Only if You Light My Way…
~*The angels must feel envious, gazing upon that beautiful smile… soon, they will see it in person... (Spoilers for Godchild End)*~ Riff's thoughts as he lay dying.
"Maybe he didn't us after all… Thank you, Jizabel."
"Lord Cain… I will find you…."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why are you crying, my Lord?" His was such a magnificent, face… like a beautiful angel soiled with /blood/.
"F-father… H-he… he killed my bird…!!" And the heavens on high can only wish this precious voice would join their wondrous choir, their holy procession…
"Where are you, my Lord?"
Such a sad and familiar trace, it must be him! Yes… CAIN!
"You are the only person allowed to see and touch my scars, Riff." ...The harsh of Alexis' whip must still sting your precious skin; the closer I get, the more it hurts me as well… but I will endure this for you, my Master.
"I will bear this pain for you, Lord Cain."
It's just like him, just like an angel to be resting beneath the beautiful stained glass skylights, looking to the heavens for help in this time of ethereal darkness....
"You lousy servant! I should cut your wages!" I know. I love you too, my Lord.
There it goes… The sweet melody of breaking glass and breaking dawn…
"You must go my lord!" I push him out of harm's way and bear this punishment alone. It is the least I can do to atone for the pain I have caused you.
But if I'm to do this alone, why am I suddenly being surrounded by warmth?
"I already told you, Riff. If we must go, we shall go together…" Even the angels must be jealous of a smile so beautiful as yours right now.
Soon, they will be able to see its full beauty in person…
"Carry me to the stars on your back, my Manservant." He laughs at this, but if that is his last command, I will do so...
"Only if you are to light my way, My Lord…"
No… it doesn't sound right…
"My Angel…"
No… it still doesn't fit…
"My dear and brightest light- My Cain."
Yes… My Cain…
…How fitting my beautiful Lord and Light looks with stained glass wings…
Thanks for reading...
