Scarlet Eyes - A Shadow Of Memories/Destiny fiction
Shido
Warning:
This is set after ending A, so possible spoilers ahead.
Pairing: Eike x Homunculus
I can hear bubbles popping. Hundreds and hundreds of them. It's driving me mad;
it always does when I'm being summoned. I have to get out of this stupid
container...but I can't be bothered to muster up the strength to break it,
thanks to that clumsy idiot. Everything was sorted...he was alive; I was free
to do as I pleased, instead of wondering when I would be called upon next. But
then the Digipad fell, a fragment shattering my fragile skull and sending me
back into that wretched stone, imprisoning me until my next master appears and
wants a wish granted.
Speaking of which, I wonder what it will be this time... Riches? Eternal youth?
All of the knowledge in the world? Another stupid one, probably. It tends to
surprise them, finding out that the artificial life they've "created"
is actually a genie imprisoned within the stone. Hopefully this next one will not
have been clever enough to try the pentagram trick.
While thinking about all of this, I'm attempting to get my eyes to open. The
most I can achieve right now is a flicker of my eyelids before getting
exhausted. Damn you, Eike, for rendering me useless. I would usually have
broken out of this by now, eager to greet the new idiot and steal his soul.
Heh, I remember when Eike first died. He made a comment on that...I think it
was "You're the big S, the devil. 'In exchange for your immortal soul' and
all that, right?" I almost laughed at him, yet I realized later that's
exactly what I do. Upon making a wish, each of my 'masters' surrenders their
soul to me when they die. Not that they're actually worth having.
