The Desert God's Lover
by ?
Description: A famous opera, particularly notable for the beauty of its climax aria. Amongst the Scarlet Dynasty, there is much debate on its merits, with some appreciating its beauty as a work of art, others condemning it as contrary to the teachings of the Immaculate Order.

An excerpt from the climax of the opera, where the maiden sings to the stars after her god parts ways with her, keeping the bargain struck with the desert village a year ago.
I never expected such a farewell would come.
If I had known I could never feel your touch again,
I would've hoped to be embraced just one last time.
It's long long good-bye...
It's long long good-bye...
Goodbye, goodbye, so many times,
I repeated the word to myself,
Waving my hands. It's only graceful, right?
Now, I long to be stronger.
I met you, the stars sparkled, and I was born.
I love you, therefore I am.
What good is waiting for a hopeless miracle?
Through my tear-filled vision, the planet's twinkle is gone...
I can't ever forget your warmth,
Your kindness, and your all-encompassing hands.
It's long long good-bye
Goodbye, goodbye, my beloved.
I came this far because you were here.
I wasn't alone, was I?
Now, I long for answers.
Catch a falling star that looks ablazed and light a fire,
I still want to love, and I still want to be loved.
What good is a lone freezing body to this world?
I long for you to finally drop your act...
What's wrong? Why can't I stop my tears from overflowing?
I met you, the stars sparkled, and I was born.
I love you, therefore I am.
What good is waiting for a hopeless miracle?
Through my tear-filled vision, the planet's twinkle is gone...
If we are reincarnated and can meet again some day,
Please find me and hold me tight,
And make sure you don't let go again.
I wish the planet would whisper to me that I'm not alone...”
