Another dream~Another destiny.
"Can you not hear it? Mr luvensen. The darkness is welcoming you..."
"But all I hear...is silence."
"Yes...silence. The voice of the darkness."
It was just like any stormy night, except that tonight...two very similar young teenagers stood on the grey and red concourse of their school. The night lights shining brightly on the both of them as the rain drops soon began their decsend.
"Do you believe in magic? Mr luvensen." the one in black asked as with a flick of his finger. The raindrops around them stopped failling and hovered in mid-air. Slowly moving his hand along the drops of icy water as he walked towards the other teenager, he asked another question.
"And if you do...does that not mean that you believe in fate, and destiny as well?"
Suddenly dissappearing into a fade of dark mist, the one in black reappeared again behind his naive acquaintance. Grabbing his throat with one of his hands, and revealing the hidden finger blades with his other. He warned the helpless teenager not to make any sudden moves.
Without fear or doubts, the one in white asked, "What is it that you want?"
Giving a slight smile to his helpless prey, he replied in a sinister manner. "I want you...to join me. Your heart...it brims with so much sorrow. It is perfect for the darkness...and yet you undenyingly represent the oh so innocent light."
"And if i decline?"
"Then there's nothing left between us." the dark one replied as he raised his other hand that was holding on to the finger blades. However, the one in white quickly reacted and gave an ellbow to the stomach of his wanter. After that he gave another kick to his face but was easily blocked.
The rain soon continued to fall as their battle raged on. Memories and thoughts flooded their minds as they delivered blows after blows to each other.
"I...I think I like you."
"Oh...okay."
"The first time I saw you...you reminded me of someone I once really liked. And now that you've let down your hair...you look even more like her...I...I don't know wheather to feel sorrow or comfort whenever I look at you. But one thing's for sure...you give me the greatest comfort whenever you smile."
"There is darkness in every heart. No matter how pure."
"Sooner or later...you will join me by choice. Your heart cannot deny it's affinty to the darkness.... besides, the light...has nothing to offer you."

14th time I've tried, for a dream...about you...
Dawn was fast approaching, but a heavy rain had begun...with rain drops as salty as the tears of a heart-brokened one. The angels continued their wait, un-affected by the heavy rain. It was though the rain was there to signify the coming bloodshed, as the final battles...were just around the corner.
A young teenage heretic seem to have found his way to somewhere very familiar to him, even if he doesn't remember. Slowly, he began to awoken from the sound of the falling rain. As his eyes opened and slowly adjusted his vision, he realize that he was in a room he didn't remember going to. He looked around and found a middle-aged woman sleeping on a table besides him. Feeling extremely puzzled, he got up and went up to the lady to get a closer look. The lady for some reason reminded him of the grave-stone he saw back in the cemetery... but as usual he couldn't remember why...
As he took one last look at the lady, he spotted her holding on to some kind of video tape in one of her hands. It was black in colour like most, but there was something special about it that caught Krion's eye. The video was entitled, "Message to Krion." by Rena. Immediately, there was a familiar ache in his heart. Knowing that this video must have something to do with his memories, he took the tape from her hands and looked around for a video player...but there was none in this room. Logicaly any video player would have been in the living room, and true enough there it was...dusty and old, luckily...still working.
When the video started playing, music filled the background like a music video...the first scene showed of him playing the guitar, and later following up on stage with a band.
Even if heaven was to fall,
I won't let go.
Not like this.
Never again do I want to be alone.
Trap in my sorrow.
A reason why...I'll clinge on...till my last breath.
Oh how I wish, I could cry tonight.
Till a point where there will never be,
anymore tears.
And that I'm, reminded...
I'll never be alone.
As long as I'm with you.
The second showed a beautful scene of a sunset along the sea side, Krion saw himself siting on a bench there. However, he wasn't alone...a beautiful young lady was there beside him...her head resting on his shoulder...as the two enjoyed this moment they had alone. Unknowing that someone else was there to shoot this video of them.
"Hien! What do ya think you're doing!" a female's voice screamed in the background.
"Shhh. Keep it down. I'm just recording their special moment..." another voice replied
"Hah...I think you're just doing that to piss Krion off."
"It's what brothers do...besides, who knows? Maybe someday this video shot might be useful."
Many other different scences continued on till finally, there was one which had Rena doing an actual conversation to the camera. It was in the very same living room he was now in, not only that...he was sleeping on the same sofa as well.
Rena took a sit beside him and whispered to his ear,
"I know your sleeping...and you proably can't hear me, but I guess this is the only time when I actually dare to tell you this..."
With a kiss on to his lips she finally said the two words, "Love you."
As the two words were said, it was like as if a giant fog had just been lifted from Krion's mind. His eyes though dry from crying yesterday, started to become wet again. Memories flooded back in the split second...and soon, everything was back.
"They're...they're all coming back to me...Rena...Hien...Father."
In a matter of moments, sensing that something wasn't right. Krion stood up and walked right out the door. On to the streets of the pouring rain. "I know your there...no point hiding anymore." he said as he drew his twin swords.
Then tilting his body towards the sky, as if trying to inject out something...he shouted, "So...show yourself!" Soon enough, something spirit like appeared from his body...forming into the angel which had sealed his memories for him.
"Why do you reject? Did you not want to forget?"
"Hah...now what do we have here? Where have you been these few days?"
Immediately reconizing the voice, Krion replied back without looking at his curious brother. "Away, I've been away. But now I'm back...and it feels great."
Seeing his once sad brother now finally at peace, he too found himself feeling happy for him...but it didn't last as he remembered why it was so important to find him. Quickly, he started to explain the situation to his brother, "It's good that your feeling great, but you do realize that there's still one more thing we have to do. And aparently our father's friend has kidnapped Reina to increase our urge to go to that lousy floating castle."
"You let her get kidnapped?" Krion asked annoyingly, as with the two's combination...they should have been just about invincible...
As Hien saw the curious and yet annoyance in his eyes he let out a giggle before replying, "Well...it's more like she wanted to go with him..."
"Haha...you got ditched huh? Anyway, there's somewhere I need to go first...a promise must be fuilled."
****
An hour past, Jen and his commrades were all just about to take off from the hanger when he heard someone shouting to him. "Hey Jen!" Turning back, he saw a familiar grin on Krion's face...it looked exactly like the one before they parted two years ago. "Catch." Krion suggested as he fired a bullet him. Caught by suprise, but as focus as he always was...he bend back just as he tried to catch the bullet.
Lucky enough, he had caught it, but it tore away some of the skin on his palm. Not only that, the bullet had almost hit his face if not for the fact that he had bent back a bit. "What are you? Crazy! You might have killed me with that!" Jen shouted out angrily at the foolishness of his friend. "It was a promise wasn't it?" Krion asked, feeling relieve that his old friend had actually caught it. "Yes...a foolish one to add!"
