I feel your eyes
Burning deep into my soul.
Trying to burn a hole, perhaps?
Silly thing.
Don't you know I'm practically immortal?
Or perhaps the burn is of a different kind?
I've seen it before;
That small flicker of flame in your eyes.
Is it a flame of hatred, as one would assume?
Or a flame of passion?
Your golden eyes burn me.
Down to my very soul.
My soul that, though dark,
Holds its own flame.
Yes, sweet Ryu-Mazoku,
I hold a flame for you.
I, the sadistic, genocidal, unfeeling monster,
Have a burning flame of passion for the little dragon-turned-Mazoku.
Too bad it won't work out.
Think no longer of me;
But rather, of your short little life.
It won't last much longer.
That wry grin,
That constantly smilin face,
But I know what's behind those upturn'd eyes o' yours.
You feed off the pain of others;
But what 'bout your own?
With you, everythin's a secret,
But I know why.
We're the same, me and you,
Even if separated by so many years.
I hate you more then words can describe;
But I love you even more.
I feel your torment, deep inside,
Wishin' I could share it with you.
My soul, too, is dark;
Maybe more than yours.
But my flame shines bright, down deep.
The flame is lit, and it burns,
But to keep goin', it needs another flame;
One that shines bright in a dark soul.
Feed my flame.
I don't care 'bout Life or Death.
Jus' this flame that burns so passionately inside me.
Extinguish the flame o' hatred;
Jus' let the flame of passion burn bright.
My dear, dear Ryu
With eyes the colour of gold,
How foolish you are.
My own flame burns,
Longing to be with you.
But such things can not be.
I long to be with you,
To touch you,
To feel those tiny little fangs nip into my flesh,
To tease you
The way only I can.
But you, with the aqua hair
The golden eyes with slit pupils,
Can not possibly imagine even one night with me.
For my own sanity
And for your life
I fear.
Ok, Xelloss, enough with the pretty words. It's getting pretty old. Are we just gonna keep writin' these stupid poems, or actually do somethin' about this? Why the hell do you keep teasin' me like this? I just wanna be with you, so why can't I be? Hell, I'm tearin' at my hair here, goin' crazy over all this! So what if we ain't exactly the same age, and we never got along too good, what with me tryin' ta kill you and all...but hell, we can put that aside for a while, cant we? What good are pretty words when you cant even do want you wanna? I know your ways, my Namagomi...either stop fuckin' with my head, or get your ass over here and make good on your words.

Dear, sweet Valgarv, you're being silly again. Would I ever tease you or lead you astray? Don't answer that. I've already said we can't be together. If I could have it differently, I would. Just forget about all this; think only of your own life. And think of the Red Death that is after you. You don't know Lina-san like I do. I saw her defeat that bastard of yours, Garv, and the HellMaster. Don't you realize you're net even as strong as them? She is favoured by the Lord of Nightmares Herself; she's going to win. Think about that before you try to fight her.
- Xelloss
You damn Mazoku! I don't give a fuck about Lina Inverse! Its because she killed Garv-sama that I have to take revenge. I can't just let that bitch get away with that. Help me, Xelloss. Forget all the shit in the past, and join me. Fuck the Lord o' Nightmares! Fuck it all! If I ain't with you, I don't see any reason to even bother with all this shit. We don't need nothin' else. Just...just...fuck, I dunno. What happened to that flame you talked about? Did the fire die? Cause I know mine still burns like all hell.
- Valgarv
How many times must I tell you? Lina-san will kill you. Don't you understand? I can't allow myself to feel for you; why try when you wont be around much longer? Do you have any idea how much that would hurt me; to love you, then watch you be killed? Besides, Mazoku don't love. You should know that. Stop being so foolish. Anything between us can never happen, Just forget all of it...go on with you life as it is, for as long as you can. The Red Death will come...and even I can't stop her.
- Xelloss
P.S. Do forgive me for the little thing with the staff...I'm sure you understand why I had to do it. It'll heal quickly.
Ok, I get it now. Its Lina Inverse, ain't it? You fell for her, and don't wanna play with the little Ancient Dragon anymore. That's it isn't it? Or maybe that...Firia. Her kind killed my kind, you killed her kind, you two must belong together. You're both sick, sadistic bastards! Maybe it would be better if I did just forget about you. I don't wanna get hurt...not again. But hell, even writin' this hurts. Fuck, Xelloss, what are you doin' to me? Do you even gotta feed off my pain? This is all so fuckin' confusing, it ain't even funny. So make up your fuckin' mind; either me, or one of those damned women you seem to like so much. Go ahead, go to your Lina Inverse. But she ain't gonna last long.
- Valgarv
P.S. Its bullshit that Mazoku don't love, and you know it.
Firia -
Give this to Valterria when he is older. You'll know when. Take care of him.

Val-chan ~
Very soon after I started raising you, I got this letter addressed to you, simply
stating that I was to give it to you when you were old enough. Now that you're 18, I think its
time. I don't know what in L-sama's name Xelloss Metallium wants with you. Even though I still
can not forgive him what he did to my people, the least I can do is deliver his letter. I
don't see what harm there is in that. Just be careful; that Namagomi is dangerous.
~ Firia
Valterria -
Truly, I don't know how to start this. I assume your 'mother' has told you much about
me, none of it good. What she has said may be true, it may not be. Either way...it's a secret.
I don't plan on being around for the next...however long it takes for you to receive this.
Therefore, you will know nothing more than what Lizard-Lips unless you still have memories of
your past life. Before Lina Inverse killed him - you - Valgarv and I were...well, I'm not
quite sure. But it was something. He was a fool in thinking he could beat Lina-san. It is said
that Mazoku don't love. But as he said, you said, its bullshit. Mazoku feel just as accurately
as humans. We feed off of negative emotions, but that doesn't mean we can't fell positive
ones, too. Come to Wolf Pack Island. Bring Valgarv back to me.
- Xelloss Metallium
Firia-kaa-san
I'm sorry for leaving in the night like this, but I feel it is best. I never told you
this, but I've always had memories of my past self. Now that you have given me the letter from
Xelloss, I must go see him. I'm going to Wolf Pack Island; don't worry, I'll be fine. Thank
you for raising me so well these past 18 years. Take care for yourself. You're the closest
thing to a mother I've ever had, and I thank you and love you for that.
- Valter - Valgarv
A note found 10 years later on a fresh, unmarked grave on Wolf Pack Island:
I lied; we can't really love. But you were fun while you lasted. Sorry.
