SAYAKA. AS TOWARDS THE SKY I OFFER IT
and when the other moves , she does as well . a blue marble swung in the skies , a MERMAID thrown in the deepest waters , quick , steady , she knows what to do : her sword swayed into the open air , just to split in half the familiar that had been thrown at her . a quick victory , soon nothing more but a mere thought , for another one had been given to her . this time , she struggles a bit more , her sword held against the other’s weapon , before she could eliminate her too .
“ it was a rough place , and a lonely one , but we joined our hands . “
in the meantime , sayaka could feel the girl’s presence STILL behind her . they were like a coin’s sides : ever so different , and yet , all the same . whilst one fights to a side , the second fights to the other ; backs pressed , a hand swinging right , the other’s left . THEY WERE ALMOST MEANT TO BE . she sees kyoko fight , and she does the same thing too , though the battlefield below them seemed to fade from her sight , the sounds , MELODIES clashing against the helpless FIGHTING in the field ( the swords clashing , the cries roaring ) slowly disappearing from her rage , EVERYTHING , now ,
focused on the girl .
she owed her an apology . thy most sincere one : ❝ call it a memory , a dream too , if you wish to call it that way , though it is a beautiful one , y’know — happy , everlasting . ❞
“ if it stays like this , if it stays like this the two of us will have to rush to the only furthest exit . even now i still have hope . now , let’s smile and gaze at each other . “
though swift , her movements seem to slow at one’s sight : she approaches kyoko , to rest , to stay . eyes meet the ground , her back finding the other’s , and she RESTS . she’s at peace . as she once was , when the tides lowered and the sun arose , its flames burning brightly into the skies , the same skies that’d welcome their hearts , once pure , beloved , entwined as one . ❝ i wasn’t supposed to have any regret , really , but — i couldn’t help myself from taking on this task myself . i guess i really did have some regrets , after all , didn’t i ? ❞
SOME REGRETS . one , JUST ONE .
❝ you . ❞
it’s one word that sounds heavily into the endless skies , the latter still COLORED , shattered , though quiet for the two of them , still embracing the bloody warmth it withheld . i’m sorry , kyoko . her hand automatically moves to reach the girl’s , fingers intertwined with her own , her palm against hers . she’s — warm , it’s a nice feeling , as if she were safe , unable to be hurt at all . UNABLE TO BE ALONE ANYMORE . and she feels at ease . her grip , though tight , is delicate , both holding onto the other , and still , reassuring her .
AND I’M HOME .
❝ the fact that i abandoned you . . . that was my one regret . ❞
A MERMAID drowns into the depth of blacken blues ; becoming lost in the ever growing darkness that swallows the enchanted being whole. Pangs of hurt ached the LANCER’S heart.
