The Light Inside the Darkness
I look down at the girl in my arms as we are on the bed. How did this
happen? How could it have happened? I am a sorceress of black magic. I
am known as the bandit-killer, the dragon-destroyer, I am feared by
all wherever I go, I destroy bandit camps and take their treasures, I
admit, I can be selfish, I can be cold-hearted, it was like I never
cared about anyone else but myself, until I met her.
I stroke her soft hair, holding her close to my own naked body. I can
hear her soft breathing as she relaxes in my warm embrace. I look
outside the window of our inn room. There is a glowing moon. Was it
fate? Was it destiny? She is a princess of white magic. She is
innocent, pure on the inside, had a proper upbringing, cares more
about others than herself, always tries to do the right thing, even if
it cost her own life, the opposite of myself. I thought hard as I move
my hands down to rub against her back. She moans softly at the gentle
touch as I rest my chin on top of her soft black hair.
Ever since the day we met, we stuck together like glue. I never
imagined I would be able to tolerate someone who turned against me at
one point. Three long years of being together, through and through, no
matter what we were always there for each other. What was it about her
that I liked? Was it the fact she is a princess? Was it her specialty
in white magic? No, I even called her an annoying little princess. But
she admired me no matter what; despite my reputation, despite my dark
desires, she changed all that. After so many adventures, I've finally
come to a conclusion. She means more to me than all the treasure I've
ever gotten combined. And I can tell the same thing applies to her as
well. To think I was jealous of her life as a royal. Poor girl's had a
long lonely life. All those endless hours of studying in her room,
having to live up to her father's expectations but could never do what
she wanted to do. What was that? What I had. A life full of freedom. A
life full of adventure and exploring the world. How ironic that those
were the things she had always been deeply envious of me. I could only
think of the wealth she was born into, but never how she truly felt
deep inside. Yes, I have grown to love the princess who was always
there to help me out. She has grown up so much.
I tilt her chin gently and gaze into her beautiful sparkling eyes. She
smiles, blushing. I can tell by the moonlight. It makes her face even
more beautiful. Passionate love shining in her eyes, almost shedding
light, piercing my soul, her warm smile, her entire face is enough to
melt even my own rather cold heart. My mind is immediately at peace as
I look into them. <Such beautiful and innocent eyes, like two of the
most beautiful stars taken from the night sky> I think to myself.
Stroking her cheek, I admire her body, no longer jealous of it.
I place my left hand on her right cheek. Her smile grows more
beautiful, her eyes close, and she leans against my hand. I caress her
cheek gently, my heart melting by the sight of her happy face, her
life having been completed since she met me. I've stolen treasures
beyond anyone's imaginations, but I've stolen something whose value
could never be surpassed , the heart of a princess who loves me for
who I am, not for what I had, what I can do or what I am. I suddenly
feel tears forming in my eyes. She glances up slowly, notices and
reaches up. I close my eyes, feeling her soft and gentle hand brushing
away my tears. I kiss it softly and look down at her. She smiles.
<How could I possibly deserve...such passionate love from her?>
She rests her body against mine, sighing. I can tell it a sigh of
content and happiness more than anything, from the moment she made her
confession to me here inside our room. I wrap my arms around her,
holding her close and smiling. I love the warmth of our bodies pressed
against each other. I love her. I really do. I can no longer hide my
feelings anymore. "Amelia?" I whisper as gently as possible. Just
saying her name makes me feel warm inside. "Hai, Lina-san?" Even the
sound of her voice can sweep my mind away like a dream. Gently I pull
her down to lay next to me. I stare into her eyes. I can actually hear
her heart pounding, her eyes staring back into mine. "I love you." I
wrap an arm around her and pull her closer. Her eyes seem to sparkle
like diamonds under the moonlight. "Lina Inverse?" She reaches out and
caress my cheek. "I've been meaning to say the same thing. I love you,
too, with my life. No money or treasure anywhere can ever match to how
much you're worth to me. You're like an angel from heaven, an answer to
all my wishes and prayers since I was a child'"
I kiss her passionately after hearing those words, holding her close
to me. She moans and deepens it. I slowly break the kiss and embrace
her. She smiles and rests her forehead against my chest. I stroke down
her back, finally letting lose of all my feelings for her. I notice
she has fallen asleep. She looks like an angel as I cover us both with
the sheets. I watch her sleep and whisper quietly, "I will always love
you, Princess Amelia wil Telsa Saillune."
