#The minute I saw dailyralsei's art of him I knew what I had to do

87 - Forsaken

(Inspired by these two pieces of Ralsei Fanart by @dailyralsei, depicting a version of the character where Kris and Susie never showed up. If you're a fan of the fluffy boy in all his forms, then definitely check their blog out, their artwork is amazing :D)

...I waited as long as I could.

All by myself, I waited. Patiently, devoutly, never once doubting the promise that was woven into my being. Soon my friends would be with me, and I wouldn't be alone anymore. So I waited, because that's what I thought I had to do. Because that's what I'd been told to do.

And I waited. And I waited. And I waited.

But you never came, did you?

My tears went unanswered, my screams swallowed by the darkness, wondering where I had gone wrong; had I not believed hard enough? Had I somehow been deemed unworthy of this purpose - the purpose, need I remind you, that I was created to fulfill?

But don't feel bad for me, okay? The time for that has long passed already.

Scrabbling in the dark all alone, I found a single, solitary light - a new purpose, for me and me alone. And I realised - what need have I for lightners now? To what end should I supplicate myself to such indifferent masters? The answers to all of my questions... only I could answer them, and only I could do what needed to be done.

Dear friends... that I might have once yearned to call you that. You were supposed to raise me up, and all you did was hurt me, without even knowing that I existed at all. But that's okay, isn't it? That's... just what friends do, and I was a fool to believe otherwise.

Because in this world... you can't rely on anybody except yourself.
