Epilogue
I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could
live for no one else
But now through all the hurt & pain
It's time for me to respect
the ones you love
mean more than anything
The
rain had fallen down hard in the cemetery, as Indigo stood there, gray eyes as
cold as they usually were had it been a few months ago. She looked at the two
newly dug graves of Calli and Saori, or Callisto and Ganymede. She looked at
the marble gravestones, and seemed to stare at them with contempt.
Thebe,
Metis, and Adraeseta
had gone as soon as they came, simply explaining that there were more senshi
alive, but no one was sure of exactly where they were. It didn’t matter to
Indigo, not right now. Right now she just knew that she was a horrible leader,
and she had even let herself be murdered at the hands of a demon that had been
within the senshi she served all this time. How could she be the leader of so
many senshi if she couldn’t even keep two alive?
Ah, yes. The foolish senshi had let Jupiter-sama suffer.
She had pushed Shinji’s bound off of her, when it could had possibly been
Makoto’s last hope, and she had been stupid as to let her head be cut off in
such a crucial moment. Indigo placed her hand to her neck, feeling the scar
still there, though it was a slight indent. She slumped her shoulders, and
stared at the grave solemnly.
So with sadness in my heart
I feel the best thing I could do
is end it all
and leave forever
what's done is done it feels so bad
what once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again, my world is ending
“I
failed you both as your leader,” She whispered, “But it’ll never happen again,
I swear upon the grave that waits for me.”
Io
kneeled down to the graves, and bowed her head, “I’m sorry.”
Had
there been no rain, perhaps the graves would had been moist, still, but instead
of being water logged with rain, they’d be logged with Io’s tears, and all that
could be heard aside from the rain slamming itself against the marble stones
was a scream. A scream of defeat, sorrow, anguish, fear, and hate.
I wish that I could turn back
time
’Cause now the guilt is all mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love & pride
because of that, it's killing me inside
She had
failed. She failed as a leader, as a senshi, and as a person. There was no
redemption.
Indigo
had lost. She had lost a fight and lost the lives of two senshi. She had lost
her hope, her self-respect.
She had
lost everything.
