At the End of the Journey
Disclaimer: Saiyuki belongs to Kazuya Minekura and associates.
Probably has bits that won’t make much sense if you don’t know anything about the endings of Saiyuki, Reload & Gunlock. There are Gaiden references too.
The rising sun is a halo of backlighting. Juxtaposed with fairytale mist.
Old soldiers make eternal promises.
Golden eyes look to the sun.
Heretics fall and children and demons. Everything changes while a Goddess smiles.
Heaven and Earth tilt on their axis. Dreams and ambitions vanish in flame.
One to govern evolution, another to bring destruction. Long parted.
Falling into the same hands.
A heretic wanted to remake Earth and Heaven.
A child grasped at a forbidden heirloom.
A well-meaning missionary failed to save them.
At the end of the journey; Western sun setting.
Only a dead god walks away.
Hypothetically speaking, if people did need to die at the end of the entire series, my money’s on the God of Paperwork going first.
