The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Dick set the red and gold flowers he had brought in front of the grave stone he was standing in front. Everything had happened so fast that day two weeks ago. He hadn't even known what had happened until it was too late. No one had gotten to say goodbye. He was so young though. Why had he been taken from his family. Dick still remembered seeing his body on the ground. Damian was dead
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and you will find
The passage out of the dark
Dick had been hit the hardest out of the batfamily members over Damian's death. They had been partners once upon a time after all. Dick was surrounded by darkness. He wanted out of it. So every night he prayed to find his way free from the darkness.
Here I am
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
His prayers were often pleas for Damian to be still alive. He wished it had been him not Damian that had died. He wanted that saving angel. Even now as the sun was just barely starting to rise. Dick prayed that everything would just go back to the way it had used to be. Tears fell and stained his cheeks.
The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns
Dick struggled with figuring out who he was anymore. He had lost too much family. Even if some came back. Others were gone forever. It was like a raging storm that would never go away. Damian had been the kid that strived to become better. He had been a glimmer of life. Until he had died at the end of a sword.
Here I am
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Damian was lonely. He always had been. From the years he had fought hard to prove himself to his mother to the time he spent with those he deigned to call family. Even now, he was still lonely. He had never had anyone.
The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Dick looked up at the morning sky, tears still dripping down his race. Damian had to be in a better place. Maybe things would never be the same but things would get better in time. All it took was a little hope and a lot of family comfort.
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and you will find
The way out of the dark
Dick wouldn't move on in the next month. Or the next couple of months. Damian's death had been too heartbreaking. But with time he would move on and find his way out of the darkness.
Here I am
Will you send me an angel?
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
"Here I am" Damian sat perched on the tombstone his name was etched into. He wore a white training uniform and had white wings stretched out casually.
Dick still wanted his brother back. He wanted that angel of hope to come. But it wouldn't. And life would go on.
"Here I am," Damian watched as Dick started to walk away, "goodbye Grayson"
Dick shivered as a hum of a whisper floated on the breeze. He looked back at Damian's grave. The headstone shone white as the light from the sun shone on it.
