Welcome, original Yu-Gi-Oh fans to my first Roseshipping fic. This is probably the first romantic tragedy fic I've ever done and I thought who better to do than Max Pegasus and his beloved lost Cecelia? This will follow the story of how they met, fell madly in love, got married and how she tragically died.

Maximilian Julius Pegasus stared at the grave marker, a pathetic symbol marking the place where one so beautiful lay in eternal slumber in this world. Other men build monuments for their lost loves. Others have killed for the women they love. And yet, all I could do was be there as she slipped away…

There were words chiseled into the tombstone. Cecelia Anne Pegasus. The day she was born and the day she died followed. Also chiseled in the cold stone was the image of blooming roses and a verse… The rose may bloom and die, but the memory of its beauty lasts forever in those who have seen it. It was a verse meant to remind those left behind in this world that the beloved one who had left was still with them in some way. However, to the man that stood at the grave, those words were just that.

Why did I only have her for such a short time? The twenty-year-old man asked this question of… he didn't know who or what he asked. He just knew at this moment that he asked it. Why didn't I have her for longer? Why were we cheated out of our time together? We didn't even have a decade before… And so he remembered as tears ran down his face…

And that is the beginning of Roses of Autumn. What do you think? Read and review!