"Then again...you didn't think I would have let you die now? Did you?" Krion comforted as he fired a bullet at himself. However the bullet was stopped by an invinsible force surging around the heretic. In shock and amazement...Jen asked in a horrified manner, "What...what are you?"
"I am who I am. Neither human, nor god...not even a demon. I am...Krion- Lockheart, a heretic, a Godslayer."~

"Why do you reject? Did you not want to forget?"
"I admit. I did. But not anymore. In a way, I should thank you. You've showed me so many things...it's quite a pity really, your intentions were to get me to forget about this war...so that your kind could finish the judgement easier..." Krion replied sadly before stabbing the angel behind him.
"If only that wasn't true...perhaps i would've spared you."
Stunned and shocked, the angel pulled out the sword and took a few steps back. His plan was perfect...and even if Krion had regain his memories, there was no reason how he would have known his plan.
"But...but how? How did you knew?"
Upon hearing his question, Krion got annoyed and whispered to himself before finally replying to the angel.
"Great...now everyone's doing it..."
"Shouldn't it be obvious? By sealing my mind with yours...isn't it at least understandable that some of your thoughts would have been heard by me?"
And with that, Krion fired a glowing bullet that broke through the god's protection and ended the angel's questions. A smile then appeared on Krion's face as he stared up into the undying rain, knowing that she had onced love him was good enough...a good enough reason to fight for her. It was a moment of peace in his heart, and a realization of a profound strength. Unfortunately, his moment didn't last long as he heard a familiar voice shouting to him."Hah...now what do we have here? Where have you been these few days?"
Immediately reconizing the voice, Krion replied back without looking at his curious brother. "Away, I've been away. But now I'm back...and it feels great."

Shell~ Witch Hunter Robin
It's like I'll disappear as soon as I close my eyes
I feel like I've turned into someone that even I don't recognize
Sadly, I've become so small
I want to be rescued, but instead of sighing
I vomited up my loneliness, and just lay there, measuring it all up
Amidst this drop of time gone dry
My heart is drowning and writhing
These lies that make me dizzy
I took them and tore them up
And with that,
I became lost
In a world of thin darkness. [1]
For the sake of those whom I should trust
I chose to come here, a cage into which I've locked myself, and now there's no escape.
Deep inside my parched throat
Lies the reason for this growing impermanence [2]
Scared of the approaching tomorrow
I cower and collapse
But it seeks me out and whispers to me
This voice of thin darkness. [1]
Amidst this drop of time gone dry
My heart is drowning and writhing
These lies that make me dizzy
I took them and tore them up
And with that, I became lost
In a world of thin darkness.

Aaaahh horror arh sec 3
Exam so much to study for...die man. I can't seem to get a grip on myself to study...I always seem to be so tired...and I'm contributing some of my time to writing also...anyways, oh my freaking gosh! They finally showed a Jap episode of Saiyuki Reload! Yaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy! Is happy to hear Goku's "I'm hungry!" again. Oh my gosh, this had to be one of the most funny ep ever!!!! Sanzo's afraid of the cute little cat! He keeps sneezing because of it. Not only that, the cat sticks to him like glue. So the other guys decides to take it with them. Haha can see Sanzo's expression so funny. They then care for the cat so well that it gets annoying to Sanzo as they did it in his room. At night, the cat keeps going back to Sanzo's room no matter which room it stays in. May it be Goku's or Hakkai's it somehow stills find it's way to Sanzo. Haha then they went shopping and left the cat with Sanzo. The cat then starts to grow on Sanzo. All of a sudden demons attack with flying darts and the cat saved Sanzo! Awww...so touching. Sanzo then get's mad and shoots then the demons. In the end, the owner finds back her cat...having Sanzo and the others to have to leave the cat. Then the next ep was about food that can tasted so bad that it can actually kill demons! O_o' Too bad it was back in english...
Anyways, I've decided that though the voice acting may sound weird...Saiyuki is still Saiyuki. It still has ep with pro-found meanings and other really funny ones. Haiz...still remembers how Goku accidentally pulls out Sanzo's hair when they were in heaven. So funny.

13 shots into your skull, do you remember now?
A young man stood under the cherry blossoms of a cemetery, his face puzzled. And his hair flowing with the wind. He looked like he was waiting for something, for someone...but he didn't knew why.
Alone. Perhaps that's the best word to describe how I feel tonight. Under these falling cherry blossoms, I stand here...all alone. With no memories to keep me company...I wonder...why was I drawn here? The stars aren't shining...and the moon seems shy tonight. There's absolutely no reason at all...but yet, my heart is drawn to this place of resting. Then again...do I really need a reason? Do I need a reason to love? Wait...what did i just say?
"She...she was the only one who understood my sorrow...and I...I couldn't protect her!"
"Oh how I wish to see your gentle smile again."
"My heart will always stay by you...so no matter how far we're apart. You won't be alone."
"The tears...they just won't stop."
"Your...now and forever. My only one."
What the? Why am I hearing voices? Wait a minute...this is...my voice. Then...where is she? Where is the one I cared so much about?
All of a sudden, a lighting quick flash of light slashed down a tree near the young man. Krion stepping aside to avoid the tree, looked back and saw another man with robotic armor and light blonde hair. Cherry blossom petals filled the background as the unknown man once again launched another attack.
Barely defending himself, Krion blocked the attack with his sword and was badly shaken but still standing.
"And you are?"
"Aah yes. My deepest apologizes. We haven't been formally introduced. My name is Kenyin, and I'm a Godslayer...just like you."
"Then...why are we fighting?"
"Your in my way."
"I see..." Krion commented as he drew his twin pistols and fired a string of bullets at his opponent. However the bullets were deflected by the sword of light as quickly as they reached their target. As Krion charged forward towards the Godslayer, he switched back his weapons and asked curiously.
"Hey...there's something I'v been meaning to ask you."
While making a leap backwards, Kenyin replied softly, "Shoot."
Taking that as a queue to fire his gun, Krion switched back one of his swords and asked the Godslayer as his bullet flew directly towards that face.
"Why do you hate gods so much to slay them?"
Upon hearing that, Kenyin cried out loudly, "Hah! It seems that you've forgotten your memories. I can see it in your eyes...they're much more clearer now. But have your heart truly forgotten the sin God has done to you?" He then slashed down another cherry blossom tree that revealed a very familiar gravestone to Krion.
"Let your heart remember. If your mind cannot." the Godslayer explained as he pointed his sword towards the gravestone.
Puzzled and curious, Krion walked up towards it and read the engraved words aloud to himself. "Rena Valenight. I won't forget. My soul will remember."
