The sky was completely torn asunder and tossed into the deep blue below, leaving the crow in an awe-stricken embrace once more.

Those eyes... Were like liquid suns and molten hatred.

A gentle sparking in an inferno of white hot fire, glazed in honey like cherished gemstones.

.

Diamonds in the rubble.

Eternity didn't last forever.

Those amber eyes...

With their glistening hatred, I hope they never fall on me.
