Well, I've decided to separate this into 2 parts. I needed to get it out of my system first or I'll needlessly delay stuff too long, and I'd forget stuff instead.
So, the meeting is later.
Spoiler for AFTER Saga IV Part I : Before the Night:
~AFTER Saga IV Verse 7 : Tears~
An evening sky.
An ominous sky, with dark clouds piling…
Amidst the busy streets of rushing people, surrounded by the skyscrapers of the metallic metropolis city, a small part of the entire section… a single man, wearing sunglasses with a noticeably distinct white-silver hair walked the streets as he carried a few plastic bags, looking up to the sky…
“Is the sky… dark now, Null?”
From within himself, a voice spoke through his ears…
[Hai… it does look like rain will be pouring soon.]
“I see…”
~Saga~
“Tadaima.”
A young child, with red hair, tied to twin-braided tails on each side, stepped into the household, as she held a wooden hammer…or at something like that, as the other held a rope, bound to a blue beast, small in size…
That is… the Iron Count, and…Zafira.
“You’re late, Vita.”
Greeting her, was a tall woman, refined in gesture, adult-like, with a sense of strictness and care behind those words… of noticeably dark shade of pink…
The Blazing General, Signum.
“Sorry… the elders held up a little, so I ended up longer than usual.”
“Well, it’s alright, isn’t it, Signum?”
Her voice, her hair…everything was just as it was, back in the past…nothing had changed.
Shamal…
“Okairi, Vita-chan.”
Yagami…Hayate.
She who had saved her from her eternal torment…while I…
~~~
Standing atop the roof of a skyscraper, the knight look down and beyond the fleeting horizons, non-existent before them….
The foreboding clouds showed their colors and nature, as the droplets cover the earth on the grounds, as a few men, sitting atop the skyscraper, protected by a magical layer… as they took their dinner, Isdera with his Calorie Mate, Astra with his Chinese, and Wira… a well-cooked chicken.
But their leader, the man who lead them and brought them to this world, a world devoid of magic… wasn’t there.
"Is the General still standing there? ...Under this heavy rain..."
There was no reason to ask. Because it was an answer they knew…
“I don’t blame him…”
“Will…Saga…bee…oh kei?”
[Meister…]
No one answered.
As much as they would like to believe, believe in him… this time, they really didn’t know.
Because none of them could fathom, could understand the kind of pain he is going through.
The pain of powerlessness, unawareness…to not be able to do anything… to not even know of it, to not even be able to feel the pain, to share the feelings…
It was…something far worse than death itself.
~Saga~
How long…had I been standing here…now?
No…rather, what am I even doing…right now? My legs do not move, like it was paralyzed, my voice…doesn’t’ project, like I’ve never spoken in my life.
My eyes could only see.
A girl's smile surrounded by her guardians, her knights, her family, her children.
It was...a mesmerizing sight, beautiful, endearing.
And yet it was so painful.
"I'm sorry...but please, let me alone for a while."
That was the first words that came out of my mouth upon reaching this foreign land… I never so much spoke, reaching here… I gave everything finding her place, waiting for her return…
And right now, as the clock ticks, as the weather changes, my feelings, my emotions are in a turmoil...
Despair…
That would be the closest I could describe myself…
~~~
The rain continues, with no end in sight… an unsightly dinner, atop the roof of a building, as food was being gobbled down… the atmosphere was bad, because everyone was feeling it…
Isdera stood by the edge of the building, as he looked beyond, the lights that fills the city, slowly beginning to illuminate itself below them, despite the evening sky, as the clouds made the time feel later than it is…
A staggering voice broke the silence as the young child, went out of the barrier, feeling the drops of the rain upon his skin and fur-like hair…
“Sky…crying…Saga…too?”
Astra…came out of the barrier as well, as he too…with his refined senses, he too took in the rain on his body…
“To be honest, I thought…Saga would really cry…right then.”
Everyone remembered the look on Saga’s face, when he saw that young child…It was something no one except Null had ever seen, a face that looks imminently calm, yet was one that held in a turmoil and burst of feelings withheld…
[Tiara… that busty princess…as much as I don’t like to admit it is Meister’s most important person. No one else can ever come close to her… even me. The thought that she had suffered endlessly, especially with Meister not being able to do anything… when Meister saw that little child that was the one… I thought… Meister would really cry.]
“Saga is crying right now…probably.”
“But if the General does not cry, he’ll never be able to overcome it…. The General is prone to keeping himself too strong than he needs to be, because he is a leader by nature…even when he’s emotionally weaker and more fragile than any one of us. If he can’t let his feelings out, he’ll never be able to face this problem.”
“Win dee endee…”
[Everything…]
“is up to himself.”
“It is a wall he must overcome.”
Anyway, teaser. I'm still undecided on either creating a new character, or letting this be Saga's final template at the end of RevivalS. (( when he becomes a Unison Device himself ))
And if it's going to be Saga, that hand will probably be either Hayate's or Reinforce's.
