||Where Butterflies Die~||
Candelabras laughed at the scene before them. The shadows of themselves jumped on the wood walls. The wind outside beat down the rickety house, but it wouldn't matter as in a few minutes the house would have little value to the knight. Before him was a fragile boy. With two different eyes, with one that read 'permanent death' in plain view, and the other, only a memory long ago. He did not weep, because it would change nothing to his fate. Vermillion eyes that gleamed of hunger. Euphoria rushed through the granite being, and though he was to look like a being of the boy's world, his lungs and heart were plastic. As easy flammable as the facade they put up behind porcelain masks. If the boy wanted him to be ever truthful, why did they play house everyday? The caring butler, the young master who was void of human emotion. It was counterproductive, and soon it would get too poisonous, and both of them would cease to nothing of any value as they slowly killed theirselves unintentionally. The knight licked his lips, an act that showed his true being. It was a knight in the boys hands, but the boy was only a pawn in gloved hands.
The boy felt his throat constrict, he knew he should say it, but if he says it he might as well jump into the flames himself. Wings fluttered in the back of his throat, wings of porcelain and glass, so delicate,
so beautiful. It seemed to hold everything dearest, as everything dearest as a simple photograph would show. He pushed them back, not wanting to burn, to die a fate worse than death. He felt the fluttering cease,
and blood dripped down his lips, and his eyes went void of life it seemed. His heart still beat, but his was not plastic like the demons, but a porcelain that could be broken by the slightest touch.
It seems like the 'kings' hamartia was that he let the knight break everything he touched, discreetly.
The boy knew it was hopeless.
After all, in a demons stomach is where butterflies die.
