His existence in your life was ethereal. Fleeting. Sublime. He was nothing special – no doubt just a peasant man travelling around the world to clear his thoughts and find his purpose in life – but he’d managed to catch your eye, as impossible as it sounded.

He was – disregarding status and power – beautiful. His hair was a lovely shade of dark-blue and his eyes were fascinatingly of mismatched color. His voice, although you’d only ever heard it once, was absolutely divine to hear.

You were a noble. A princess of a faraway kingdom that’s only ever known peace and prosperity. But then came a time when power-hungry conquerors sought to disrupt this peace and claim your kingdom for their own.

It was then that you were forced to fight. Ever since you were young, you’d always hated bloodshed, but still you took your sword from its hilt and trained day and night, honing your skills to be used in war. You journeyed far beyond the reaches of your homeland to venture into the mysterious depths of Dungeons, only to return with gold and power beyond belief to even the most elite of knights in your country.

You were in guise of a rich yet weak and faint-hearted noble who was being escorted to Sindria, where you would make an alliance with the renowned King Sinbad and potentially save your kingdom from its downfall. Of course, this was all for security measures, as your father had already lost two of your siblings and did not intend to lose another one of his children again. And so you humored him, because you knew that, despite him being a successful king to a country famed and talked about, he was simply a father worrying for his children and – by extension – grieving for his lost heirs.

You were rather surprised when he’d saved you. You learned that, just like you, he was in control of a Djinn – Zagan of the 61st Dungeon. He was undeniably strong (but not as strong as you were), and you’d taken a liking to him after he introduced himself as Hakuryuu, and nothing more.

You knew you’d heard that name before. Where was the question. Was he famous? Rich? Elite? A noble in disguise of a peasant?

You would not learn until months later.

He was now Hakuryuu Ren, the fourth Emperor of Kou. When he stood before you, he was no longer the humble, kind person who saved you from a carriage accident. He was a king. A sovereign. You were merely a princess of a crumbling kingdom in his eyes. Nothing more.

You knew, then, by the look in his eyes, that he’d fallen into depravity. He was no longer pure. You didn’t know him well enough to know how he turned out like this, but you still grieved. He had been beautiful. Celestial. Comely. But now, he was stained by the darkness of evil and hopelessness.

You tried to save him. You tried to reason with him that this was not the path he was supposed to take, that there were people out there who were waiting for him to come around and people who cared about him well enough to be heartbroken should they have known about his state. But he would not listen. He was far too gone to consider coming back.

He pushed you away. He hated the world, only living for revenge against his dead brothers and broken family. He was not to be reasoned with.

He was no longer the beautiful man who had been your savior. He was no longer the man with the smooth voice that sent your mind into oblivion. He was no longer the angel who stayed with you for just a few more days to make sure you were recovering from your injuries.

He’d changed.

You had no feelings for this man anymore.
I've been writing some very depressing stories as of late.

WHAT THE FRIGGIN HELL IS WRONG WITH ME


Okay, so I had really bad writer's block just about a week ago, but now, all of that has changed DRASTICALLY. I mean, so I'm just all like "I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL TO WRITE," at one point and then I'm enlisting in a writing marathon the next.

Something is wrong with my brain.

But despite all this, please comment. I don't care if you don't favorite it but do comment because it gets pretty damn lonely in this old dingy room of mine.

Anyway, AUF WIEDERSEHEN TO YOU ALL.
