happy! Kudos to all of mine and Miku's readers and reviewers! This
short story is an original, but it would be quite easy to insert any of
the G-boys if you like. Now, onto my bout of insanity and big words! XD
"Sleepless Slumber"
A short story.
(PART 1)
I have been asleep for a long time. I have slept through wars, years of peace, famines, the changing of times; centuries. I have only been aroused from my dreamless slumber a few times. Each time I was transported to a new etch in the universe's timeline, if there is such a thing as time. I am not supposed to wake for several more centuries.
As I stare blindly, for I can sleep no longer, at the lid of my resting place I wonder. I wonder, why am I awake? A shuffling below me, a creak of old, polished timber above. The answer to my wondering now hovers in my view. A mysterious mixture of excitement and horror on her face; a small, beautiful grin quick to replace it. As the last traces of my long slumber clear from my eyes, it becomes clear that my new world is in the two wide, deep eyes that compliment the finely sculptured face in which they rest. I am swallowed by my long lost love of old, only new. She is yet aware of the honor in which I possess, bestowed upon my by her beauty.
Slowly, gently I raise my lace clad hand to her face; so soft it is nearly painful. Surprise at my action fills her honey-sweet eyes, soon replaced with the memories of who she once was. My life, essence, love reflects from those delightful pools of liquid amber. As she leans down to place a chaste kiss upon my nose, a single, hot tear falls upon my face, my lips. Had I but tears of my own to shed. I can only mirror my lover in my own luminous eyes of lapis lazuli, so clear they nearly resemble the first snow of winter. Alone will I sleep no more without her eternally at my side. The slumber of the ageless can hold me no longer.
