Knighthood ==== Pandora Hearts

“You like this story, the “Holy Knight”?”

“Yes, very much”

“What do you think about the servant of the holy knight?”

“Edgar? I like him the most”

“I hate that guy the most”

Edgar, knight, servant of the Holy Knight, died in the process of protecting his master. Elliot slammed his volume of “Holy Knight” shut, resulted in a loud sound that made Leo quirked his eyes in annoyance, but he resumed reading anyway. When Elliot was angry of something, let him deal with it himself.

“Sacrificing yourself and then wishing your loved one to have happiness, isn’t it selfish and stupid?” Elliot thought angrily “Throwing yourself away without considering other’s opinion, is that even considered as a knight’s quality?”

Like many kids that read the series, Elliot liked the character, well, used to like Edgar a lot. “But why, why did he do that? He should be trying to figure out the way to protect both his master and himself? Why?”

Why do people keep hurting themselves and their loved ones like this, why should they keep on carrying this heavy burden?

Like that Oz boy.

Why not let it go?

Elliot didn’t know, and he wouldn’t bother himself overthinking. He would just continue to live by his own philosophies, be the ideal knight he always dreamed about. With this jet black sword, he would protect himself and his friends, his families from harm, ensure their happiness and keep away the sorrow.

This knighthood of his, Elliot found no false.

Or so he thought…

Yearning ==== Pandora Hearts

“In the end, what exactly do you yearn for?”

Oz Vessalius was a happy child; he was the heir of the Duke house Vessalius, lived his life in comfort and luxury. He had a cute, cuddling younger sister, a humorous, loving uncle that posed as his parents. His best friend, his loyal servant. was always at his side no matter what happened. He had access to everything that he liked, yet he found himself yearning, for what he did not even know.

Oz knew what he wanted. He wanted to protect his family, he wanted to help Alice recoverd her memory, he wanted to befriend Elliot Nightray and Leo, he wanted to stop the Baskervilles from repeating the Sablier Tragedy. He fought, he threw his life away for his beliefs, and he kept on yearning.

“Not enough. This is not enough?”

What is not enough?

Hazy feelings, dizzy sights, what was his mind trying to tell him anyway?

And the next time Jack resurfaced, he remembered.

“Do you really think this body belongs to you, Oz-kun?”

“I’m… Oz, the B-Rabbit”

The desire to make friends, the urge to protect his loved ones, the unconditional affection for Alice, the yearning to be with her, as an equal human being.

So that he could become her real friend, to ease her sadness, to dry her tears and to nurture her happiness.

So that she wouln’t have to be sad, to cry again.

In the end, he was just a moving plush rabbit that yearned to become human.

Hollow ==== Harry Potter

Throughout his first seventeen years of life, Harry Potter had seen many hollow things.

The emptiness, lack of honesty in his aunt and uncle’s words when they complimented their bussiness partners or some friends and neighbors.

“Your lawn is so nice! Pray tell me how you take care of it”

“It’s a pleasure meeting you and your family, Mr/Mrs (insert the name here) I hope that we can work together sometime in the future”

The Dursleys were cold and selfish, they only did things that benefited them and could easily discarded ones that was of no more use. Not only their words but their hearts were also hollow.

The Great War had affected people far worse than he had once thought. The everlasting tension in Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, the hushed voices echoing accross the small, unlit corridors, the death that hovered above everyone’s head; but nothing can impressed him as much as the hollow figure of his archrival, Draco Malfoy. Ever since their sixth year, Malfoy had changed, a lot; from a pompous, spoiled brat of a wealthy family to a quiet, strained and dark person. Harry never had the pleasure of seeing ferret boy’s worst state, mind you; however, he had printed the haunted look of his dull, empty silver orbs into his mind. Eyes of a desperate man that had no place to run and no way to escape.

“We have choices, but what about people that have none?”

Godric’s Hollow, the valley that was surrounded by high, steep wall of mountainous rock, the valley that resembled a hollow in the ground; there located his family house. Burned and kept in bad shape as no one dared to step into the place; maybe they were scared of the Dark Lord’s lurking shadow? “He is dead now, for real” though Harry as he stepped into the terrace. This hollow place of his house, this hole in his heart; he would definately fill these gaps with love and happiness.

After a war, there always are wounds to be healed and hollows to be filled.
