Hours pass, Colors fade

[Sailor Ryu]

"All I know has slowed to a crawl.
How could I have been so wrong?
A life of feeling as though I'd been forsook.
And yet... I were the one who'd forgotten."

"How, now, does everything feel so different?
How is it that I could have overlooked such a simple thing?"

"It matters not now.
For this star burns within me.
Finally, after so long;
I can feel your warmth."

"We've an accord now.
I promised, to protect them.
No monster nor man shall hold them,
Nor see them."

"None shall hold the knowledge within.
For none are worthy."

"So much has changed with this.
A spark of life in an otherwise dead visage of a woman.
And with that spark, perhaps I too shall change."

"No longer shall my world grow colorless and stagnant.
For I am a catalyst of its change.
I will not allow it all to freeze."

"Mine world will be beautiful;
It will be bright, and full of color.
Mine world will be one flooded with change, and progress."

"One & twelve.
Ten to go."

"I will find them.
I will make certain.
Their secrets will be used for their original intent."

"No greed, nor malice will ever find their hands on something so beautiful."
"Just as you willed it."

"The stars alone will guide my hand.

My walk through time itself.

The light of the eternal

And nothing more."
