The Stand

Life Over Death

Obsidian opened his eyes and looked around. He was in the temple. He walked up to the window and looked outside at the night sky. Obsidian opened the door and walked outside closing the door quietly behind him. He stepped off the deck and onto the beach. He looked to his left to see his ship. He started walking towards it.

"Obsidian" a voice said from behind him. The voice sounded familiar to obsidian. He turned around.

"Topaz" obsidian said tearing up. He started to walk to her.

"Why didn't you save me?" She asked him. He stopped.

"Why didn't you protect me?" She asked obsidian as he started backing away. Topaz's eyes turned black and her voice became distorted.

"Why didn't you stop her?" The distorted topaz asked. Obsidian turned around and ran back towards the temple but stops if front of topaz.

"Why didn't you love me?" She asked. Obsidian felt around for his gun but it wasn't there. Obsidian tried to summon a sword but nothing happened. Then everything turned black. There was nothing but darkness.

"Where am I?" Obsidian yelled. Obsidian tried to summon a sword but again it failed. Then the ground shattered and obsidian started to fall. Obsidian couldn't see anything below. He tried to land on his feet but he couldn't move. Obsidian hit the ground hard. Then everything turned white.

"Obsidian, obsidian it's ok it's ok I'm here" a familiar voice said. Obsidian opened his eye to see Garnet holding him in her arms. Obsidian stepped back.

"How long was I out?" He asked looking around.

"A year" Garnet answered. As she stepped closer to obsidian.

"How's Steven?" Obsidian asked.

"He didn't take it very well" garnet answered. Garnet walked to the window.

"He's outside with Connie if you want to talk to him" Garnet said looking out the window.

"Ok" obsidian said as he opened the door. Obsidian walked outside into the cool breeze.
