It had been months since entered this world. True, this world was beautiful and anything needed would be granted. She so loved spending time with the daughter she had lost because of Phantom. She had learned much about Diva, true, she looked more like her father, she had more of Saya's personality. Nonetheless, despite that, she hated it here. It was impossible to go back, the only reason she allowed herself to stay was because of Diva and Diva alone. She hated her lover more than ever, and yet, whenever they were asleep in bed she would sometimes hear him crying in his sleep. Pity would overtake her senses and hatred and she's hold him close until he was calm and submissive. She sometimes tried to look back into her past, but could find nothing to help her escape. Deep down though, she knew she didn't want to escape this life, this paradise. She had her daughter here, she was pregnant with her 'lover's' lovechildren, and she was able to be with the daughter she lost.

Had she not reminded herself of her loyal Chevalier in the other realm she would not have hated Karl. Hagi was the only man she ever loved who would never hurt her, not in the way Karl hurt her. The way he looked at her was stoic, but one could tell he care deeply for his beloved master. They made love and she was pregnant, she bore his lovechild until Karl took that away. He took everything away from. He took her purity, the blood spilt so delicately and he drank the stains from her trembling skin. He stole her away, making sure that she would be his own as was her purity. He betrayed her, lying to her when she didn't know any better but to believe him. He killed their daughter, cursing her to bear hatred for her father until he beckoned her and promised her paradise. He tried to kill her beloved ones, assuring that he was all she had left.

Yet, out of all that she remembered when he was kind to her. When he held her close each night until she slept soundly. He would kiss her with passion and he would solace her with compassion. He would take her hand when the nightmares trapped her and led her to the light. He tried to create a future for her, a future with Diva, children, and their love. And when his plan was torn at the seams he wallowed in the ruins of his love and fell in love with madness and sorrow. He was not willing to let his only chance of solace escape him, no, he would never let his Saya escape. He cared for her, she knew that, but he didn't care if her heart was aching because of her lost beloved. No, he only cared about their love, about preserving what's left of it, even if there wasn't any of it left. Now, she was tied to him, like a puppet was to a string.


Saya had only delivered her babies a few days ago. Their names were Kira and Akira. Unlike Diva, however, they resembled their mother more than their father. One night while Saya was playing with them she felt utterly weak and had to lie down. When she woke up her babies were gone and she had been changed into her nightgown. Carl noticed her symptoms...They were the symptoms of her long sleep. Surely, a much greater amount of time passed in the human world where Saya's true body did lay. If he calculated it correctly than Saya's long sleep was approaching. It was something he had feared. During a Queen's sleep their mind was vulnerable. Saya's mind was in this world, but her brain in the other, and her sleeping body needed her mind to be at ease. This assured a calm hibernation. The forbidden knowledge of this world worried his mind, this world where he was in control yet their were forces beyond him.

One lovely afternoon, he and Diva were sitting on the bed next to Saya, who was asleep and cuddled up next to her newborn babies.

"What do you mean mother will die if we keep her here?" Diva asked. She set her hands on the back of the chair and leaned forward, putting her weight on the chair. Her father looked over at Saya, who lie sleeping in their bed, their babies curled up besides her. Their babies were beautiful, yet, Saya would never see them again.

"It is true," he said.

"But, I've slept while I was here and in my own world," Diva wept.

"Your phsycial body and brain were destoryed, your mind is your true body now. But Saya's isn't. The knowledge this world gave me, it tells me if I don't let her mind be at ease while she sleeps. Time here passes more quickly, he will be only a year to us, but, she won't be able to come back. Hagi would be too reluctant to let her have her memories back, he'd do it on his own accord to keep her safe. However, if there is one thing I love the more than having Saya with me is having Saya alive and well," he leaned forward and kissed his lover's forehead.

Saya stirred for a moment before she opened her eyes to his face. Hatred filled her for a moment, before she saw the sorrowful expression on his depraved face.

"You're going home, love," and then it was all blank as she opened her eyes to old world.