And once more, many voices could be heard in his mind. Soon he realized whose gravestone was that... "No...no...it can't be. I promised...and yet...I couldn't protect her." His heart felt heavy again...as if something that had been lost...had now returned. Cold sweat dripped down his face together with the tears filling his eyes. He couldn't understand why, but the tears didn't seem to stop. His heart ached with each tear that dropped.
"Death beacuse of fate. Is it not God's doing? Destiny that foretold that I had to kill my father with my own hands. The idea of having your life controlled...those are my reasons. " Kenyin added as Krion dropped to his knees.
As the very last falling blossom touched the ground, Krion stood back up and delivered a dual blow with his swords to Kenyin. Suprised at the might of the blows, Kenyin made a leap backwards again and extended his plasma sword directly at Krion's throat. However, oddly Krion didn't move an inch...let alone tried to defend himself. Puzzled and confused at the young heretic's move, Kenyin stopped the sword before it touched his foe.
"Why do you not move hurt one? Do you wish to die? Is that it!" he shouted out in an annoyed manner, but before he got a reply...Krion redirected the plasma sword away from him and charged forward in an amazing speed. Retracting back his sword, Kenyin defended just in time but was overthrown by the might of the impact. Landing back on his feet gracefully like a cat, the Godslayer felt a sudden surge of demonic force approaching from behind. Turning to his back he saw two black swords approaching, one aiming for his heart, the other at his face. Catching the one aiming at his face, and defending the other with his sword. The Godslayer couldn't believe the strength of his foe, but as he stared at his eyes and looked upon the ground...he realized that the heretic had more then one shadow.
"What the..." but before he could finish, Kenyin was kicked heavily at the stomach and flew back a few metres. While the Godslayer struggled to recover, the heretic didn't seem to let up as he approached with his joined dual swords to form a buster blade. Seeing this, the Godslayer enlarged his plasma sword to form a buster blade as well, and swung it up at the other crashing down buster blade. The impact of the clash caused the two to be blown back another few metres as the Godslayer took the chance to extended his sword towards his foe again. In the confusion filled with dust, Krion switched back his weapons and blocked the incoming sword with the blade edge of his guns. As the smoke cleared, the sounds of gun fire could be heard. However the Godslayer defended every last bullet and shouted to his foe, "No matter how strong you become, your bullets can never hurt me."
The smoke of dust finally cleared, revealing a grining Krion as he asked the Godslayer. "Wanna bet?"
As the Godslayer stood a sword stance, by holding his sword inbetween his eyes. He replied confidently, "Heh, bring it."
As Krion whispered to himself, he aimed his gun directly at the Godslayer's heart.
"It doesn't really matters anymore. Tears without meaning, images, voices without meaning. A promise that I broke, though I have no memory of how it happened. All this...they don't matter anymore? What am I saying...I'm just runing away. They do matter. She still matters so much. I can't deny it. I...I want to remember. Even if the memories will cause pain. If that is what it takes to continue to love her, then I don't mind being hurt!"
Soon the bullet in his gun was glowing a bright yellow, energy surges seem to fill the air around him.
"It won't get through." Kenyin taunted as he trusted his sword to be able to hold back anything.
"I won't run. You won't run too now would you? If even I, a human blinded to his memories say it can. Then it'll most definitely can!" Krion replied emotionally as he pulled the deciding trigger. The bullet flew in a golden light, leaving behind small traces of it's presence. As it clashed with Kenyin's sword, the bullet stopped for a moment as it tried to break through it. Slowly, bit by bit though it got through closer and closer till finally. The bullet flew right through the Godslayer's chest and landed right at Rena's gravestone.
As Kenyin laid on the cherry blossom filled ground, he stared into the clear night sky tonight, "Yes. Finally...it ends for me. It seems that it was I who wished to die, not you."
"To tell you the truth, back there...I really felt like I needed to die too...but now, I guess it's very clear that I'm not allowed to die...not just yet anyway." Krion confessed as he too stared up into the sky.
"Hey...you mind doing me a favour? Bury me here...I kinda like this place. And one more thing, give my sword to your father. Tell him, I'm sorry." As Kenyin said his final words, he saw his whole life flashed infornt of him. All the moments he had spent with Ledius, Rinlee, Isenyu. And his once forgotten past...
How I wish, that our journey had never ended...that we still were on that blissful journey towards destiny. But it seems that I would be joining you soon Rinlee.
A life with no regrets, to live only to die happy. It seems that we have drift too far Ledius...heh, even so...I can say safetly "I'm content."
Meanwhile, back in the underground base a scout had just returned and ran up towards the commander's room. As he slam open the door, "Sir! The floating castle! The angels! There's an entire army of them! And they seem to be waiting for something."
The commander undaunted and partially undress, "Well then, what are you waiting for? Tell the others to prepare for a full scale assualt on the castle. Then after that, bring Jen here for coffee."
"Huh?" the scout commented as he heard the last part of his commander's orders.
A young man stood under the cherry blossoms of a cemetery, his face puzzled. And his hair flowing with the wind. He looked like he was waiting for something, for someone...but he didn't knew why.
Alone. Perhaps that's the best word to describe how I feel tonight. Under these falling cherry blossoms, I stand here...all alone. With no memories to keep me company...I wonder...why was I drawn here? The stars aren't shining...and the moon seems shy tonight. There's absolutely no reason at all...but yet, my heart is drawn to this place of resting. Then again...do I really need a reason? Do I need a reason to love? Wait...what did i just say?
"She...she was the only one who understood my sorrow...and I...I couldn't protect her!"
"Oh how I wish to see your gentle smile again."
"My heart will always stay by you...so no matter how far we're apart. You won't be alone."
"The tears...they just won't stop."
"Your...now and forever. My only one."
What the? Why am I hearing voices? Wait a minute...this is...my voice. Then...where is she? Where is the one I cared so much about?
All of a sudden, a lighting quick flash of light slashed down a tree near the young man. Krion stepping aside to avoid the tree, looked back and saw another man with robotic armor and light blonde hair. Cherry blossom petals filled the background as the unknown man once again launched another attack.
Barely defending himself, Krion blocked the attack with his sword and was badly shaken but still standing.
"And you are?"
"Aah yes. My deepest apologizes. We haven't been formally introduced. My name is Kenyin, and I'm a Godslayer...just like you."
"Then...why are we fighting?"
"Your in my way."
"I see..." Krion commented as he drew his twin pistols and fired a string of bullets at his opponent. However the bullets were deflected by the sword of light as quickly as they reached their target. As Krion charged forward towards the Godslayer, he switched back his weapons and asked curiously.
"Hey...there's something I'v been meaning to ask you."
While making a leap backwards, Kenyin replied softly, "Shoot."
