Anna's pet part 2

Anna sits upon the throne in a war like outfit. a strong looking man kneeling in front of her. the pressure coming off this man is immense almost like the king of falmuth.

[???] Lady Anna I beg you to reconsider the actions your taking. Not everyone deserves a death sentence for merely speaking their mind

Anna clicks her fingers chains rattling behind the general. the general merely stays kneeling.

"With all due respect, your majesty, he is no match for me without his mind. I have allowed this to continue out of respect for your bloodline.However, a coup wasn't the way to attain the throne."

Anna smiles. "I wouldn't be so sure General want to try?"

he shakes his head standing. "I will take my leave your highness." He walks out of the room.

A shadow appears behind Anna, whispering into her ear. Anna's smile fades. "What, why would that woman come here? Prepare for battle, everyone."

Anna walks by Reiji, kicking him into the ground. "FILTHY dog, this is all your fault!!!"

She continues kicking him until she is panting. Reiji hasn't suffered any injury from her assault. Anna smirks grabbing a bar hitting reiji. this has become her favorite past time.

The maids look on Anna with disgust as they gossip amongst themselves.

[Maid 1] Poor man not only is he magically bound to miss Anna. He is being abused day in and out by her. She was such a good girl when she was younger too.

[maid 2] She was studious and devout to the code and honor of a knight. When she returned with that man she had changed.

[Head maid] ENOUGH!!! ladies get back to work.

The head maid looks at Reiji shedding a tear for him. "I'm sorry I cannot be of more service to you young master. I am but a humble human servant. As the maid turns a black dragon claw is shown to be tattooed on her neck. she lifts her frilled neckline to cover it.

[In Reiji's subconcious]

How long has it been. how long have I been floating in this abyss no light no hope. why must I suffer so much. why can I not protect anything. a light appears near his floating body.

[???] Are you going to give up?

"Give up? what more is there to give? I have tried and no matter how strong I get I still cannot protect those I care for.

[???] That isn't true you know that.

the figure shrouded in light pulls up window after window of his deeds.

[???] You snuffed out azusa saving this election in the village. saving the princess of the falmuth kingdom.

A video comes up showing his fights to protect falmuth. then another when he saved Rosalie. at this he turns away shedding a tear.

The light turns to the video now playing.

[???] This is what gives your heart pause?

Reiji doesn't respond to the question just stops floating landing on an invisible surface withing his mind.

The light pushes the screen in front of him. "are you sure you have lost what you sought?"

"Look closer at her"

Reiji turns his head to not see that scene again. the moment he lost her was the moment he lost it all. The light stomps it's foot.

[???] You haven't lost anything moron. geez I thought you were dense on earth.

The figure forms as Reiji's eyes open wide.

"serena?"

The form solidifies more. "No you dummy."

[???] I am nothing but a memory of the past and of the future. I am the reason for your suffering.

Reiji's eyes open wide looking towards the figure." R-Rosalie?"

The form completes to that of Rosalie just a bit older. "Yes" Her wings spread out and feathers of light start falling. is this how you see me? an angel in your mind?

Reiji smirks then laughs. I don't deserve Amy of this. I failed you. I failed everyone.

"I KILLED ALL THOSE INNOCENTS."

The vision of Rosalie walks forth slapping him . You aren't responsible for everyone else. people are responsible for their own choices. therion, and the so-called heroes. you and me, everyone.

Stop trying to shoulder the world and be the one that helps it. atlas didn't truly to shoulder the world alone, you know. you have friends you have me. you have the whole kingdom of falmuth. I am but a fragment of your memories of Rosalie. You are strong, Reiji hashimiya, stronger than anyone. if anyone can save us from the coming destruction, it's you. the real me may not be aware, but this me shares your memories."

A second light appears the smiling face of the king of falmuth can be seen. then another appears with the face of miya. then another with the face of Arianna. then Lilith, them continuing to everyone reiji has saved.

Reiji smiles. "I understand." He covers his face, then smiles. "I have been trying to protect everything. I ended up neglecting it instead."
