We had been captured. For now, we're alive. But not for very long. They plan to sacrifice us. We had been grouped together in two different cells. She wasn't doing well. "Sara." I was trying to talk to her, but nothing was getting through to her. She was slowly going back to how she was when she first joins up. "This is my fault. This is my fault. I am a failure as a Master..."
"Sion is this...?"
"I'm afraid so...she is going back to her true self." With Nemo's Spirit Core damage, it was hitting her hard. She wasn't given enough time to heal it before they were pulled apart. It was hitting her hard. So hard that the persona she made to hide behind and disappeared. This is how she really is. A girl who is so fearful of the world of magic.
A girl who was great a magic. A girl who had everything taken from her because of magic. She lost everything because of Magic. This fearful self is her true self.
Seeing Nemo's Spirit Core damage was the breaking point. But now...everything that had happened pushed her over. "No. No I don't want this. I don't want Magic." It wasn't surprising. Most Mages saw only the horrible side to Magic. So many non-mages feared Mages too. To put it plainly Mages are outcasts for having magic. They are left alone.
They are Abandoned.
"Sion the rumors about...?"
"Yes, they are true." This girl had given in. She had given in despair. It had gotten so bad for her...she even tried to take her life many times. That was when we found her.
The Mask I had given her had finally wear off. I had made it for her with a potion. But now it wouldn't work again. I don't see...anyway to help her again. She sobbed against her knees. "Sion isn't there anything you can do?"
"I was the one who made the mask for her to start with. I don't know any other way to help her..." She couldn't move on. She was trapped in despair. It had been too much for her that she even gave up. That's why she tried to end her life many times. It was sad but it wasn't unheard of for mages. Some of them would end their lives to get away from all the pain. But...for some reason. She didn't die. She lived each time. I even heard she tried taking poison one time too. But it didn't work. Her body wouldn't give up on her for some reason. But she took a lot of damage from what she did. She lied and said all the damage to her body was from her magic training. But that was a lie. She wouldn't tell the truth. Not Even to her own Servant. Did she regret her actions? Is that why she lied? No. Not at all. She lied...because she was upset, she lived through it.
"I just...I just want to be a normal girl." She cried. "Sion."
"No. I can't do anything for her anymore." I didn't know of any other way to help her. In truth having a servant did help a bit. It helped her not think about it. It was working. I thought maybe...she could heal that way. But...everything broke apart here. But I also never guessed her own servant would fall for her. I'm sure she lied to him. When he told her. She most likely said she loved him too. But she doesn't understand the first thing about that feeling. Because...she never had that before.
The cell door slammed open, "It's time to the block for you three." They planned to kill all three of us in front of the people here. They tied us down on big stone blocks.
Even after being in this spot she hasn't changed at all. She was sobbing to herself. Her despair it just too much. I doubt she even understand what is happening around her.
Nemo. Nemo...! I'm sorry I was a horrible Master. Please forgive me...I should have never agreed to this to start with. I should have just said No. Because of me...your spirit core was damage. It's all my fault. Nemo...!
