In the Garden

"As she walked through the gardens out behind the complex the Director had for the four Signers and Rua, words spun through her mind.

Goodwin's words on the destiny of the Signers, her parents words on accepting her back... as a family they had been so long ago, Yuusei's words on friendship...

For the first time since she could remember, she had a choice to be something other than the so called Black Rose Witch. She could use the powers that she had feared for so long for something other than mindless destruction and horrible pain...

But for that she would have to face Mysty and her past.

Stopping before one of the blooms, she reached out an gently touched the delicate petals before her. A small smile crossed her face as she made her choice right then amist the roses

Aki would protect this hope she had of a better future, and those who had come to care for her, dispite all she had been.

It was then she knew that she would become what she had always been destined to become."

Almost remniscent of 'The Rose Within the Garden' pic I submitted all those weeks ago, eh?

Although I have to say I kinda like this one as it instantly reminded me of the scene in episode 43 where we see Aki strolling through the gardens I have to say it's gotta be one of my favorite scenes in that episode (besides seeing Jack and Yusei Falcon Punch-ing each other of course ).
