I wake up with my surroundings all black
And take a look underneath
Only to see myself siting on cherry blossom leaves
in front of me is a white glowing frame
Is it a ghost? No a dame
She was holding a parasol
Her back to me
Wearing a white kimono
Siting against another cherry blossom tree?
Her short hair moving quite slowly
Hello, I said and she snaps her head to look at me
“Hello,” she whispers in a low soft tune
And offers a satsuma?
Who are you? I ask quite swoon
Me? My name is Yuma
She beckons me to come to her
Hesitatingly I go
I sit next to her just to notice
She matches an old story I know
From your expression I assume you know me?
Are you one of the four?
Yes indeed quite funnily tho
I hate them all
Why so? I asked
"4 shall stand, all shall fall."
I was shocked,”does this mean the story is true?”
“Yes”, she replied suddenly out of the blue
“Now tell me do you know how the ending goes?”
“Yes, actually everyone knows”
“Control was sent to the East, where she cannot feast,Jealousy was sent to the bottom of the sea, part of a forgotten legacy.” She started
"Rage was trapped in His strongest cage, seething with wrath and counting her days,Rebirth was sent deep in the Earth and watching the world in reverse” I completed
Then it struck me, I was watching the world in reverse with her
the world bordered by death cup
I looked at her and she looked at me
“For what is a life but a dream? Wake up.”
She said it in such a pity way
That I almost fell for it
But no doubt the poor beast was alone
As in between 2 different worlds she was split
She loved the 3 but hated them too
They were her family but her enemy too
She didn’t want to follow what they evil god has said
But if she didn’t the 3 would end up dead
I saw the tears glistening out
From her hidden eye
She was mad she never had a choice
And so all she could do was sit and cry
Poor her, I thought and
Then I realised what she was asking from me
I was so overcome with pity that
I hugged her sympathetically
But is this real or is this a trick?
Oh come on have I learned nothing from the other 3
This is all fake, this is all a mimic
I will definetly get stabbed in the back so I better tread carefully
Do you know about it?
The evil god?
She chuckle a little bit
And gave a sly little nod.