Taking that as a queue to fire his gun, Krion switched back one of his swords and asked the Godslayer as his bullet flew directly towards that face.
"Why do you hate gods so much to slay them?"
Upon hearing that, Kenyin cried out loudly, "Hah! It seems that you've forgotten your memories. I can see it in your eyes...they're much more clearer now. But have your heart truly forgotten the sin God has done to you?" He then slashed down another cherry blossom tree that revealed a very familiar gravestone to Krion.
"Let your heart remember. If your mind cannot." the Godslayer explained as he pointed his sword towards the gravestone.
Puzzled and curious, Krion walked up towards it and read the engraved words aloud to himself. "Rena Valenight. I won't forget. My soul will remember."
And once more, many voices could be heard in his mind. Soon he realized whose gravestone was that... "No...no...it can't be. I promised...and yet...I couldn't protect her." His heart felt heavy again...as if something that had been lost...had now returned. Cold sweat dripped down his face together with the tears filling his eyes. He couldn't understand why, but the tears didn't seem to stop. His heart ached with each tear that dropped.
"Death beacuse of fate. Is it not God's doing? Destiny that foretold that I had to kill my father with my own hands. The idea of having your life controlled...those are my reasons. " Kenyin added as Krion dropped to his knees.
As the very last falling blossom touched the ground, Krion stood back up and delivered a dual blow with his swords to Kenyin. Suprised at the might of the blows, Kenyin made a leap backwards again and extended his plasma sword directly at Krion's throat. However, oddly Krion didn't move an inch...let alone tried to defend himself. Puzzled and confused at the young heretic's move, Kenyin stopped the sword before it touched his foe.
"Why do you not move hurt one? Do you wish to die? Is that it!" he shouted out in an annoyed manner, but before he got a reply...Krion redirected the plasma sword away from him and charged forward in an amazing speed. Retracting back his sword, Kenyin defended just in time but was overthrown by the might of the impact. Landing back on his feet gracefully like a cat, the Godslayer felt a sudden surge of demonic force approaching from behind. Turning to his back he saw two black swords approaching, one aiming for his heart, the other at his face. Catching the one aiming at his face, and defending the other with his sword. The Godslayer couldn't believe the strength of his foe, but as he stared at his eyes and looked upon the ground...he realized that the heretic had more then one shadow.
"What the..." but before he could finish, Kenyin was kicked heavily at the stomach and flew back a few metres. While the Godslayer struggled to recover, the heretic didn't seem to let up as he approached with his joined dual swords to form a buster blade. Seeing this, the Godslayer enlarged his plasma sword to form a buster blade as well, and swung it up at the other crashing down buster blade. The impact of the clash caused the two to be blown back another few metres as the Godslayer took the chance to extended his sword towards his foe again. In the confusion filled with dust, Krion switched back his weapons and blocked the incoming sword with the blade edge of his guns. As the smoke cleared, the sounds of gun fire could be heard. However the Godslayer defended every last bullet and shouted to his foe, "No matter how strong you become, your bullets can never hurt me."
The smoke of dust finally cleared, revealing a grining Krion as he asked the Godslayer. "Wanna bet?"
As the Godslayer stood a sword stance, by holding his sword inbetween his eyes. He replied confidently, "Heh, bring it."
As Krion whispered to himself, he aimed his gun directly at the Godslayer's heart.
"It doesn't really matters anymore. Tears without meaning, images, voices without meaning. A promise that I broke, though I have no memory of how it happened. All this...they don't matter anymore? What am I saying...I'm just runing away. They do matter. She still matters so much. I can't deny it. I...I want to remember. Even if the memories will cause pain. If that is what it takes to continue to love her, then I don't mind being hurt!"
Soon the bullet in his gun was glowing a bright yellow, energy surges seem to fill the air around him.
"It won't get through." Kenyin taunted as he trusted his sword to be able to hold back anything.
"I won't run. You won't run too now would you? If even I, a human blinded to his memories say it can. Then it'll most definitely can!" Krion replied emotionally as he pulled the deciding trigger. The bullet flew in a golden light, leaving behind small traces of it's presence. As it clashed with Kenyin's sword, the bullet stopped for a moment as it tried to break through it. Slowly, bit by bit though it got through closer and closer till finally. The bullet flew right through the Godslayer's chest and landed right at Rena's gravestone.
As Kenyin laid on the cherry blossom filled ground, he stared into the clear night sky tonight, "Yes. Finally...it ends for me. It seems that it was I who wished to die, not you."
"To tell you the truth, back there...I really felt like I needed to die too...but now, I guess it's very clear that I'm not allowed to die...not just yet anyway." Krion confessed as he too stared up into the sky.
"Hey...you mind doing me a favour? Bury me here...I kinda like this place. And one more thing, give my sword to your father. Tell him, I'm sorry." As Kenyin said his final words, he saw his whole life flashed infornt of him. All the moments he had spent with Ledius, Rinlee, Isenyu. And his once forgotten past...
How I wish, that our journey had never ended...that we still were on that blissful journey towards destiny. But it seems that I would be joining you soon Rinlee.
A life with no regrets, to live only to die happy. It seems that we have drift too far Ledius...heh, even so...I can say safetly "I'm content."
Meanwhile, back in the underground base a scout had just returned and ran up towards the commander's room. As he slam open the door, "Sir! The floating castle! The angels! There's an entire army of them! And they seem to be waiting for something."
The commander undaunted and partially undress, "Well then, what are you waiting for? Tell the others to prepare for a full scale assualt on the castle. Then after that, bring Jen here for coffee."
"Huh?" the scout commented as he heard the last part of his commander's orders.

[Here's to a get well soon to Cole.]
12 silver bullets, across the memory lane.
Memories...something which makes us who we are. If all of your memories were lost. Will you still be the same? Would you still carry the same smile or frown? Will you still cry for that special someone?
The rays of the pale white moon slowly revealed itself as the cold wind seemed to blew away all the troubles Krion had. The trees shuttered together with the wind as an angel like creature held it's palm directly above Krion's forehead.
"Your memories...are forgotten. Troubled one." it said as it gave a devilish smile before twitching one of it's fingers, creating a force that barely stopped twelve silver bullets from reaching his face and chest.
Looking back, it saw a silvered hair human wearing a silver coat with shoulder armor, carrying a pair of dual shot guns. Both equipped with laser sensors. He aimed his weapons at the angel before warning it in a meancing manner. "Let him go...or else."
"Or else what mortal? It is futile to go against me. He has already made his choice. There's no turning back now." it replied calmly as it slowly faded away, under the moon light.
As soon as it left, Krion fell to his knees before slowly collapsing. Catching him just before Krion's head touched the ground, the silver haired human carried him on his back and headed south of the city.
