Sweet King of Nothing

Summary:

So long as I remain here and wait to be called again, that is all I need. So long as these things remain true, everything will be alright.

Notes:

This entire fanfic got spawned out of a literal translation of the name of someone in my cohort it's funny how these things happen huh

Chapter Text

This is the Edge of Eternity, the place I have been given to watch over. In a place such as this, the impossible becomes possible. The immortal becomes killable. An anomaly that was only supposed to be given a single breath in the lifespan of humanity can become a timeless guardian.

This may be the edge, but it is still connected to Eternity. Time moves around this place. I see it in the drifting clouds high overhead. I know it by the things I no longer recall. There had been, once, something I enjoyed. Simple shapes on a skewer, soft between my teeth. I no longer remember their name nor their taste, but that is fine— I remember what is important to me.

My Master, hair like fire, and the place I briefly called my home. Chaldea, where Heroic Spirits gather in defense of humanity. Yes— I had been a part of that. That is the assignment I had been given, to right the course of human history. Master brought me to Chaldea, even though I was supposed to disappear. I no longer remember their name, but that is alright— they will always be my Master.

There was another, too. Someone I shared a room with. I do not remember whether it was hers or mine, but I remember her name. Maou Nobunaga, the Demon King. She was warm in a way the sky in this place could never be. Kind: that is the word I used to describe her. I no longer remember what she said when I called her that. All but the faintest outline of her smile is a mystery to me, but I do not mind it. I still remember, and that is enough.

My name is Majin, the Devil Saber. I remember this, too. Someone in Chaldea made me promise never to forget it, and so I will not. I will keep watch over this place until I am needed and called forth, as is my duty, and I will not forget my name, as is my promise.

So long as these things remain true, everything will be alright.
