Tales

.

It's been so long since I've been in a real forest. 

After all I've done,

I know that everything I make is fake.

Although, today is special.

6/6.

He'll be here after all this time.

The next few years will be special for me.

Then again...

I have to go through this forest to find him.

***

It wasn't much of a challenge.

Clairvoyance has never been my strong point.

And I'll have to give most of it up too.

I could just teleport,

but I feel like

it's more natural like this.

***

Oh...

I finally found him.

He's crying,

unlike me when I was his age. 

It's funny.

He's just gonna be a coward when he grows up,

all because of me.

***

I wonder...

How would he think of this world if he remembers it?

What would he think of me...

if he remembered?

Would his trust be better?

Would everything turn out different?

...

No.

I'm not letting that happen.

...

He's in my arms right now.

Looks so peaceful.

I wonder if I was like that...

Well, I probably was,

but he probably won't grow up to be as blank

as me.

Luckily,

that would help.

...

"Hey,

I know you'll hate me

and...

thank you for that.

I hope you do what I want,

but,

you'll obviously do it.

But... even though

I've been waiting for this for so long...

...

Heh,

I sorta feel a little scared,

I'm finally going to die after all!"

A tear ran down my eye,

that hasn't happened ever since my execution.

"Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."

I swirl my finger for black dust to come and appear. 

His flabby arms are trying to grab hold of them, 

he's even cooing. 

It's almost hilarious, 

yet adorable all the same. 

...

How long is it going to be until I give him away? 

Three more months I suppose. 

It'll be his half birthday by then. 

That'll be the days when he'll be normal for a little bit 

at least.

"-----... 

I'm not going to treat you like I am now.

You're going to do what I wish, 

every step of the way. 

You won't know though, 

I just look like an angel, don't I? 

A fallen angel, of course, why else would I be here? 

Then again, that's just what they called me. 

Although, nothing makes sense about me, right?

They're all in their brainwashed heads after all. 

Of course, you'll be too, 

but you'd still be fun to play this game with me, 

right, 

---?"

"I hope you have fun in this world too."
