing, Darkness rising

I'm askin' you

What will you do?

The life is just a thread

Which can break, be torn apart

The life is just a thread

Make it break, torn it apart

The darkness rises,

The moon glazes

At the Puella Magi's Soul

Greif engulfing

Heart breaking

I'm asking you

What will you do?

Time is stopping

Puellas are dancing

The dance of life and death

Surviving, purifiyng, magic casting

Till the heart becomes black

Witches are laughing

Dancing the mad dance

The Grief Seeds are shining

Once being Soul Gems

Will mine Soul Gem become like that?

Blood is flowing

Bodies are crumbling

I'm askin' you

What will you do?

Battles are coming

Souls are decaying

I'm askin' you

What will you do?

The life is just a thread

Not being worth living for

The life is just a thread

But I know it's worth to live

The life is just a thread

It can tear, I know

But I know I'd rather die

Then become a witch myself

Contract making, Soul darkening

Life sacrisfing, Witch becoming

Kyuubey's smiling: I'm askin' you

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Yukio looked at it, speachless.

A big shadow engulfed me. I was the prey and the shadow was the hunter. And now, it got me.

"No!" I yelled. I woke up, realizing I was in my room. Yukio darted in, with a worried expression on his face.

"What happened?" he asked.

"A nighmare." I replied and looked at my SG. It shined. "A Witch is nearby."

"You really think you should go?" Yukio asked. I nodded.

"Those Grief Seeds are essential for me. Without them, I won't survive." I said.

After getting dressed up, I and Yukio went out of the building to search for the Witch. We soon found the Barrier. The portal emblem was a heraldic banner.

Upon entering it, I saw that the walls and floors of her barrier were largely unadorned and lined with dark red bricks.

There were some Familiars walking around. One had a dragon's head while the others looked like Warriors. One of them had a banner on which was written the information about them.

'The wudan witch's minions, whose task is to march. They continually walk through the fog in an orderly fashion. The witch typically doesn't have any reason to approach these familiars.'

I and Yukio avoided the Familiars and searched for the Witch, hiding in the fogs and behind the roads.

Finnaly, we found her. She looked like a knight with a flame instead of a head. The horse she rode wore a large red diamond-shaped symbol. She was followed by colorfully attired warriors, most of whom marched around aimlessly.

"Summon Analyzer." I whispered.

'Ophelia. The witch of wudan. Her nature is abandonment. A witch who eternally wanders with hollow footsteps within the fog. She can no longer remember what the horse that always accompanies her was.'

"That's sad." I muttered.

"Yeah. So let's beat her and go home." said Yukio. I nodded and we seperated, deciding to assualt the Witch from two sides. I noticed that Yukio drew out his sword. He was supposed to attack her from behind, while I took the front.

I walked out in front of the Witch, facing her.

"Yami no Kizu!" I attacked the Witch. However, she attacked back by transforming into a lance so I had to jump backwards to escape the attack. The Familiar shoot at me with fireballs. I dodged them and noticed that Yukio cut them apart.

"I'll handle the Familiars!" he shouted.

I looked at the Witch, who generated seperated bodies. I enlarged my katana pointed it at the bodies.

"Hikari no Kizu!" I slashed and strong, multiple sickles cut through the bodies. They dissapeared and only one Witch was left.

I rushed over to the Witch.

"Yami no Kizu!" I stroke her, diving Ophelia in half. The horse then threw her back, as she died. She started to burn and then vanished.

I sighed as I picked up her Grief Seed. The emblem looked like an eye. I looked for a while at it and then cleared my Soul Gem. Yukio apporached me as I threw the used Grief Seed away.

Just then, a shadow emerged from a narrow street, picking the Grief Seed up.