All of a sudden, just as he took the first step...hundreds of reapers began emerging from the ground and rooftops. As the silver haired human gazed upon the appearance of this fearsome army, he taunted to them.
"Tsk. Let the party began!" and drew his dual shot guns, prepared for any incoming reapers. However soon it seems that it wouldn't be necessary, as unpredicted firing from the sky wipped out the reapers around them. Curious, the human looked up but only saw a large continious flash of light. A ladder also soon appeared from that light , the silver haired human quickly carried Krion on to his shoulder and climbed onto the ladder. Signaling a sign to go, the hover jet soon took off into the skies again...with the dangling human and his saved heritic hanging in the air.
Meanwhile, Hien and Reina looked up the rooftop to see a glowing Ledius. Stretching out their wings, the siblings made a mighty leap towards their father.
"You have alot of explaining to do..." Hien commented as he clashed his sword against his father's.
Back away and withdrawing his sword he replied in a calm manner before disappearing into thin air in front of them.
"All in good time my son...all in good time. I'll be waiting for you at the highest floor in the castle of the gods...that is...if you manage to enter it."
With a grin on his face and a determined voice Hien replied confidently while pointing his sword towards where his father was just a moment ago, "Oh...don't worry...I will. After all...I have nothing to fear."
*****
Some where underground, Krion laid motionless on the white soft bed. For once he was peaceful...with nothing to bother him. Relaxed and relieved, he slowly opened his eyes to see a bright light shining on his face. As his eyes slowly adjusted to the surroundings, he spoke softly the three words that anyone without a memory would most proably ask.
"Where am I?"
"So...that angel was speaking the truth. You have lost your memories..." he said sadly as he found Krion's expression still remained the same.
"And you seem to not even care about it..." he added.
Krion looked down at the ring on his finger, the crossed shaped earing hanging from his ear and the twin guns he carried underneath his jacket...but nothing came to him.
"Indeed...my memories...they are lost. However oddly, all I can feel is a great sense of relieve...perhaps if you fill me in? I may recall something." Krion requested in hope of knowing who he was.
Leting out a big sigh, the young man took a deep breath before answering Krion, "Well...it has been three years since we last met...and we kinda left on each other's bad side a bit. If you know what I mean...we...fell for the same girl...and..."
*Flashback*
The sky brimming with light, but covered by many grey clouds. The two friends departed on this cloudy day...as the sound of airplanes lifting off filled the background.
"You better take care of her...or else!" the very same young man warned as he lifted up his laugage, preparing to leave.
"You know I will...you don't have to worry Jen, but do you really have to leave? " Krion asked sadly, knowing that it'll be a very long time till they meet again.
Lowering his head and turning his back, Jen answered sadly as well, "I have no choice...my father is needed there, so...my family has decided to move there. I wouldn't have wanted to leave her if I had a choice...but I guess it wouldn't had mattered anyway...afterall, she has already shown very clearly who she wanted to be with."
'Fight 108 departing soon. All passengers please take your seats immediately.'
"Well that's my flight. Farewell then, Krion Lockheart."
"Hey...the next time we meet. You wanna bet if you can catch a bullet with your bare hands?" Krion asked foolishly as he tried to lighten things up between them.
"Now why would I want do that? You going to fire a bullet at me or something?" Jen turned back and asked in an annoyed manner.
"Hah...it was just a thought...you don't have to get angry because of it..."
"Hmm I would love to try though." Jen said finally as the two departed.
*Flashback over*
"I see...where is she then?" Krion asked as he got even more interested in his past.
"I...was hoping that you would know...but...nevermind. Anyway, your in an underground military base...want a tour?"
"Definitely."
Meanwhile, along the ocean at the beach.
"He's very late..." Hien said as he stared out towards the ocean.
"Perhaps we should go without him..."
"No...this is his battle as well. Besides...it wouldn't be the same without him."
Back in the underground base, Krion had become very impressed with it. Just about every single kind of weapon was kept here. From missles to giant railing guns. It even had one of the most fearsome air crafts in the world, "Dreads." High speed jets that are able to out manuever just about anything if the pilot is good enough. However till now, there are only a handful of people who are able to utilize the full potential of a dread.
"And here we have our great five star restaurunt... I mean canteen!" Jen quickly changed his words as he remembered that they weren't supose to have a restaurant in this base.
Looking down at the nicely decorated so called canteen, with it's magnificent water fountain of a dragon, red table clothed tables, waiters, and a performing cook. Krion said in a sacarstic manner, "Yeah it sure looks like a special five star 'canteen'."
"Uhh lets move on shall we?" Jen said nervously as he led Krion into a different room. This time it was a room filled with targets on one side and soilders practicing their aim on the other.
"Lets have a round shall we?" Jen challenge as he drew his shot guns.
"I'm one step ahead of you." Krion replied as he fired a head shot on one of the targets.
Seeing how good his competition was, Jen got excited and fired a head shot as well...except that the power of his shot gun blasted down the entire head.
"Heh, it's not over yet." Krion clamied as he fired another string of shots. Each hiting the private parts of the human like targets.
"Ouch." a voice commented as Jen felt a firm grip on his shoulder. Recognizing the voice, he quickly turned back to greet his commander.
"Good morning sir. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Aah yes, I need to have a word with you in private." the commander replied as he stepped to a corner. He wore a green and black uniform and looked only a little older then Jen. Then again, everyone here looked quite young for soilders.
Following his commander to the corner he whispered to him, "If it's about the canteen, I have nothing to do with it."
"Huh? What? Anyway, I need a status report on your last mission."
"Oh yeah about that...it seems that it's worst then first presumed. There are demons everywhere, and angels seem to pop out when and where they like. It seems that God has already passed it's judgement. And it's not to our favour."
"So...it's exactly what your father foresaw in those ruins..."
"Yes and that's why our sector was form." Jen replied as he began to walk back to Krion, but was soon stopped by the commander's voice again.
"One more thing...you know not just anyone can come in here..."
"Yes...but I would trust him with my life if i ever need to."
"I see..."
[Aaah a kinda short chapter, with only about a thousand words...anyway did anyone noticed the names Kane and Keith in the previous chapter and even remember where they came from? Haha guess not. ]
12 silver bullets, across the memory lane.
Memories...something which makes us who we are. If all of your memories were lost. Will you still be the same? Would you still carry the same smile or frown? Will you still cry for that special someone?

As his eyes slowly adjusted to the surroundings, he spoke softly the three words that anyone without a memory would most proably ask.
"Where am I?"
Not long later a voice replied, "Somewhere safe."
Turning his head towards where the voice came from, Krion realized that this room looked alot like a medic room where sick patients rested in. Was he sick or something? He wondered as he couldn't reconizged the face infront of him. The young man had silver hair and matching grey eyes. His smile seem so familar but yet he couldn't seem to remember anything from it.
