The Long Black Cloud

by Emberseve

Murtagh's thoughts as he almost dies from a wound in battle, and on how far away he feels from the rest of the world. This is supposed to take place after Eldest.

The Long Black Cloud

The road is dark.

Too dark, to be seen.

Or it had just might be me.

I feel blind and away.

Just about far from everything.

Everything…

But things dim and pale.

Suddenly I see,

A long black cloud.

Coming…calling, from a distance.

Yet so far away.

So far away, and coming this way.

I want to runaway.

Runaway from this long Black cloud.

Runaway from this all.

I need to getaway.

From the fray on this road,

That I follow.

I'm hearing voices.

I know that I will wake now.

But I still wonder…

If someday.

Will I ever see?

This long black cloud again.
