Memories of you

What A Painful End...

It was only after my small plan had successfully harmed the hero of this world that I realized.

 That the uncomfortable feeling in my heart I had felt was love

I had fallen pitifully in love with them.

Yet at that moment I also realized I do not deserve their love, care, nor affection. For I have gained for too many sins and have passed the threshold of no return.

I can only embrace the destiny this world has given me and accomplish my role as a minor villain.

I turned away from the crippled buildings, left over rubble from the successful mission. Making my way as far as I could from the passed-out hero.

It was too dangerous to be near him. For I fear this facade I have built will crumble under his hatred filled gaze.

A few months went by, but that's all it took for me to be defeated. And here I am, lying in a pool of my own blood, cold and alone, as the hero walks away. Towards a celebration, to be held for my defeat.

How cheerful this is, I am released from my painful love while this world's hero becomes stronger. How perfect, isn't it?

I could feel my vision fade, coldness trickling in.

Yet all I could do was hum.

Hum the painful wound away.

Hum away to the afterlife, where years of torment in hell awaits.

I could see no more as the blindness took over. I could barely feel anything despite the numb buzz of my limbs, yet I could hear the hero talking from far away. Laughing, being joyful.

That bright laughter that was always accompanied by an equally bright smile, oh how I wish I could see that instead.

I can feel it, I've finally reached the limit. 

If I was allowed to have something, even if it was only once, I would like a hug from him.

 A warm hug, yes, that would be nice.

The hero walked towards his party as the soft sound of humming floated in his ear. It was quiet and airy. He turned around to see the one he killed gasping for air as they hummed a tune. Slowly becoming more silent until it stopped, a lone tear falling from her still eyes.

The wind softly blew as if accompanying another life. The world had fallen silent for a moment, all the animals quieted down, the background sounds of cheering and laughter blurred.

He watched with a heavy feeling as the girl's body became ice and lifeless, slowly shattering in the wind as the hot pool of blood became cold.

He stood there watching as the shattered pieces of ice disappeared in the wind.

Seeing him staring off, his crew went up to congratulate him on his victory. Making remarks on how great he was for defeating that wretched villain.

They seemed more happy about this than him, but it just didn't sit right with the hero. A celebration in the honor of killing the villain nor their cheery attitudes about the matter made him feel any better.

He ignored this weighted feeling, pushing it away as he joined his crew, laughing as they told jokes, drinking the night away. He didn't want to ruin their good mood.

Peace had made its way to the town now that the villain was gone, yet the hero always felt that something was missing. Like a gaping hole was left in his heart, yet he just couldn't understand.
