"It is not terrifying to know sorrow.

Terrifying is to know you can't go back to happiness

you could have."

Introduction

As I wandered as a Vaste Lorde, I did not know my future.

There was an evolution to come, beings to encounter, and even a final understanding.

The world from the mind of a hollow differed greatly from the mind of an Arrancar. The changes were remarkable. We learned of the name of the thing which we had been seeking but were unable to obtain.

A soul, a heart.

Humans were trash to be controlled by such things.

Impossible and vile creatures.

Only too late did I reach an understanding.

This is my response to Wishing-Fire's 100 theme challenge, which is for each chapter you take one of the prompts and write a 100 word story off of it. There are 100 prompts, so there are 100 chapters. Am I crazy? Yes.

Reviews are awesome,

-Quin

This applies to the whole story:

I do not own Ulquiorra Schiffer, any of the Espada or anything of Tite Kubo's creation. They are his. The "100 Theme Challenge" is Wishing-Fire's and it can be done in other fandoms besides Kingdom Hearts.

Thank you!
