I am alone.
I stared ahead as petals of deep blue and white danced with the wind. I was alone as I stood here in a sea of blue and white roses, the grim black sky stretching endlessly above me. In the silence, I could hear the sighing of the wind in this abyss of what I decided to call "emptiness".
Emptiness, I closed my regal blue eyes, are there other words fit to describe this desolate place? What a suitable punishment, I thought collapsing down causing more petals to fly with the howling wind. A dry laugh escaped my lips as I thought of the irony of my situation. So this is my punishment? After making a contract with a demon? I wondered maybe this hollow pit was some sort of hell… a hell found in the depths of fear of every sinner's heart. This is my hell, huh? Loneliness and desolation.
I lay on my back. It seemed difficult to find out which is was worse. The life I had back there or the emptiness of this place?
I opened my eyes: a majestic blue and the other, a glowing eye with the seal of my contract. I stared up the pitch black oblivion, not bothering to call out knowing full well that I am completely, utterly all. By. Myself.
It was kind of pathetic, even a little disgraceful. Rot here for eternity? I'm certain they could do better than that.
Entangled, I stretched my hand into the endless darkness which felt so long. If I had to be honest, I never felt this empty before. I'm still struggling but what was there to lose? Lies, tears, pretension. I'm not so weak. But in this silence, I just wanted to scream out and release all those sentiments that has piled up and kept in the bottom of my heart. As night falls, all of us awaited for the daybreak like hope after being lost in grief. But in this darkness, I knew it would be futile to traverse through this sea of flowers where morning will never come.
It has been cold for quite a while now, I noticed after shivering, but my head was still being filled with merciless memories that I didn't care about it. The words I had thought over were carved into my soul now like how vengeance had driven me to create the contract.
In the midst of the silence, I heard something new. The sound of something gliding across the flowers. I knew what -or rather who- it was already before lowering my gaze to meet the familiar blood-red eyes.
He extended an open hand to me and I didn't think much and just reached out for this gentle warmth. He softly pulled me up and when I was already on my feet, he knelt on one knee in a gesture of respect.
It was then that I knew I will never be alone. He had sworn to be by my side…
"You are late."
…yesterday, today, tomorrow…
"I expect you to stay?" I did not know why I asked but I already know his response as every single flower around us began to wither.
…and forever.…
He looked at me with knowing eyes, the corners of his lips rising.
"Yes, my lord."
