Dear Sephiroth,

It's been over a year since we met. Do you remember that day?

I suppose that's overly sentimental. Coming up is a day that I won't soon forget. I don't know who else to talk to and I know writing to you won't help your current situation. You haven't told me anything about it, nor have I read about it but it isn't so hard to tell that something been bothering you. I won't say we've been friends all this time and I do use the phrase loosely, I know it isn't a word you prefer to describe our relationship but we are friends. I trust you.

You stand and fight, you try your best to help and stay strong. Even if I knew nothing else about you this would be enough. So I'm going to trust you with something.

I'm scared. I've never been more terrified. It isn't just the ghosts or what's been happening. It's not death or loss that scares me. It's my future. One year ago today I was stabbed through the heart. I remember the feeling perfectly, the surprise, then I remember the feeling of nothing at all. I didn't know that a crystal encased my body until I awoke.

In my world, I am the Goddess. I know I've told you this before but I don't think I've ever told you what that entails. I am to fight the darkness, using all the powers granted to me. I found the spirit of the hero in my world and I gifted him a powerful sword of light as well as other tools that were to be used to fight the threat that hoped to swallow the land. I was then to use my powers to hold off the darkness. I would go into something similar to sleep, my body would encase in crystal and I would stay that way until the hero woke me up. The feeling of that crystal surrounding me was the last thing I remember from my home world and it's very similar to the feeling of waking up in the hospital after I was killed here.

It wasn't your fault. I don't blame you but I'm scared that I might never wake up. That my destiny is to remain trapped for all eternity. I know the future isn't set in stone but I can't shake this feeling.

You don't have to respond. I wouldn't know what to say if I had received a letter like this and I know it's selfish for me to send this now. Thank you for reading this, for being my friend and for being the hero that I couldn't be.

Forever your friend,
~Zelda
