|Regrets and Wishes|
Looking up on the starry skies is a boy who had committed a crime of betrayal. Left with the memories of adventure and friendship, he questioned himself if all of these are really worth it. He wondered and wondered… is it true that the sea grants wishes to those who cries for its help? With these injuries and tiresome like straining him, he couldn't even grovel down and beg to the gods that lives within this tiny world.
'All our promises, our dreams and our wishes that we had always wanted to fulfill is no longer hearable. For the one who taught me how to voice and listen to my feelings is already nothing but gone. But if I wish in this ever changing sea and let it hear my silent plea… will it ever reach you?'
Drifting away on this ocean is a little boy's wish. A wish of forgiveness and ascension to the soul that had succumbed to a grave sin. A wish that somewhere in his days of living, he had gave him enough love for him to feel no regrets…
'The memories of your gentle smile, encouragement and respect. Those things helped me move forward on this wavering road of misfortune. We both knew what fate lies ahead but yet we chose to walk forward fearlessly. I may be great, I may be powerful but these things are meant for nothing if it couldn't even save a single life with no other casualties. I am a failure as your master… as your friend and as your guide. It's really sad… I couldn't even say an apology to you.' a single tear dripped from my tired eyes.
Drifting away on this wide mysterious ocean, is the regret of a man who was once great. Though he would want to apologize and kneel down for forgiveness but he cannot do such thing anymore.
Drifting away from this moon-eliminated body of water is the voice of the child who only want to be forgiven by a sin of betrayal to a loyal and innocent person. If in anyway way, his voice is to be heard, then there is only one wish he would like to tell.
"If I were to be reborn…"
The wind carried away his voice in a strong but warm gust. With this, he made a sad smile.
'I will live. I shall live to carry both our will and all the others. To know, to tell and to avenge everyone is now my mission. Someday in the right time and place, the world shall know who had suffered for the sake of its own.'
"Chaos? What are doing here? It's dangerous in here in a night like this. Come, let's get back to your room." as worried as ever, Benn took the young child who sluggishly walked to where his personal room provided by the allied pirate. Though he would like to ask, the feeling of the coldness of the wind seemed to tell him it's not a good time to ask.
The elder man looked up at the deep dark sky, where the stars seemed to not exist. He wondered what it did to get the little boy's attention but it was dreadful and sad.
