Anthem of the Angels
White walls surround us
No light will touch your face again
So, it's true? He thought as he walked to where the body was laid out. He ran a gloved hand down the cold cheek of his former lover and best friend.
Rain taps the window
As we sleep among the dead
Rain? In May? Fitting, he thought. He knelt down beside the body and placed his hand over the dead man's hand. Slowly, as he cried, he fell asleep
Days go on forever
But I have not left your side
He hadn't left his side for a few days. Oh, yes, they had tried to persuade him otherwise. It's not right, they said. It's not healthy. But soon he'd be going to a place where no one could see him.
We can chase the dark together
If you go then so will I
It's over now, he thought. He's gone and he's not coming back. All sorts of thoughts ran through his mind when he'd finally accepted that fact. What was the quickest, easiest way to join him again? The name hit his mind quickly. Scar.
There is nothing left of you
I can see it in your eyes
It had taken all his courage to come back, to see his best friend dead again. Slowly, he opened the eyes of the corpse. That was when he realised it was no longer Maes Hughes. There was nothing left of him, except the empty shell he once inhabited.
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye
"It's definitely raining," he said to his closest subordinate, another he had sworn to protect. Tears ran freely down his face now as he stood in front of the grave, tears that he'd kept in throughout the last few days and especially at the funeral.
"I think you're right."
