Cast No Shadow

A/N: Was listening to this song and I got inspired. Also inspired by MJE's "Wonderwall" (Its very good, go read it.) This is kind of A/J, but not really. Jon's pov.

Don't own SOTL, or the extracts from the song Cast No Shadow – that belongs to Oasis.

Here's a thought for every man who tries to understand what is in his hands

He walks along the open road of Love & Life surviving if he can.

Galloping out of the Bazhir camp, Jonathan of Conte fumed. What kind of a woman was she to refuse his proposal; after all he'd ever done for her. Unfeminine, abnormal…

Not looking back, he galloped on to Corus, believing he was right.


Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say

Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say

And as he faced the sun he cast no shadow.

One Year Later

As the sun rose, Jonathan of Conte stood at the top of Balor's Needle, facing east. They had gone, taking his soul, and his pride. They had gone, leaving him chained to the palace for the rest of his life. He wished he was like Alanna, and could roam wherever he pleased. Gods he missed her. There where so many words he'd tried to say to her, should have said to her. Now she was gone, but so was his chance with her. He could move on, but a part of him would always belong to her.


As they took his soul they stole his pride.
And as he faced the sun he cast no shadow.
