Disclaimer: I own bionicle solely in my dreams and nowhere else
Pretty random fic and all... but ever since I came back from having a glob of my gum (OWW!) taken out by the dentist, I've been in a... weird/depressing mood.
If you are realizing that all my bionicle stories have Gali in them somehow, then let it be known I have this unhealthy obsession with writing Gali fics, ; I just love her character... sorry I'm rambling...
She lay, looking unseeingly up at the gray sky.
Her body caked with her own blood and the blood that wasn't hers, the blood of her brothers.
Her brothers.
What had gone wrong?
The only answer that her mind could give was that of the battle.
The battle.
Those two words conquered a multitude of images, ones of blood, betrayal, violence, and agony. Plenty of agony.
The agony on Tahu's face as the poison took over.
The agony of looking into Kopaka's unseeing, raging, eyes, realizing Kopaka wasn't there anymore, as he stabbed her through with his sword.
The agony of watching Lewa's struggling form, as he suffocated in the depths of his watery prison.
The agony as Onua became exactly the opposite of his calm, wise, peaceful nature.
The agony of Pohatu blindly lashing out at her, scarring her body past recognition with the wide, jagged, deep cuts of his climbing claws.
But worst, the agony as she heard her own scream rip through the air, knowing she had failed brothers, matoran, turaga, and Mata Nui himself, by failing to defeat Makuta.
But none of that mattered now, did it?
She herself was going to die, sealing the fate of hundreds as she lay here, in a pool of her own blood.
Silently cursing herself, she looked continuously upwards. It appeared to be deciding to rain or not.
Her time was near.
She knew she was lost to all.
Lost here, on this godforsaken island, in the middle of nowhere, her life juices flowing away, like a river's own water emptying out into something bigger than itself.
So why did she not care?
Why did she only want to stay awake for the moment to watch for rain?
With her remaining poisoned brothers out there somewhere, looking for her, with obvious killer intent, shouldn't she just want to die?
Would it not be better just to die now peacefully, instead of in a suicidal combat against those she once loved?
It didn't matter anyways though, the stream of life had decided that she was gone, and now she knew that she was going to expire soon,
very soon.
It became agonizing to breathe,
tormenting to feel her broken body on this hard rock,
excruciating to stay awake,
so why should she?
Why should she stay awake for the sole purpose of looking for the nonexistent rain to appear?
There was no reason.
She realized this as she closed her eyes and took her last breath,
There was no reason at all.
Numbing silence filled the valley.
No sound could be heard for miles.
No mourning for the toa that had just passed.
The sky opened its floodgates, and cried.