"Aah yes...and who might you be?" Krion asked curiously with a smile back to the young man. However the young man's expression soon changed as he heard those words. His face showed a mixture of confusion and disappointment as he commented on the question."So...that angel was speaking the truth. You have lost your memories..." he said sadly as he found Krion's expression still remained the same.

How can I go on? In a world without you...
Things which seemed to matter before, no longer do. My heart feels heavy...as if I'm lying to myself, whenever I said...'I'm okay.'
Though I'm no longer lost. And I know what I must do...I can't help but feel this way. So away from you, so away...from my one and only light.
Sorrow which creates darkness...in every heart.
It seems...I can no longer hold back now.
I...I wish. I wish to be free again.
So...please...make me forget...
------------------------------------------------
A few days have past since the day they escaped from hell. The world now lies in fear and sadness. As they fought a what seems like a neverending battle against the invading demons. There's been no signs of Ledius or any of the three God Slayers lately, as if they had suddenly disappeared. Perhaps killed? No...not that easily...but there's a rumor going around of three demon slayers saving the innocent. Could it be them? Hien on the other hand is still waiting for his chance to get even on his father. Reina naturaly following her brother, wheras Krion seem to be in a very weird trance lately...
But more importantly, a white modern looking castle have appeared from out of nowhere and now lies floating in the skies of their city. It seems the day of judgement have arrived.
Heaven saga~
Desend of the messengers of gods, 11 angels with no mercy.
In the comfort of the heavens,
"We are ready my lord." a demi god spoked as he kneeled down towards their overlord, their heavenly emperor.
"Then go, pass our judgement to the mortals." he replied as he signaled them to leave.
The leader of the group then stood up and started walking towards the gate of the heavenly palace, before being stopped by his lord's voice.
"And one more thing, Akari. Leave none alife."
The light blue haired god, wearing a matching robe strapped to his body and carring a twin silver dagger set around his waist. Replied with his crystal blue, cold eyes.
"Rest assured my lord. There will be no mercy."
And soon, the gate of the floating castle opened. Releasing eleven angels into the mortal world. As they flew out towards the night skies, Akari can't help but feel annoyed. As this wasn't the first time their overlord wanted to exterminate the humans. The reason? He wouldn't tell. And the last time they did it, he only sent one god. Which now lies dead...in the hands of a Lockheart. And even with that, it had been written in the records. That this was already the third time heaven has passed this very same judgement. And as the first two times it failed, the heavenly emperor would be murdered...by the hands of a God Slayer. And their names now lies entwined forever in the records. Ledius, Kenyin, Isenyu, Rinlee, and the infamous duo, Kane and Keith. Now...the question is, will history repeat itself once again?
'Ledius...' he whispered as he sensed the presence of this God Slayer. He then sent a message by mind to the angels he led. 'Spread out and carry out the sentence. I'll join you all shortly.' Soon, the ten angels all flew in different directions. Leaving behind a beautiful rain of white feathers. Akari then retracted back his wings, and fell downwards towards the presence.
Below him, a hooded Ledius in the allyway sensed the approaching god as well. Turning into his demon form he took off into the skies, drawing his sword. The two clashed blows against each and created a spectacular spray of sparks from the friction of two blades.
"Long time no see Akari." the demon greeted as he landed on one side of a rooftop. The god landed on the other side and greeted back as well, "Indeed, and I see your finally out of that firey prison."
"Yeah...so, have the judgement been carried out?" Ledius asked as he spotted an angel preparing to slay a mother and her child.
"Please...have mercy." the mother cried out, but her pleas seem useless towards the angel. With a swing of his sword, the blood of a loving mother had been spilled on to the floor which will soon turn a crimson red.
As Ledius witness the slaughter, he felt a sudden sense of uneasiness...many thoughts came to him...he turned back to face Akari again and saw his foe trembling.
"The one thing which we demons or gods can never feel or have...'a mother's love'. We were simply born by the seeds of God, to balance holyness and darkness... It is said that a mother's love is beautiful, and yet your angels...just murdered them without mercy... What has become of this world! What is God thinking! Tell me Akari...do you enjoy kill all these innocent people? Do you even understand why your fighting, why your your heart is struggling?" Ledius shouted angry as he realized how pitiful gods really were...it's no wonder Luna decided to leave that place. In search of her own heaven, a place which can comfort her.
Akari gripped his two daggers tightly, trying to control his feelings...but the wind blew back his hair, revealing his wet eyes.
"I...I regret now. I regret sparing your life at that time...if only I didn't. Then I wouldn't be this way...then I wouldn't have to realize the truth. I don't care even if it's a dream..."
Upon hearing this...Ledius kept quiet for awhile, before replying back to him. "Then...were you content in your dream? Were you happy? If you wasn't...then...wouldn't it be nothing more but just a nightmare? A life you can't control...is that what you want!"
Akari couldn't bear it any longer, his mind was so confused about the path he was on. Till a point he just had to let it all out.
"I...have just about enough of this! Today...you die!" he shouted as he dash faster then the normal eye could see.
"You won't feel any better till you admit it Akari!" Ledius commented as he blocked the first dagger and used his other hand to stop the other by grabbing it. Akari then pulled back his daggers as he dashed towards a different direction this time. Making a series of movements to confuse his opponent, Akari tried once more to stab away this thorn of his life. However, easily dodging it by taking a step back...Ledius sent a heavy punch towards Akari's stomach before making a spin and delivering a powerful kick from the back.
Crashing into the floor, Akari wasn't badly injured due to his God's protection...but he knew he couldn't win. This wasn't the same Ledius he had faced before...and he too wasn't as strong as he used to be. Perhaps the reason was because of his unsure heart, but if that is so...was Ledius right?
Why is he doubting his God? Why does he feel so uneasy? All these questions...he knew he can't find anywhere, but himself. However...none of this should matter now.
"In our lives...may it be a god's, a demon's or even a human's. We have many questions left unanswered...but that shouldn't be the thing stopping us from moving forward. So to the heck with it all now!" Akari decided as he once more lanuched another attack on Ledius. This time he created a wave of energy on one side before heading to another and releasing another wave in the split second on that side before moving on to another.
Barely dodging the waves by turning or moving from side to side, Ledius quickly drew his sword and defended from a physical incoming attack from Akari. As he held his ground during the impact, he felt himself being pushed back a bit...before having to dodge yet another wave of blue energy.
"I wonder..." he whispered as he held his sword forward awaiting for the next attack. True enough Akari approached from his back, and in the split second, from the right. However, once more just as they were about to colide...he retreated and attacked from the back again. This time, spining his body as quickly as he moved. Unable to react in time, Ledius was slashed five times on his back before being slashed upwards in to the air.
