Regrets and Memories
So dark in here...
I'd never guess the stench of the dead would be this bad.
The sinners and the cursed, both lurking around under the shadow's darkness.
So filthy. So sickening. So corrupted.
Just like me.
Heh... So this is the end of me, doomed to eternally be tormented in Netherworld.
It's only a matter of time before I turn into one of those Geists.
I wonder where everything started to went wrong.
I remember how I abandoned mother, saying right on her face that I hated her, how I always ran and hide from my grandfather, and let Velvet be the target of his wrath.
That's right. Maybe I've already gone wrong from the beginning.
Even the one time I tried to do something right only led to the destruction of my own kingdom. And the man I once thought as a father had even betrayed me.
The Cauldron... The power of Darkova... Everything...
Everything that I've done had only brought destruction to those I tried to protect, and grief to the ones I loved.
I guess my life had always been cursed.
I'm sorry, Velvet. I'm sorry for not being able to be a better brother.
All I've ever done was disappointing and hurting you even more.
I hope wherever you are now, you'll have a much better life than I do, and find happiness.
Happiness...
I wonder if I would find one, had I chosen a different path.
Would everything be different had I chosen to stay with you that time?
No use thinking about such hope now.
It's so ironic. To think that the happiest moment of my life would be the time I spent as a cursed frog.
You became a great queen, even without me around.
Heh... What am I thinking?
I don't even deserve to be by your side. This filthy, corrupted soul had no place to be with such pure and radiant being from the first place.
To think that I even promised that we'll meet again.
Even if I waited thousands of years, I'm sure you'll never end up in a place like this, a place filled with the sinners and the cursed.
But even so... Even if this is just my selfish wish...
Even in this despicable death, I want to meet you again.
Mercedes.

A.N: Not sure how I'm doing with this one. I have the vaguest picture of Netherworld. What happened to it after Odette and Gallon were gone? Anyway, a review will always be nice. Welcoming criticisms as always. Thanks for keep reading! Not yet complete.
