Entirely hand-crafted fanfiction, a story of redemption, original character, multiple secret identities, lots of effort to avoid going out of character. New writer, new book, feedback welcome.
In the age of embers, there is only death. Life has no end, existence leaves no trace.
"You ask my name? ...It was a name bestowed by fate, the name of my homeland. I have remembered it countless times in my dreams..."
The line of the pen coils around once more, and the scroll of life unfolds here. Beneath that ancient existence, I am a seeker pursuing the ultimate, a follower obeying the coils of fate.
I am the one who bears fate, a sinner against destiny.
A devotee of fate, pursuing the ultimate in the boundless heavens. Even with golden threads, symbols of destruction, wound around my soul, I will accept them gladly.
One day, He delivered His command, changing my appearance, granting me a new surname, and erasing my memories.
And I merely embraced Him in silence.
Coming to this mortal world, He commanded me to bring redemption. But that redemption was not for the world. It was for the one chosen by fate.
And so...
"Xi... a girl's smile is precious."
"This final melody on the flute, I play only for you. May you remember me in the days without me, and may I remember you in the world without you."
"The waves keep watch here. Do they feel lonely...? I don't know. But your vigil... should come to an end."
Love is the most vicious curse in this world. My love demands nothing in return, yet cuts deeper than any price. What I offer is love, and a nail that can never be repaid.
I have long been nothing but an empty shell. How could I still have a heart capable of feeling love?
So...
Please let me once more imagine that I can touch the dream just beyond my reach.
"The writing is excellent and I have worked hard on it. If I keep keeping this pace and quality and keep updating it, it will be a masterpiece. But I still hope to portray more of the character's versatility."
