Dear Emily,
I've waited so long for your return. Even though you were forced to leave me by the hands of death's reaper. We swore on that fateful day, you would come back to me once the ritual was complete and we could rule our city with an iron fist like we used to. I miss your faint blue eyes and your skin still remains the fairest in our city; yet your heart never changed from its icy core.I still love you the same, no matter.
You told me not to approach you, but we could have been together sooner. I could have completed the ritual before you had a chance to turn against me. You instructed me to strictly keep my distance from your reincarnation so we could have our desires in the end. I was the one that listened to you when no one was there. I was the one that lifted you up when you were in the dark. I am the one that made you the icy queen that you are.
I know you wanted to be with me as much as I did. When we first met, you gazed my way in the streets as you made your daily round through the market. You made my heart stop instantly causing me to stare back nonstop. I couldn't control myself as you could feel me gazing right back at your beauty.The face you made at me was so sweet. Though most people would have thought you were disgusted by me, I knew you were reading my heart. I could sense that you knew what I was looking for. I followed you down the first alley you turned down until you were alone to get a closer look. You could sense me lurking. You walked up to the dead end, walls dark and damped from the sunlight not being able to reach between the tall buildings with laundry hanging from one building to the next one. You stood there in silence for a
few moments before placing a finger on the wall. As you rubbed your finger along the cold stone wall, you whispered into my heart, "it's okay to be different." From there, I vowed I would always be with you.
In the end, the life we built over 15 years and the city we created together became only a memory when you started to fade away, drifting to death. The disease, Dot To Dot, ate you from the inside out, I could do nothing as I watched you whither away mentally and physically until the day you closed your eyes for good. Since that fateful day, the city is in shambles as it awaits your soul's epic return.
You were always the love of my life, though at times you made it clear you didn't want it, but you warmed up to me and when things were starting to be perfect, it shattered..
Nevertheless, your king did the most incredible thing. I have prepared everything and finally got the last key to the ritual other than yourself. I've waited and watched from a distance like you instructed. Once you are home with me, we will rule again and this time, we will rule the whole world together.
Even though your death was hard to stop, you are here with me, I have protected your cold lifeless body, waiting for you.
We would spend our evenings eating dinner together and dancing, only this time your body won't drag across the wooden floors of our castle. My jokes would ring on in your ears and your quietness swallowed them whole. I can't wait to hear your voice again. The sweet light tone of your words filling the halls once again.
I waited for a long time for a sign to start preparing the ritual. One night, I felt a shift in the air, I followed the scent of you that once flooded this city. There you were, your reincarnation, it was only a matter of time before you were old enough to start the ritual.
When you were only a toddler, I kept a close eye on you. I kept you safe from the evil that surrounded you. I knew if I took you too soon that the ritual wouldn't work. So I waited.
Those days you came home crying, I sent you flowers and chocolates to make you feel better, yes those were from me and not that snort nose brat!
Now that you are reborn, 200 years later, we can be together in peace once and for all. I can run my fingers through the same long hair that shines like the pitch black night and beautiful pale blue eyes; your fair skin and I'm sure the same frozen heart as your last body. Thank you for coming back to me, thank you for coming to love me again, my dear. For allowing me to rule this world once more.
I didn't reveal myself sooner because you wouldn't have understood. I want you to understand my love for you, so I've sent you letters upon letters in hopes that you would write back, only to have you ripe them up and ignore me.
Now that you are older, I hope that you aren't as cold hearted as you once were. You have a more positive glow about you. That's why this time it will be different, I hope that it will… Without you, my whole world will crumble. That is why I ask you to be my queen, be my savior once more.
Love yours truly,
Incubus
