(Because of my annoying friend (Josiah) kept bugging me to post a new chapter of my story, I decided to give in and post the new chapter here. But before that, I have to admit. I haven't really write stories in a couple of months now so I'm a little rusty. So before I post my new chapter, I'm gonna do a short story about the song that I recently heard. It's from Sound Horizon - The Day When I Struck Down My Lover. It's an awesome song~ Well, hope you enjoy! XD)
The flame projected by the drawn bow freezes up the night sky
It was all my fault. Everything. If I hadn't went into the woods that night, none of this would of happen. You became like this because of me. I know that you would not wish to suffer like this. I know that you never meant to harm anyone. I know that from the bottom of my heart that this is my responsibility. But yet, I can't seem to pull the trigger. My hands are shaking with fear, sadness and uncertainty. Is this truly the only way? Isn't there anything I can do to save his life? My love, I know that you wouldn't want anything more than this. So please.... Forgive me.
With a poem of departure, gallantly blue, I strike you down my love
The sound of a guns shot echo throughout the forest. Tears fell from my eyes like a rushing waterfall. I watch silently as your lifeless body fell on the ground. The tattoo on your body gradually fade away. I took a shaking step towards you. My legs feel like jelly; my strength began to left from my body. I try to stop crying since I know that you hate to see me cry. But at your current presence, I can not. Your expression that was fierce and unhumanlike had now turn to smilling. You seem at peace. And yet.... I am not. I don't know that you would forgive me but I couldn't. The sin for killing you is too much for me to bear. I should have notice the signs earlier. You kept them well hidden so that I wouldn't worry. My love, you know that I would do anything for you. My life without you would be meaningless. I don't know if we could meet again in the next life but if possible, please forgive me. After all, I am a human. I press the gun on my forehead. My love, please, please forgive me.....
Something long forgotten , a torn-open scar
It was just another ordinary, boring night. I was recently hunting for a certain wanted beast. Since I am a Monster Hunter, I live my life by hunting monsters, kill them and recive the rewards. It is a fulfiling life. I love every moment of it. I was always careful to take care of myself while hunting because not many girls at my age become a Monster Hunters. I travel from place to place; never staying at a town longer than 3 weeks. I don't have friends because of my job but it never bother me in the lishgtest. That night, while I was searching for clues about my current target around town, I went into a local bar. It was lively with people. No one that is around my age though. I sat in the most crowded area to eaves drop on the townsfolk. Fortunately, I manged to obtain a lot of information. As I got up to exit the bar, I saw you at a corner alone. You were staring at me as I was staring at you. Something inside of me tense up. I don't remember what now. Your clear blue eyes pierce through me as if searching for an answer within. I mentally slap myself and quickly left the bar. That was the fisrt time that we meet.
You have been bearing this cursed promise in your chest silently
Looks like I haven't research about the beast quite enough. It turns out the beast only emerges to rampage on the townsfolk in the night of the full moon. Well, I found out that piece of information when I was pounced as soon as the clouds reveal a full moon. The beast was quite frightful. It had sharp claws that can gouged your eyes, razor teeth that can tear flesh apart like tearing a cotton candy, inhuman strength and it's body is cover with black strange looking tattoos. Although the beast was on top of me, I remain calm. I have dealt with this kind of situation before. I shot the beast right in it's red eye's. The beast howl in pain and kick it off me. It crawl away and disappear. I let my guard down. I didn't think that it would attack me from above at all. Just as I was about to turn around, the beast leap from a nearby tree and thrust it's claws out to me. I would be a goner if you haven't show up. Everything happened too fast. I fell down on the ground as the beast fell in front of me. When I managed to calm my mind, the beast had already been killed. It had been slice apart by a dagger. "Are you okay?" Said a tired voice. The same man from the bar was standing behind me. You were out of breath. The daggers in your hands are cake with blood. A noticeable wound was on your left shoulder. That was the moment that we spent our short life together.
The cross-shaped flame embracing the moon wreathes around the briers
From friends, we become lovers. Because of you I decided to stay at the town. We were happy. I was happy. You treat like a girl; not a Hunter. You touch me with kindness and love. You were also a Monster Hunter but you are so unlike me. You treasure life and never intentionally steal a life from even a monster. You were truly special. Not just to me. To everyone. The townsfolk's respect and adore you. You treated everyone equally but not me. You treated more. You were very protective about me. You always make sure that I am happy and well. As time went by, I even forget that I was a Monster Hunter. You gave me a new life. A life that was in the brink of an ending.... Days turn to Weeks and Weeks turn to months. I had notice that you behavior is quite odd. You would always wake up in the middle of night and wander about in the woods. You rarely smile anymore and you seems to distant yourself from others. Even from me. I grew very worried but you seem not to care. I try everything I could to make you open up to me so that I could help you but you wave me away. I never stop trying. I kept trying to find the reason why you behave as such. If only I found sooner...
With this final arrow, gallantly white, I strike myself down
A night of a full moon. I woke up in the midnight finding that you are not next to me on the bed. Worried, I grab my gun and went out to search for you. All habits die hard. I circle around town twice and still no sign of you. So I decided to search for you in the woods. The woods was too quiet. The cold night air sent chills through my body. I carefully walk without making any noise. I abruptly stop by the sound of a sudden roar. I realized that I had walk to a lake occupy by a monster. It was staring into the lake. When it heard me, it snapped it's head back. I almost fainted. I cover my mouth in horror as my eyes widen with pain and shocked. It was my love. Partly. He look like a half man and half beast. His eyes narrowed and inhumanlike. His nails turn to claws and he had razor teeth. He was changing into a beast. Why...? I suddenly recalled that certain monster has the ability to pass it's curse to a victim by bitting or hurting me. My love was wounded by the beast in order to save me. It was my fault. Black tattoos start to form across his body. His face twisted with agony. I ran towards him but my love hold me back. I didn't obey. I hug him dearly. His body tensed with my action but then relax. We stay like that for a couple of minute. Suddenly, he pushed me away with such inhuman strength. Winced, I got up from the ground. I stare at my lover. The curse is taking over him. Above that, he looks in so much pain. What should I do? If the curse fully take over him, he would become a mindless savage beast and my lover would be gone for ever... But if i killed him - No! How could I think should a thing! My lover, although struggling to kept the curse on chain, somehow knew my thoughts. "Do it!" He begged.... Leaving me with the most the dificult decision in my life.
In a world where I have lost my lover, what colour will the flowers bloom?
BANG! I never regret anything. I enjoy my life and enjoy it with only you my love. Like I said, I don't know if we will be able to meet again but if we do, I really do wish you could forgive me for everything. Although I act like a tough and strong will girl, I cannot live without you my love. Let the world notice of our sacrifice towards one another and live to tell our tell. Our story start with a fate full encounter and ended with a sad destiny. But I never regret any of it. To me, my lover.... You are all that I had to live for....
(So was that good? Damn it was not. It meant to be short but it turn into this! Well, at least it's good to know that I haven't lost my novel writting skills XD)
