My or our world is borrowing. And for me, I'm your average otaku. I would always bury myself in manga. My mom put a limit on me on how many I could check out from the library because I would check out up to 16. So I'm now only allowed four.
Sucks......
If I could travel to a different world, that would be better.
I sat in my bed catching up on homework and manga. I finally finished and I decided to take a nap. I close my eyes and let the darkness take me.
"Hmmmm......" I slowly flutter my eyes open.
"Miss are you okay?!"
And I'm met with a pair of pink ones to close to my face.
"KYAAAAAA!!" I punch the guy in the face and make a run for it.
"Hey wait!" I him yell.
I run out of the alley and to the open area. I see tons of people, wearing Greek style clothing. Why does this all look familiar for some reason?
"Wait!" I turn around and see that guy again.
"Hell no!" I quickly run into the crowd of people loosing him.
I kept running and running, until I saw a building. I snuck in and decided to hide out there. As I was in the shadows, I found my way to a huge garden. I never seen such beautiful flowers. Making sure no one was around, I stepped out. I walked over to the small fish pound I saw. I crouch down and touch the surface. The water ripples, a peaceful bell chime is heard.
"I feel that walking has become another chore
I don't think I can go on walking anymore
Forgive me for those words, I know they're but a cliche to you
But life is tiring, my feet are feeling sore
I wish that I could have a bit of time
To heal the ache that is growing stronger all the time
But I know time stops for nobody, let alone me
And so I go inevitably
Whenever things are going rather happily
It turns out life is just playing a trick on me
It's slightly shameful to admit the truth, I end up in tears
And so returns the same old melancholy
I miss when life was just simplicity
And misery wasn't always chasing after me
It's pretty obvious now, I should have left my regret
But I held onto it so foolishly
Maybe I overreact a bit, it hasn't destroyed me yet,
Has it? But everything I desire is always just too far to get
Honestly it's just me, brainlessly, so silly,
Always hoping for good to be
If that's the case
Then just hear my plea
Pick me up and drop me
Into unfaltering sleep
You say to look hard for a solution
But wouldn't that depend on the person?
So I could never. No, I could never
Believe a word anyone says
I know that everyone has their hardships
It's fairly clear to me that I'm not alone
But how is it that they can just leave them,
I just don't know at all
Often I'm told I need to clean up my act
Although maturity is something I lack
And so when some simple little problems arise
I overthink them over and over again
It seems that the world is just a troublesome place
So sometimes I think that I should just end the pain
You're sick, aren't you, dear? I'm sick of the tears
Why can't everything just end simply?
Everything I aspired to be is nothing that will become of me
If my expectations are too far-fetched then just what am I to do?
Give a sign, give a sign, a reason not to die,
Give me a chance to prove my worth
I constantly search for
A place to cry
Why won't these tears just stop
Pouring from my eyes?
It's hard to constantly think of the same things,
It's just unnecessary to think too much
You always told me stars would guide me back home
Although they only show at night
You always showed me so much kindness,
I don't deserve it, I have failed you too much
I think my tiny heart is going to split,
Just leave it be for now
Step back from me
Please leave me be
This so deceitful road that I stumble on
Is never going to end
It's getting difficult to manuever
And it's just worthless to try and run away
So I'll just hold my hands over my ears
And block out all this noise
How can I live not knowing what life is?
Sometimes my dreams seem to be more realistic
Obviously I can't be called happy,
Then what am I after all?" I sang.
I just felt like it. I guess I yearned to sing. Back at home, everyone would make fun of my voice. I was so afraid of singing. So afraid.
- 3rd POV-
A girl with big, bright, blue eyes that are usually closed and only open when she wants to put emphasis on something or when things go wrong. She has long blonde, wavy hair with two braids in the back that reaches down to her ankles with alaurel wreath of grapes and vines around the left and right side of her head. Her attire consists of a long white robe that looks similar to a stola, with loose short sleeves over her shoulders that are secured by a round fibula, and a long red (pink in the anime) ribbon tied under her bust. It's usually not seen, but underneath her long robe she is depicted barefoot. She has a wand that appears similar to a trident, it is longer than her body in height, and is in the shape of a crescent moon pointing upwards, a spherical red gem center, and a pointed tip that extends through the gem. Next to her, a boy with a similar appearance to her.
