[b]There he stood, in front of the door to a forgotten love.
The change she had under gone was still unknown to him, though he heard stories.
He refused to believe them, he had been searching to long to lose hope now.
He raises his hand, placing it on the door, contemplating whether or not he should knock at all.
[b]He sighed heavily, remembering the green dragon they had fought.
And so he knocked, The man known only as Royal having fallen in love, fought her.
The door was answered, and one solitary word escaped his lips as a woman looked at him, shocked [/b][/b]
"Yuria..."
[spoiler]ORRRRN [/spoiler]
English
-
"...Roy." [i]The previous mentor of the Sable Church only stood there, staring at him. Why? Why did she forget? How could she forget? Was it her plans? Her goals?[/i] "...W-What are you doing here, R-Roy?" [i]Clad in her pure black dress, obsidian black gauntlets and leggings, and the decorated mask she had bore for the majority of her career. Underneath it was a changed face. She could never explain to Royal why she resorted to facial surgery, he wouldn't understand. None of them would. She tried to make Anri something more, something better. She refused... No. Yuria wouldn't give up her plans that easily.[/i]
-
[b]He embraced her, holding her in a tight squeeze and began sobbing into her shoulder. He didn't say anything, he simply cried [/b]
-
[i]Yuria only stood there silently, before placing an armored hand on Royal's shoulder and embracing him. Her masked head leaned against his shoulder, her voice muffled by its cold, metallic exterior.[/i] "...Shh...It's alright, Roy...I'm here..."
-
[b]He pulled away, his hood falling backwards and showing his shaggy unkept hair. His eyes had dark circles underneath them and his eyes were red. Either from lack of sleep or sobbing. He seemed much thinner then before and gave a faint smile, before embracing her again [/b]
-
"Royal...what's happened to you?" [i]A tone of apparent fear was in Yuria's quiet voice, for she did not know that Royal was doing so badly...from just being away from her.[/i]
-
"War. War happened." [b]His voice was scratchy, and sad [/b]
-
"Oh.. Roy, I..." [i]Yuria sounded as if she would break down at any moment, really. Her voice cracked a little, seeming older than when they first met.[/i] "...I've changed...O-Over some damned plan that was doomed to fail from the beginning..."
-
"It happens. But we can fix it. We can work to fix it and make it better."
-
[i]Yuria only sighed in response, embracing Royal still as she placed her head upon his shoulder silently. No one would understand her motives, what she wanted to do. Maybe Roy would...maybe.[/i]
-
"I've heard so many things... I can't believe them."
-
"...I'm sorry, Royal.." [i]The woman only sighed, her armored hand placed on Royal's side.[/i] "I've done terrible things. Terrible things, truly...I don't expect you to wish to stay with me after..."
-
"So.... They're..... True?" [b]He says this in between sobs, his whole body shaking [/b]
-
[i]Yuria was only silent in response, for the stories, the tales of darkness, the murders, and the events concerning Anri...they were true.[/i]
-
"I..... Don't.... Care...." [b]He calmed slightly, trying to catch his breath. [/b] "I... Only...... Care... For... You."
-
"...Roy, I..." [i]Yuria only stared at Royal silently. Under her mask, her lovable dark brown eyes had widened. She didn't expect Royal to say...that.[/i]
-
"What? Are... You... Suprised.. That I still love you?" [b]His sobbing stopped and he just stood there, his head nestled into her shoulder as he held her in a tight hug.[/b]
