A Story

by Silver Wind

Please understand me
I am not what others think
Ah...
I am not used to be warm

Even my own parents hated me
My own mother tried to kill me!
No one in my village
Wanted to be close to me

I ran away from home
Only carrying a bag on my shoulder
But then I hesitated
I walked home again

No!
My house!
My family!
It's burning!

I...
I was not the cause of it
I was not!
... was I?

Perhaps my mother was right
She should have just killed me
I should have not prevented her
I should have not been alive!

I traveled alone
And then...
Someone tried to befriend me
A weird old woman

She protected me
She defended me from those thugs
She used the sword
With amazing skill

She broke down my wall
Garya...
My first real friend
I have her to thank

Then I left her
I wandered again
I became a warrior
I helped people

Afraid of my true nature
I went to a forest
The place where is said
Mezame would appear

I saved a girl
Who spoke in a strange language
Who fell down on her knees
Who threw herself on me

She cried
And cried
She was just a child
I could have not left her

She traveled with me
Slowly she started to speak
In my language
We began to understand each other

A warmth seems to emanate from her
A light that melts my wall of ice
A light that purifies all
A light that brings sanity

When they captured her
When they tried to sacrifice her
I was in a rage
I would not let them do so!

That moment I realized
I love her
I would die for her
I have to protect her

She realized that
She is mezame
Finally
And she cried

She asked me for forgiveness
And as I stared dumbfounded at her
She said that she would leave me
She wanted not to see me suffer

She ran away
I looked at my empty hands
My heart ached so
I would not let her go!

I stopped her
I told her how I love her
I went down on my knees
And I begged her not to go

She kneeled in front of me
She kissed me
And she whispered
That she would never leave me

Tears started to well in my eyes
I have known true love
I have found the one
That would love unconditionally

We have vowed to protect each other
We go our own way
To find our paths
To change our destinies

Goodbye my friends
Be discreet about us
Mezame and tenjoku
Are traveling together now

We would protect this world
