Очи алый - Scarlet eyes
”A rainbow creek……”
In the freezing night, there was a hazy mist.
On a snow-covered balcony in an old castle, there was a child.
The young girl stared up at the full silver moon.
”A lake of dreams……”
She was dressed in a worn-out, faded crimson coat one size too big.
She had limbs slender enough to snap like a twig.
She had translucent white skin like that of porcelain.
She had asymmetric yet lovable fangs like a fox's.
”Marsh of death……”
Spinning slowly she sung an ancient song, line-by-line.
”Stormy ocean……”
Her jet black hair fluttered in the wind, exposing her pointed ears.
”Sea of steam……”
The girl unfastened a small jewel necklace from around her neck and held it up towards the moon.
Amongst the transparent crystals, a spotless pale light shone.
The moon came into view, and the blue and green aurora emerged.
Her light pink eyes took on a deep crimson color.
”……My dreams……”
The night wind whispered through and disappeared into a burnt-down forest.
She joined her hands and fixed her gaze upon the moon above. She said a transient prayer, quietly and to herself.
