SHARDS GLIMMER UPON THE GROUND, jagged in every which way they sprawl beneath a destroyed window pane. within the destruction was a lone, wooden sword upon the ground, the culprit which initiated the impact which brought about this instance. several paused, hearing the anger of the shop owner erupt at the accused suspect before tuning in to hear the blonde speak up with what seems a distressed, yet nigh monotonous, voice.
❝ Wu, wu… to think, you would blame an innocent person like me. Wuuu, how terrible, when it wasn’t… ❞ she trails off as eyes glance swiftly to the nearest pedestrian, one finger lifting to point toward the unfortunate boy with silver hair. ❝ There! He’s acting like he didn’t, b - but I saw it all happen! Wu… ❞
( FIRST ) ♛`thing Sion had noticed about this city that it was certainly lively. More lively than anything he had seen before. Then again this city had many many things that he had not seen before. So much was new to the young king and he felt as if he didn’t have enough time in the world to understand it all. He’d just be satisfied with what he could learn for the time being.
As his steps brought him closer to even more lively voices, or screams rather. Concern would be laced in his facial expressions as he peered over to the source from curiosity. It seemed the horrific noises were coming behind a door, a door for the restroom. There seemed to be a man in front of the door looking rather impatient as well, what exactly was happening here?
❝ What...exactly is going on behind that door? ❞ The screaming kept ensuing, for some particular reason. Were they dying? Were they doing something absolutely painful? That was the only logical reasoning he could come up with at this point. ❝ Is there a murder happening in there? ❞ Please say no.
words as these cause a look of uncertainty to form, feeling faint already at the amount of blood which she has lost. lips part, only managing a meager retort in return before her brother silences her once more. ❝ It’s fine, Ferris. There is nothing for you to worry about. I’ll handle the troublesome stuff…… rest well. When you awake, everything will already be over. ❞ even so she can only frown, feeling the warmth of his hand shift to cover her eyes as her vision begins to darken. once more was he snatching away her consciousness, an abnormal ability he has attained. ah, when did he find something as that, anyway? again she wishes to protest, wishing for him to wait as her body begins to go limp against his body as he holds her.
like before, she could only think of how far away her brother feels to her now. somewhere distant beyond her extending hand, always running with no distance to be gained between them. no, something like this has always been how it was, her brother shouldering the entire world and their plights upon his very shoulders as she tried to reach for him upon the horizon. dwelling in a place beyond her understanding, the feeling of fear sinking into her chest at the thought of reaching that very spot which he stands; unable to comprehend his thoughts or for what or why he was doing all this. another memory, much like that day in what seems a distant memory.
those words that he spoke when saving her that fateful day, the memories of her bathed in her parents’ blood as their mother’s head flew and her father’s body ruptured by his own, two hands before turning to her with such an expression of kindness.
❝ Now……. there’s nothing to fear anymore, Ferris. Everything has ended. From here on, I’ll be protecting you. ❞
she could remember that moment, how her small frame shook as a child in the wake of his extended hand. how, despite having saved her only moments ago, she could think only that he was no human — a monster who lived in a place far from where she existed. such thoughts caused her voice to become stuck in her throat as she tremors in fear. no, she could not ask what she had so deeply desired to do. where did you go? what in the world did you do? what in the world did my brother…
in order to save me, what had my brother done?
blue hues open, glancing gently upon the face of the brother who looks down upon her with such a loving expression. ❝ Brother…… ❞ but her words did not continue to form, instead feeling his hands once more covering her eyes. softly the word sleep enters her mind. and in that instant her consciousness faded away swiftly, leaving her body secure in his strong, warm embrace.
