Percie: As we all know
Author: I will kill you again I swear to God
"997, 998, 999, and 1000" Percie counted off as the rough, walnut sized rock landed in her palm, not that she could feel it, She was dead, along with the Elvin prince who is also her best friend, Nuada.Three months, eighteen days, fourteen hours, and five minutes, that's how long they had been trapped in this never ending Purgatory after Nuada had been denied access to the afterlife, and Percie refused to go into the light without him.
(Three months, eighteen days, fourteen hours and five minutes earlier)
"This Is Total B.S!" Percie barked furiously at the fearsome Angel of Death. "What do you mean Nuada can't pass on?!" Nuada rubbed Percie's shoulder comfortingly, "it's okay Percie" he whispered, praying that the Angel would excuse his friend's fury and unintentional disrespect. "No, it's not Nuada!" Percie challenged glaring fiercely at the powerful being, "You might have done some bad things in the past but certainly nothing horrible enough to be denied the afterlife." Nuada looked down at his feet, never have ACTUALLY told Percie what he had done, only that he had left home only to come back when they needed him.
"Regardless, I'm not going his he's not" Percie stated firm as concrete, "Percie Darling don't be rash, This may be the only chance to meet you family, isn't that what you've ever wanted sweetheart?" The troll woman from before soothed, Percie turned sharply and stared daggers into her mother, "I Do have a family" she intertwined her thin fingers with Nuada's thick rough ones, "And I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world," she smiled at him, "Or the next one". Truth be told , Percie wasn't as fond as her mother as she would have like to be, She found her to be clingy, passive aggressive, and almost seemed to be jealous of Nuada. Often making subtle remakes on how Nuada was to blame for her daughter's premature passing.
"If you chose to follow Prince Nuada into Purgatory, there is almost no chance of you ever getting a second chance. Is that clear my child?" The eyeless asked. Percie peered at the blinding heavenly light that held the promise of eternal happiness and most of all a chance to meet her family, then looked at the hand that held hers, the person who belonged to that hand was Nuada, Brave Nuada who openly accepted her and her gift, when it would have been easier to ditch her. "Crystal" She confirmed
The Angel seemed almost sad, "Then if you are going to go back there is matter that must be settled, Come forward my dear." Percie proudly approached the Angel. The Deathly figure pressed a thumb to the woman's fore head and the other hand on her heart, sharp pain spread through Percie's chest and head starting at the places on pressure and slowly creeping through the rest of her body, "What's happening to her?" Nuada inquired, "She losing her powers" Percie's mother informed sadly, "I was afraid this would happen,"
"Now you must go, we will meet again" the Angel seemed to warn, a blast of wind picked up, blasting back the now lost souls into their new haunting grounds. "Oof!" Percie grunted "Why did that hurt me?" she muttered and rolled the 190 pounds of muscle off her chest. " . . .You" The pale figure of Nuada barked making Percie jump, "Pardon?"
"Have you taken leave of your senses?! Do you understand what you just did? You just threw away your ticket to eternal life in paradise!" Nuada paced and ranted till his snow white cheeks almost glowed even brighter, "Um Nuada?" Percie began, "How could you have been so rash?!" "Nuada?" Percie said indignantly and raised an eyebrow as the light glowed brighter, "I don't Believe…." "NUADA!" Percie shouted, "You're Glowing" Nuada stopped dead in his tracks, "What?" "You are lit up like a Christmas tree" Nuada looked at his hand that began to dim down, "Our light must be effected by our emotions" Percie looked down and crossed her arms, "Hey" Nuada hugged her, "I Apologize for yelling at you, and thank you for staying behind with me" "You're very welcome, it's weird you know" she gazed at her hand, "We're not white, like I thought we would be, just see through" she tilted her hand as the light shone through.
"Like colored paper or stained glass" she giggled and looked at the ground, "Nuada look" she pointed at the sun light patch that shown through the crumbling ceiling, "No shadows" Nuada waved his hand in the sunlight, "no warmth, Nothing" he stated blandly, "We really are dead aren't we?" Percie shuttered and grabbed Nuada's hand, "Yea, I guess we are" Percie suddenly grinned, "Hey?" Nuada seemed in no mood for teasing, "What?" "I wonder if we can really go through walls."
