[On Third Moon’s Eve, while the whole of Elaris celebrated the Moon’s Eve Feast, Cael remained in the quiet corner of the White Cave near the Cherry Field, haunted by memories of joy that once felt endless, now hopeless]




cherry blossoms all faded
as i told you goodbye
felt like falling into the abyss
and frozen in time
the darkest of nights
and unstarry black sky
all the stars blinked out
the day i was left behind
but still
i stare at the abyss
try to forget that i miss you
the regret will only grow
the darkness keeps seeping through
but maybe if i tried enough
maybe i could make believe
that this black is what's meant for me
in this darkness i'm lost but free

(Musical Interlude)

Flores cerasi omnes evanuerunt
Dum tibi valedixi
Quasi in abyssum cadere sentiebam
Et in tempore rigerem
Nocte obscurissima
Et caelum nigrum sine stellis
Omnes stellae exstinctae sunt
Die quo relicta sum
Sed tamen
Abyssum intueor
Conor oblivisci me te desiderare
Paenitentia tantum crescet
Tenebrae per me penetrant
Sed fortasse si satis conarer
Fortasse simulare possem
Hoc nigrum mihi destinatum esse
In his tenebris perditus sed liber sum