"A slash for a slash." Ledius commented as he spun back in mid-air and was just in time to stab through the god's protection, into Akari's stomach.
"What now Ledius? You going to capture my soul? Make me fight against my fellow gods?" Akari asked, as he pulled out the sword of the devil from his stomach.
"Would you rather end your existence in the world? And proceed to the resting place?" Ledius asked as he held his sword in between his eyes.
"No...there's still too much to be done. Allow me to fight by yourside. As a soul, as a spirit. Against gods...against demons. Until this madness finally ends." Akari replied as he kneeled down to Ledius. His stomach bleeding profusely...perhaps by doing this, his mind will finally find peace.
Bellow them, Hien and Reina had just finished their battle against an angel. "What have the mortals done to deserve such fate?" Hien asked as he stared back at the dead angel. It's once pure white feathers, now stained by the colour of blood.
"Perhaps this judgement. Is the reason why your father captured those demon's souls." Reina replied as she carried the baby away from her dead mother which they wasn't in time to safe.
"Perhaps...but are humans really going to just stand here and be slaughtered in the name of God?"
Meanwhile, in a nearby shelter...the other nine more angels had found themselves face to face with another heretic. Stretching out his black angel like wings, and fusing his twin swords into a double edged lance. His cold dead eyes, covered by his now white demon hair. Taunted coldly in a very annoyed voice.
"Is this heaven's judgement? Well...come on then! Aren't those humans behind this door your prey?"
The angels confused and surprised that anyone would speak to them in such a manner, quickly spreaded out to attack on all sides. Their once swords of justice and mercy, now swords of death and murder.
By using one hand to break the angel's protection, Krion quickly used his lance to slash down angel by angel. While he spun to slash another angel, his lance blocked the incoming swords around him before slashing it's true target. Their blood spilled onto him like water bursting from a water balloon. However, it didn't seem to affect the rampaging demon in his soul right now...
Then again just about nothing could sooth it now...a heart trapped in despair and sorrow.
"Feelings...created from memories. From moments. I...I just wish to forget now. To find eternal peace. It's always the same...but, it never really happens!"
And with that cry, the last angel had fallen.
Things which seemed to matter before, no longer do. My heart feels heavy...as if I'm lying to myself, whenever I said...'I'm okay.'
Though I'm no longer lost. And I know what I must do...I can't help but feel this way. So away from you, so away...from my one and only light.
Sorrow which creates darkness...in every heart.
It seems...I can no longer hold back now.
I...I wish. I wish to be free again.
So...please...make me forget...
------------------------------------------------
A few days have past since the day they escaped from hell. The world now lies in fear and sadness. As they fought a what seems like a neverending battle against the invading demons. There's been no signs of Ledius or any of the three God Slayers lately, as if they had suddenly disappeared. Perhaps killed? No...not that easily...but there's a rumor going around of three demon slayers saving the innocent. Could it be them? Hien on the other hand is still waiting for his chance to get even on his father. Reina naturaly following her brother, wheras Krion seem to be in a very weird trance lately...
But more importantly, a white modern looking castle have appeared from out of nowhere and now lies floating in the skies of their city. It seems the day of judgement have arrived.
Heaven saga~
Desend of the messengers of gods, 11 angels with no mercy.
In the comfort of the heavens,
"We are ready my lord." a demi god spoked as he kneeled down towards their overlord, their heavenly emperor.
"Then go, pass our judgement to the mortals." he replied as he signaled them to leave.
The leader of the group then stood up and started walking towards the gate of the heavenly palace, before being stopped by his lord's voice.
"And one more thing, Akari. Leave none alife."
The light blue haired god, wearing a matching robe strapped to his body and carring a twin silver dagger set around his waist. Replied with his crystal blue, cold eyes.
"Rest assured my lord. There will be no mercy."
And soon, the gate of the floating castle opened. Releasing eleven angels into the mortal world. As they flew out towards the night skies, Akari can't help but feel annoyed. As this wasn't the first time their overlord wanted to exterminate the humans. The reason? He wouldn't tell. And the last time they did it, he only sent one god. Which now lies dead...in the hands of a Lockheart. And even with that, it had been written in the records. That this was already the third time heaven has passed this very same judgement. And as the first two times it failed, the heavenly emperor would be murdered...by the hands of a God Slayer. And their names now lies entwined forever in the records. Ledius, Kenyin, Isenyu, Rinlee, and the infamous duo, Kane and Keith. Now...the question is, will history repeat itself once again?
'Ledius...' he whispered as he sensed the presence of this God Slayer. He then sent a message by mind to the angels he led. 'Spread out and carry out the sentence. I'll join you all shortly.' Soon, the ten angels all flew in different directions. Leaving behind a beautiful rain of white feathers. Akari then retracted back his wings, and fell downwards towards the presence.
Below him, a hooded Ledius in the allyway sensed the approaching god as well. Turning into his demon form he took off into the skies, drawing his sword. The two clashed blows against each and created a spectacular spray of sparks from the friction of two blades.
"Long time no see Akari." the demon greeted as he landed on one side of a rooftop. The god landed on the other side and greeted back as well, "Indeed, and I see your finally out of that firey prison."
"Yeah...so, have the judgement been carried out?" Ledius asked as he spotted an angel preparing to slay a mother and her child.
"Please...have mercy." the mother cried out, but her pleas seem useless towards the angel. With a swing of his sword, the blood of a loving mother had been spilled on to the floor which will soon turn a crimson red.
As Ledius witness the slaughter, he felt a sudden sense of uneasiness...many thoughts came to him...he turned back to face Akari again and saw his foe trembling.
"The one thing which we demons or gods can never feel or have...'a mother's love'. We were simply born by the seeds of God, to balance holyness and darkness...

What can I do for you?
What can I do for you?
...I can't hear you.
Haha, addicted to the song 'Real-Emotion' from ffx2. Really catchy in the jap version, but unfortunately it takes too long too load for me to put it up at blogger...sob* So if you wanna download it cause you have nothing to do, be my guest.
http://amon.bluelaguna.net/ffx2music/1/02%20-%20Real%20Emotion%20-FFX-2%20Mix-.mp3
It's from bluelaguna, your one stop for FF music.
Well anyway, life is going on in a weird manner for me..."but even so..." :this always keeps me going for some reason. And as for my story, the hell saga is finished with the end of '10 condemns of the soul' And the story is standing at only around 10k of words. [Oh my gosh, it's 2 k lesser then Wrath's !] And I bought a really weird comic [Dragon Glade] which artist is from singapore, and I have to say...it's so colourful but so short...the storyline is simplictist enough and the characters are...well...they have 'character'. Haha, then at the end he even put a status system for his character like those in a video game. Looks fun to do...maybe next time I should draw a chibi version of Krion and give him a status system as well. Hah...maybe next time if I ever get to make a game, I'll use this storyline. *Imagines controling Krion like in Devil may cry 3.* Man...the story would have looked awesome in 3d animation... Oh well...it's my ambition I guess...dunno if I can succeed, but even so...I must 'insert word/s'
Long time no put quote.
