His Execution
Prompt: My Muse is put on execution and your muse is standing in the crowd, watching. What are your muses feelings about this?
She watches him, standing on the raised platform, just as strong and proud a he's always been. He doesn't blink or grimace as they read off the charges against him, but instead stares coldly at the crowd. A crowd full of those who despise and condemn him, those who wish to watch him die. To have him suffer as much pain as they had been put through. Not her, though.
She stands, silent and invisible between two men, one jeering and the other throwing something at the stage, though the object falls short. She can’t believe this is what his life has come to. That he had gone down this path. Sure, the end of her life had been brutal and painful for both of them, but she never thought he would hold on so tightly to her memory.
Yet, he had, and now he stood facing the consequences of those actions. She agrees with the crowd that what he did was terrible and cruel, but she never would have thought that it would lead to his execution. Then again, she'd never thought it'd come this far. Never thought he would take it so hard.
Even as he stood there, hands clasped (tied) behind his back, he looked as handsome as she remembered. Tall, strong, looking ready to take on the world for his cause. Before, it had been her, and she remembered how he would whisper to her that he would move mountains, oceans, and all of the spirit world for her if she had asked.
Her non-beating heart pounded, as she watched the officials fasten a rope around his neck. Tears pricked at the corner of her eyes, and she began moving, running, racing towards him. Passing through the people in an effort to get to him. for years, she had longed to be with him, but not like this. Never like this. He was supposed to live on, and be happy. To remember her with love, not agonize over her death. He wasn't supposed to die like this, never like this.
The crowd grew quiet, and her heart beat louder than a drum. No. This couldn't be happening, it shouldn't be happening. Not to him, her lovely Noatak. The silence held all of eternity in that moment, as the executioner pulled the lever. The floor of the platform gave away beneath him, and he dropped, just as she screamed in her silent world.
She choked, sprinting through the platform and kneeling upon it, her hands shakily reaching out to touch him. Still warm, but ever so still. Not even jerking. Tears began to flow from her eyes as she stared, not even realizing that she was crying. All that she could think of was no, this wasn't real. This wasn't real, it couldn't be. It hit her like a ten ton boulder, and she crumpled, invisible to everyone as she awkwardly cradled his head, stroking his thick dark hair, pressing kisses to his skin. Her darling, her love, her Noatak. Dead. Because of that damn Equalist war. Because her death had pushed him to it.
Her death. Her. She had killed him. She had killed her only love. Indirectly, yes, but it was all her fault. Her mind blanked, that thought echoing across all of time inside her mind. It was her fault that he was now dead, that the crowd was cheering.
She wept harder, holding his body (corpse), crying out in agony that only a tortured soul could manage. "Please, I beg of you, Spirits, change this! Let him live, I love him. My darling, my Noatak. I'm so sorry, my love, I'm sorry, I’m so sorry..." -Mika
