Warning: I would not recommend reading this story until you've read Inklings of Emotion. This story is meant to take place after that, and although you can read this without reading the backstory, I wouldn't recommend it. On a different note, I hope you like this story! Enjoy!


Immortality

Prologue

Feliciano's P.O.V.


Immortality. Over the course of many years, immortality is the one thing that humans have consistantly hunted for, tirelessly. It has been the ultimate quest, the one goal that most, if not all humans thirst for. The alchemists hunted for it. Philosophers debated about it and whether it was possible. Scientists experimented with the prospect of it. The list goes on and on.

But, the only beings, human-like in appearance, with "immortality" are the personifications. We are the only "humans" possessing "immortality". But even we can die when our countries fall, or if we feel that we no longer have any place in this reality. Because, after all, the concept of "eternal life", true, unending life, doesn't exist.

Because, in the end, we are all built from the same paper-like substance that serves as flesh, that can be cut so easily, the same hollow casts that form our bones, that can be broken with one fall, and the same delicate, beating hearts, that can be so simply shattered, with one word, just one word. It doesn't matter how you say it, it all means the same thing.

Death.

He's dead.

Lovino's dead.

My big brother's dead.

And he's never coming back.


I hope you liked this! I based this off of a story prompt I saw online, and this idea formed. Basically in this chapter, Feliciano is narrating and it takes place after Lovino's death in Inklings of Emotion. Also, thanks to the users who have reviewed my fanfiction. The reviews have helped!

Thanks for spending the time to read this!

Ciao!
