Save Me, Please

I'm scared....and lost. Leo never came back. We need him. He held us all together. Leo...I need you. Please help me.

It had been a month after Angel was beaten and forced to surrender her keys. And it had been years since I last saw Leo. He's only gone because of me. When I thought about it, I couldn't help but cry. I hope he's okay. Maybe he found a nice master. As long as he's okay, I know we all have hope.

Xael is a.... Oh, how do I say it without being rude...? She's a very powerful wizard. And, well, demanding I guess. But she at least knew when we've reached our limit. She wouldn't want to lose her spirits so she always made sure we were well rested. But, she gets scary if you ever make a mistake.

You see, Celestial Magic wasn't the only kind of magic she had. She also has the power to manipulate her spirits. She had never used it on me, not yet at least, but Scorpio, he says that he couldn't control a single thing he said or did. He just had to watch himself. He acted different. He was acting as if, I'm not sure, like his whole personality switched. I was scared honestly.

That's why I'm was always scared when she calls on me. I'm scared if I don't measure up to her standards, she'll manipulate me. And I won't be able to stop myself from hurting someone. I don't want to hurt anyone and I don't want anyone to get hurt. But as a Celestial Spirit, it's my job to protect my master. Even if they don't always deserve it.

We were going on a mission. That always made me nervous. What if she calls on me. What if she manipulates me. Or worse, what if she does that to one of my friends. I don't want them getting hurt. Without them, I'd be alone. I don't want that. I don't want to feel so alone anymore.

Well... It wasn't really a mission. Our guild... Is a dark guild. I don't want to be part of this guild but... I can't just refuse a master. She won me fair and square. She owns me now. Leo would've never let this happen...

We had to find this weapon, Nirvana. It's said to be very... Very powerful. I'm not going to be happy if we end up finding it... Supposedly, if it fell into the wrong hands, Earthland itself could be in danger.

We had set off. Apparently we had encountered another band of guilds. Some official guilds had come together to try and stop what we had come to this place to do. If Ma'am Xeal gets in a fight. It could be bad news for my friends and myself. Gemi and Mini don't seem upset about it. Apparently they are very afraid of Miss. She's pretty terrifying to me.

Things had seemed quiet for a while. I was torn. I thought to myself, 'We could get this done without having to fight but... This could also be a very bad thing.' That's when it all took a turn. I don't know if it was for the better... Or the worse. But, indeed, it was some sort of turn.

I had been called upon. But, the first sight I saw when I fully showed up... That is what the hardest part about this was. A fight against a fellow spirit. Leo. My Leo. The one I prayed to the celestial spirit king. His master seemed to know about what had happened in his past. I feel so bad for him... It was my fault he had protested. Leo. I'm so sorry.

"No. I can't let you fight against your friend. Not when you're only meeting up now, like this." His master pulled out his key, but he stopped her. He knew what had to be done. He was prepared. But... I can't fight Leo. Anyone but... But him.
