Regret Message

"It's fun!"

"It's pointless!"

Allen glared me and huffed "Please Rylee, for me? Just write your one wish down on the parchment, put it in the bottle and place it in the ocean. Then your hearts desire will come true!"

"What did you write?" I questioned

"I wished for you to have bigger breasts." Allen laughed

I felt my face turn read "Wh-What?!"

"I'm only joking!" Allen quickly defended himself "You're perfect just the way you are! Now write down your wish!"

"There's nothing more I need." I shrug "You bring me everything I could ever want, why would I ever need some strange bottle wish to bring me something."

Allen smiled.

I smiled back.

In a little port on the outskirts of the world
A young girl stands alone.
By the lake, there existed
An old tradition from long long ago

He was dead.

Allen was dead.

And it was all my fault.

"Write your wish on a piece of parchment
And place it in a little bottle.
If you let it flow with the sea, someday
Your wish will come true"

I remember this game he taught me so very long ago.

He said that if I wrote my wish down in a glass bottle my wish would come true...

Flow along, little glass bottle.
With a message containing a wish
On the other side of the horizon
There, it quietly disappears.

I placed my wish in the lake and watched it float away.

I wondered if it would find it's target.

You always did everything for my sake
All that I wanted, and yet...
I was always so selfish
And troublesome to you.

Even if it ... how would Allen ever forgive me?

I had seen the way he cried after he had to kill that girl Kyle was in love with.

I think he was in love with her too.

You, who would grant me every single wish
Are no longer here with me
Will my thoughts, on this sea
Arrive at their destination?

But I needed him back.

My brother had always protected me, always been there for me. Even during the years we were separated.

Flow along, little wish
Tears and regret
When I realized my sins
It was always after everything was already over

Maybe if I had been a better ruler my brother would still be alive at my side.

Yes...if I had been better...I would still have my brother...

Flow along, little glass bottle
With a message containing a wish
On the other side of the horizon
There, it quietly disappears

He would have made a far better ruler than I ever did.

The King and Queen should have taken him in as their child, not me. I could picture it now. Allen being the prince instead of myself being the princess...He would have ruled fairly and done everything I should have done in my time as the ruler. I couldn't change that now though...

Flow along, little wish
Tears and regret
"If we were to be reborn..."

I wish I could do it over.

I know I could wish for so many things right now.

My throne.

My horse.

My power.

My money.

Anything really.

But all I wish for is my brother back.

If I had Allen back I wouldn't care about being a peasant. I wouldn't care if I didn't have a single piece of gold. I would be happy so long as he was with me.

I'm always happier when I'm with him.

My wish is that my brother will return to me and that my sins will be forgiven. I know how difficult it would be ... but I want to be forgiven. Especially by him.
