Just Gravelord Nito and the Furtive Pygmy chilling at the bonfire.
[Image Description: A rough digital painting depicting Nito and the Furtive Pygmy from Dark Souls, seated on opposite sides of a bonfire at night. The Pygmy sits with his back to the viewer, his thin figure mostly a dark silhouette, but his face can be seen in profile. Opposite him is Nito, "sitting" so that some of the skeletons that form his body drag on the ground, and his arms are lowered. Light from the bonfire catches on the skeletons and his sword. /end ID]

Miss Ghost (幽霊さん)
きっと思い出す頃に化けて出るんだ
あたしの体奪った幽霊
気づいたらあたり真っ暗になって
あなたの後ろに立った幽霊さん
Undoubtedly, by the time you remember, I'll have become a wandering ghost.
I'm a ghost that's stolen this body.
Before you know it, your surroundings have gone completely black,
and Miss Ghost is standing right behind you.
きっと思い出す事はないまま眠った
あなたの寝顔覗いてたんだ
行く宛もないまま縋り憑いて
未練さえ残しちゃった幽霊さん
Undoubtedly, you slept without remembering a thing.
I took a peek at your sleeping face.
I clung to this haunting without any particular goal in mind,
a Miss Ghost who went and left regrets behind.
鏡の中に窓の外
テレビの縁から見えてるの
タンスとベッドに隙間のカーテン
ずっとランデヴー
I can see you from within the mirror,
from outside the window, and from the edge of the TV.
From the space between your nightstand and your bed, from the gap in your curtains,
I keep up this rendezvous with you.
あたし幽霊さん
いつの間にやら何もかも
見えなくなっちゃって
あたし幽霊さん
黄泉の暇で癒えぬ恋をする
I'm Miss Ghost.
Next thing you know, you can't see
anything at all anymore.
I'm Miss Ghost,
whenever I'm on leave from the underworld, I fall into this love that refuses to heal.
きっと思い出す頃に化けて出るんだ
あたしの体奪った幽霊
気づいたらあたり真っ暗になって
あなたの後ろに立った幽霊さん
Undoubtedly, by the time you remember, I'll have become a wandering ghost.
I'm a ghost that's stolen this body.
Before you know it, your surroundings have gone completely black,
and Miss Ghost is standing right behind you.
ね あたし
ゆめをみてるの
身体はない心のままあなたを愛せるわ
Look, I
am dreaming.
I may not have a body, but I can still love you to my formless heart's content.
幽霊さんあたし幽霊さん
Miss Ghost, I'm Miss Ghost.
オモイダスコトハナイヨトネムッタ
あなたを見ているわ
You fell asleep, thinking there wasn't anything to remember.
I'm watching you.
だけど
幽霊この声が
届く事なんかない今日も
ひゅるれい抱き締めても気づかないの
But
even today, this ghost's voice
fails to reach you.
Even when my ghostly form whistles as I hold you close, you don't feel a thing.
愛玩しわくちゃのメモリー
体外離脱もぬけのパロディー
生活感にほど遠いあたしを住まわせて
愛は心こそセオリー
生前、二十歳、仮初、解離
ちゃんとあなたを
These cherished, well-worn memories,
a parody of an out-of-body experience, of casting off my skin,
it's all a far cry from that at-home feel. Let me live here!
Love is a theory of the heart in itself.
In life, at twenty, transient, dissociated.
You will be properly—

You know, I'm a poor writer, but if I weren't, I'd make a fanfic casting the Lords from Dark Souls as ascended dead souls after the apocalypse of our world, lucky schmucks who got their hands on the First Flame before anyone else but with no other real worthiness inherent to them. I'd use that as the reason why Gwyn and his ilk spontaneously acquired the trappings of European monarchy and warfare: one lucky soul thought about what "power" meant to them and poured that into the flame so it could shape them into Gwyn. Nito was a dead soul that found trying to create an imitation of life in this new era perverse, and became an avatar of death. The Witch of Izalith was a scholar who wanted to study and understand the new world she was in. And the Furtive Pygmy was a kind soul who simply wanted to share the gift of new life with the rest of humanity, even if their forms didn't and couldn't really resemble old-world humans, and Gwyn feared it for that.
