Nostalgia...
Melancholy...
Longing?...
So many words for the same emotion. He did not know how to describe the emotion that that fragile flower that rose before his feet caused him. He bent down to pick it up, but when he cut it it became hard as stone. Remembering the fields that formed an ocean of petals in his old home caused him, that...
A sad feeling...
From someone who lost everything.
For a moment he looked away towards his "partner" who had already verified the identity of the person in front of them. And with a nod his companion allowed him to intervene.
At the boy's declaration, he advanced with deafening steps until he was face to face.
«NO ONE»
He declared.
Out of nowhere he knelt down. This surprised those who knew him, because not even before the great sovereign did he show respect like the one he showed at that time.
«No one is your enemy, oh god of a destroyed nation and protector of a cursed people...
NO ONE IS YOUR ENEMY Oh GREAT ARCHON OF THE ABYSS»
A statement that only caused silence...
«That...»
He slowly extended his palm towards the man.
«...It's a lie...»
A large number of ice spikes came out of the floor, and the captain agilely dodged them.
«...My enemies... Are those who try to kill me...»
With his finger he pointed at everyone making a baiben.
"They are all my enemies!"
The boy lunged at the one who caused the whole mess in the first place. But one way or another it was completely useless, the steel giant grabbed him by the waist and threw him away before he could reach her.
After being thrown and after a spin in the air, the young man fell gently to the ground.
«I...I will finish off my enemies...»
Without even being able to finish, he hunched his back and with an agonized expression held his stomach. With a wobbly posture he was barely able to remain standing and at the same time a cold sweat began to appear.
Between his moans all eyes fell on him.
Although it was almost imperceptible to the spectators, from his feet a black mark began to spread throughout his body as if it were a spider web.
"AHG!"
Between agonized moans, Aether lost what little sanity there was, while the bright golden color of his hair faded into a whitish color.
The marks slowly covered his body and a pulsating carmine glow began to appear on his chest.
"Quickly, everyone must evacuate the place!" he exclaimed with a wave of his hand and a captain's voice.
Rays of red began to surround Aether, while the grass at his feet began to destroy and rebuild into rock peaks.
The great bustle raised a shower of petals in the electrifying air that was formed by red discharges.
"AHHHHH~"
Aether gave a deafening scream, completely filled with pain.
Camin-colored cracks began to appear all over his body while the amber glow in his eyes turned into an intense red.
THE EARTH RUMBLED
and
A great calamity was about to be unleashed...
~Big brother forgive me, I am guilty of this story. I couldn't light a candle because its flame was already extinguished~
In an instant the earth stopped, and I entered the corridors and rooms of that cold castle, a song with a sweet voice as a performer began to resonate.
~I know the law of this cruel world and the answer cannot be found. Dear brother, dead you will not live. Look at such a gentle mother, so much love to share~
The calamity was slowly calmed and asleep.
The sound of heels clicking against the floor began to sound along with the chant.
~Everything we tried was useless to follow. I gave you falsehood, perfect and sweet yes, let us be together again today, guilty brother I am~
When the calamity was already completely dormant, an emotion emerged from the depths of being.
~Big brother, don't cry anymore, because I'm the one to blame, I sacrificed your life and I didn't ask you, that's my sin~
Every anomaly that had appeared in his body slowly began to disappear to the point of being non-existent, leaving only a slight white hue from the roots of his hair.
At the great door the figure of a woman dazzled. An impeccable white dress, white skin, ash blonde hair and the peculiarity of one sapphire-colored eye and another of a bright amber color.
With low cabis, staggering steps, and emerging tears Aether approached the woman.
~ Sister, don't say more, because I could never blame you, I will never be angry, the sin that you say does not exist for me. Younger sister, accept the falsehood, perfect and sweet yes, to be together again today and find a new home, but it is not necessary to ever cry, because my home is wherever you are~
When they were face to face his gaze fell on her. At the same time, the carmine tone of his pupils faded and their golden color returned.
—How?...
He questioned.
—How?...
His body briefly wavered. The fact that he had previously lost a lot of blood and consumed a large amount of strength had caused him great exhaustion, but despite everything he was still standing.
—How do you know it's a song!?
He exclaimed with all his might.
The woman didn't say anything. He just looked with a warm smile.
Tears came out of her eyes and a sad expression appeared on her face.
When the woman saw him, she knelt at his height and gave him a big hug.
After that his expression changed to one full of surprises.
—Why?...
His body succumbed to exhaustion, first went the leg.
—Why?...
Then the arms, and...
"Why don't I feel that emptiness anymore?"
Finally your conscience...