Amibtion which directs me,
Passion which drives me.
The sky may be hard to reach,
but even so...we must.
Talent that discourages me,
Support that enriches me,
Struggling may be the only way...
but even so we must.
For what have we learn today class? [Haha]
"Even so we must!"
[Hopes this cheers up someone...]

Ten condemns of a soul
The world has changed quite alot in this past ten days, everyone is always on high alert of any demon attacks. The military has stationed their troops everywhere to defend the cities. Schools have stop, and almost everyone has gone to hide in the shelters. Though...there are still some people who prefer to stay in their houses, thinking that staying in a shelter would be easy targets for the demons. Krion was sent to the nearest hospital they could find and quickly sent to the emergency room. Hien and Reina awaited eagerly out side while realizing...that this whole mess was their fault. In pursuit for their own desires, they had caused chaos upon the world.
"All this...just for your revenge..." Reina said softly as she took a sit and tried to relax while waiting for an answer. However, none came. Hien just kept quiet and stared out the window. In his mind raced the thoughts of regret and remorse, but that didn't change the fact that he still hated his father. And with that he finally replied, "Even so...my hate for him is still there. And once this is all over, I'll clean up this mess."
There was then a sad moment of silence. After a few minutes, Reina stood up to visit the bathroom before asking her brother, "Are you so sure you'll win?"
"It's my reason to live..."
Meanwhile, there was a war raging in Krion's mind.
"Where am I?" an image of himself asked in the pitch black darkness. Oddly, a faint voice replied.
"No where."
"Then why am I here?" Krion asked as he looked around to see if he could find anyone.
"You've been given a choice...a decision you must make. For you are connected." the voice spoke again.
"Connected? To what?"
"The darkness." the voice replied as he revealed himself from the shadows.
Upon seeing his demon self, Krion shouted in surprise, "But...but your me?"
"Yes...and you have a desicion to make."
"And what would that be?"
"A reason to fight. If not...I must leave you once more." the demon replied calmly.
Confused, Krion began asking more questions, "What do you mean?"
His demon side took a deep breath before finally explaining, "Have you ever noticed before you knew you were part demon and god...whenever you were angry or in a fight. Your body would change and become stronger depending on the level of your feelings. Then on the night of devil may, you snapped and completed your demon form. Now recently...you have learnt to let go and freed your god side. However...you have lost your reason to fight."
Meanwhile, Hien too was having the same talk with his demon self.
"A reason to fight?" both Hien and Krion asked their demon selves.
"Yes...your reasons seemed very unclear lately, so we want to get it straight."
Grining the both remembered a familar quote and replied in an annoyed manner, "For...ourselves of course."
"Though everyone always say the're fighting for something, for someone...if you go to the root...is it not for themselves? To find peace with one's self, to kill someone for revenge. Are they not our desires which led us to fight? For ourselves, for our feelings. Everyone's the same."
After that, the two brothers quickly broke into laughter before explaining to their puzzled demon selves, "Haha, too much Saiyuki..."
Seeing the two brother's smiles they asked once more, "So...you'll follow this?"
With a slight smile on their face and the confidence to go against the world, the two brothers replied confidently, "Till the day we take our last breath."
Back in the hospital Reina had found Hien sleeping soundly against the window, and the doctors had reported that Krion was going to be fine. With a sigh of relieve she carried Hien to Krion's room.
As she gazed upon the two sleepy heads, she felt a sense of peace. All her troubles soon vanished, with the thought in her mind.
'As long as they were together...nothing else will matter.'
And for a long time in so many days, she finally relaxed and fell asleep as well.
The next morning, she was awoken by the music of guitars and singing to a familar rythem. She soon realized that she was back at their old place along side the ocean's rising sun. Where they used to sing and played in their band. And the song playing now...was none other then one of Krion's and Hien's favourites.
'Saiyuki~Tightrope.'
So, we go on refining life like an ever-sharpened knife.
And our faces are reflected on the back of a windowpane.
Now the target's set as me if my weaknesses they see
it will come to haunt me once again.
With that pressure hemming in on you from on every other side.
We smile just like the other folks but with a lot more pride.
Oh, I'm sure no matter who you are, it always stays the same.
I must fight against myself.
So, such an angelic face now coming down the road.
Unable to foretell sudden tragedy will unfold.
With never a sound.
With nary a cry I look up to the blue sky.
And now keep acting out the roles you have in any scene you play.
Before you talk of dreams or hope in any other way.
Oh, I'm sure no matter who you are, it always stays the same.
You must fight against yourself.
The sun sets and a new day comes.
Repeating is one change.
Don't avert eyes from differences.
Your nerve and soul to the limit.
Go forward now.
With pressure hemming in on you from on every other side.
We smile just like the other folks but with a lot more pride.
Oh, I'm sure no matter who you are, it always stays the same.
I must fight against myself.
Oh, I'm sure no matter who you are, it always stays the same.
You must fight against yourself.
Smiling happily for her brothers, she too joined them for the next song...
"For a moment of peace..."~

MotherLand~FullMetalAlchemist
On that day you left, I just waved good bye as usuaul
as if we were to meet again in this city.
To believe in love is to not lose to myself
until my wish comes true, I'll remain with a smile
and look at the stars, praying, and will be here.
I want to be the sky for you,
even enveloping all of your pains.
Whenever I look up, I want to feel
that I'm not alone even if I'm far away.
Let there be a place I can return to.
I'm still living happily in this city without you
because I feel that that's the one thing I can do now.
There's a hidden meaning to all things that happen
I hope you'll remain yourself even if your dream begins to vanish
because I'll always be here.
It's okay even if you're not strong enough to erase all tears.
After you rest your tired heart,
wish for a better tomorrow and fall asleep
like the young children.
This vast world is connected,
the white clouds will flow and turn into wind to reach you.
Will my voice reach you?
I couldn't say those overflowing feelings for you.
I want to be the sky for you,
even enveloping all of your pains.
Whenever I look up, I want to feel
that I'm not alone even if I'm far away.
Let there be a place I can return to
Let there be a place I can return to

On that day you left, I just waved good bye as usuaul
as if we were to meet again in this city.
To believe in love is to not lose to myself
until my wish comes true, I'll remain with a smile
and look at the stars, praying, and will be here.
I want to be the sky for you,
even enveloping all of your pains.
Whenever I look up, I want to feel
that I'm not alone even if I'm far away.
Let there be a place I can return to.
