[i][color=purple]"Oh, so many choices..."[/color][/i] [color=gray]the black haired girl mutters to herself as she gazes into the mirror.[/color] [i][color=purple]"We could have breakfast in Brussels, lunch in Lisbon, or dinner in Dubai."[/color][/i] [color=gray]As she speaks, reality begins to contort and twist around her, but then slowly comes to a stop. The girl brings a slender hand up, and runs it through her hair as a look of understanding begins to dawn on her face.[/color] [i][color=purple]"Or perhaps..."[/color][/i]

[hr]
[color=purple]There was a time where Homura Akemi was just a normal girl.[/color] [color=gray]But that time is long since passed. Countless moons have risen and fallen since that fateful day. Truly, it must be years, and yet the girl shows no sign of age. Her body is just as youthful and graceful as it was when she signed that dreaded contract, and sold her soul away. But such deals are not without their benefits. The deal granted Homura quite the plethora of powers, as well as the strength to achieve what she desired most. However, what the contractors could never have foresaw was just how far she'd be willing to go for one simple thing.[/color]

[color=orange][i]"Love."[/i][/color]

[color=gray]For the ones whom Homura signed the contract with had no understanding of human emotions, for they lacked such feelings themselves. When the cold young girl turned against them, and challenged the fates themselves, they could only stand and ponder her actions as she struck them down with ferocity - letting out years of pent up anger and stress.

For Homura's powers were ones which granted her control over time. And to achieve what she wanted was no simple task. For every time she failed to protect the one she loved. For every time she felt that soft hand slip from her grasp. For every heart wrenching moment, where she had to release her love from the pain that entrapped her. Homura would have to experience it all again, and again, and again. What would once be a sweet first encounter with the girl she became infatuated with soon became a heart numbing experience she would have to relive over and over again. Every time she spoke her name, months of pent-up emotional baggage would hang on her words. And every time they would part ways, Homura would have to hold her chin up, and put on a brave face - for she would once again meet with...[/color]

[color=pink][i]"...Kaname Madoka~."[/i][/color]

[hr]
[color=purple]When determination, infatuation, and pure, unadulterated love[/color] [color=gray]come together, magical things can happen. Homura had suffered, bled, cried, and nearly died on many occasions. But no wound cut quite as deep as seeing the one she adored fall lifeless before her on countless occasions. But now such painful memories have grown distant and hazy, lost to a time before our own. For all of Homura's magic and strength was not enough to sate the girl's appetite, her desire, her lust to be with the one she loved. For even after the pain had finally subsided, and the one she had been chasing after all this time had finally been relieved of her fate - she was gone. After all this time, all the years that had gone by, Homura was left alone, with only a phantom of the past to keep her company. Anyone else may have given up at this point. But Homura wasn't so easy to keep down. So she did something insane, she did something absolutely radical.[/color]

[color=orange]She reached out, and touched the one she loved.[/color]

[color=gray]And what can one say about the girl who challenged fate twice, and defeated it? The girl who, no matter how many times she fell, would always get right back up. Her determination is at the very least, admirable, if not enviable. Her strength knows no bounds. And now, from the moment she reached out and grabbed hold of the one she had fought to defend all this time and onward, Homura has taken on a new form. With power overwhelming, one might call her a devil. With such beauty and grace, some might compare her to an angel. But Homura is neither.[/color]

[color=pink]For her love, she is a Goddess.[/color]

[hr]
[color=purple]And now Homura finds herself in a unique position.[/color] [color=gray]With power not only over time, but also now space itself, the possibilities for her are endless. But don't be so quick to assume that the raven haired girl has lost sight of herself amongst all this turmoil. In her mind, one thought remains. And it's always of that pink haired girl she fell for all those years ago. In time long past, she bled, and cried, and failed time and time again to protect her. But now, Homura can rest easy, knowing that nothing shall ever hurt her precious love again.

And so they have breakfast in Brussels, lunch in Lisbon, dinner in Dubai, and more. Guiding her love around the world, always with a wry smile on her face. But occasionally, Homura grows tired of traveling the same world again and again, and so she turns her powers towards creating new ones. Bringing forth new experiences for her and her love to share. The dark energies that surround her allowing her to play the part of puppet master in these new worlds.[/color]

[color=purple]In the eyes of those whom she vanquished, she's a demon.[/color]

[color=orange]In the eyes of those whom she protected, she's an angel.[/color]

[color=pink]But for Homura, all she cares about is the opinion of one Kaname Madoka.[/color]

Do you think that your family and friends are important to you?"[/sub][/color][color=orange] [sub]♦[/sub] [/color][color=purple][sub]"If they are, then you should never think of changing yourself. Otherwise, you will lose everything that is precious to you."[/sub][/color] [color=orange][sub]♦[/sub][/color] [/i][/center]
