Confusing What is Real - Final

Description

Fear is how I fall,
Confusing what is real,

Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me,
Distracting, reacting,
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection,
It’s haunting,
How I can’t seem,
To find myself again ...

"Crawling"
Linkin Park

When Yume was a child, a young Prince of Byeros, he had a tutor. This tutor was a great wizard from a neighboring kingdom who had come to Byeros after hearing of the marvelous talent of the young prince ... or so he said; however, Cestus came from an ancient kingdom whose memory was rooted in the darkness of hatred and death. He did not come to Byeros to teach the young prince, but to subvert him.

Yume hasn't got a lot of hope left, in this picture. He knows something is wrong, but he doesn't know what it is. The only hope he has is foreshadowed in the sunlight sweeping down upon his face. Somewhere, nearby, there is a way out. He just has to find it.

Detail-wise, I love the subtlety of the tear on yume's cheek, and the way the light makes his teary eye seem to glow. Story-wise, I can only say, that I hope Cestus gets what's coming to him! (good job ^_^)