"Who is she?" The boy asked the girl.
"I do not know. The rukh around her are acting strange. She isn't fallen, so that's good news." The girl said.
She said the girl with (h/c) stand up. She was was crying.
"Why am I even alive? First time singing my heart out....yet....I still...don't feel relieved. Maybe I should sing another." The (e/c) girl sat down again.
One day
The light of love
Though it may seem far away
Will shine again in your eyes
(Transcend and rise above)
But there's only one dream
And it has ripped at the seam.
This world will end in ruin
(And I'll lose all I love)
Swallow all your doubt
Make your lust cry out
I will help you swallow your hesitation
You'll trust me
Cause you yearn with greed
Though your heart may bleed
Will we fade away from this world
with no hope to hold onto?
I remember you from a dream I thought was truth
You bright with magic and I blinded by my youth
All is wish is for your hand to hold, you see
Only your smile kills the dark in me
With these hands I try to hold what I cannot seize
I'm like a rose thrown into a violent breeze
All my strength blown away
With my heart I will stay
Praying for light
Guiding my wish with all my might
One day
It will come true
That wish you have inside you
To save the one that you love
(Is that a selfish act?)
They will
Latch to your heart
That's when confusion will start
You'll say words you've never heard
(Just how would you react?)
If I can go on
And not lose my way
I will sacrifice my heart and let it fray
To pieces
What I really need
Is a spell to cast
To stand up against all the pain
and fear that will always last
You are still lost in a dream
watching the past skies
While I am the only dreamer that cannot rest
But I will open my eyes
And chase the hope
That I will be at your side as if we're blest
With these hands I've picked a rose
And have stopped its life
Only now I understand
I stole its life
Deep inside I'm alive
For my love I'll survive
Though I regret using my own heart as a sheath
The stories that I heard as a child
Kept me dreaming
Where magic runs free
And imprisoned suns remain always gleaming
The fairy tales I loved have taught me (have taught me)
That no matter what hurdles there may be
Your wish comes true
(Was I a fool to trust in those lies?)
In the night wild with fright
The old magic stirs
Blooming with grace
It rises up to meet my face
"With your hands you can change this whole world of yours. Everything that you wish for is in your grasp"
All I want is to fore ver dream with you
To live a life where all of me is a live
Deep inside I will give
All my love just to live
I won't regret making this sinful wish of mine
The girl cried as she sang, unknowing people were watching her. As she sang, the rukh around began to form images of the music she sang. The first one, story of a battle, the second one. A group of girls fighting to protect the ones they love. They watched in amazement. Never have they seen anything like this. The boy figured out the girl must be a magician.
The (h/c) girl stopped singing. She smiles a little. Then....
THUMP!!
She blacked out and fell unconscious to the ground. The two ran up to her.
"Lady Scheherazade, is she alright?!" The boy panicked as he picked up the girl bridal style.
"She's alright Titus. But I wonder where she comes from? I never seen the clothes she's wearing before." Lady Scheherazade said worried.
They took her back inside the building and set her down in a bed in the infirmary.
They left and they both saw a Man with red pair and pink eyes, golden gladiator armor, with a black eye, coming there way.
"Muu? How did you get that black eye?" Lady Scheherazade asked him.
"Well.....I found an unconscious girl in an alley. She woke up and I guess I scared her and she.....punched me in the eye." He rubbed the back of his head nervously.
It took Titus everything he could to keep himself from laughing.
"Rejected?" Titus smirked and Muu shot him a glare.
"I----!!!
"WHERE THE HELL AM I?!?!?!"
"Well....I think she just woke up." Titus snikers.
The three open the door and walk in. They see the girl about to jump out the window.
"Hey wait!" Titus ran over to her.
