World that is gone.

for me, there is nothing left but death.

She danced in the moonlight.

All that she had ever loved had fallen and now it was her turn to die. It seemed cruel by fate that it would be this night that all was decided. The night where she had lost everything and gained ahurt.

Souls that wander, souls that are. Screaming, searching, The infinity and beyond.

Taking,

Breaking,

Hurting,

Shaking.

The assassin lay hidden behind a few trees a little way off. His crossbow was loaded and aimed at her heart but for some reason he did not fire, instead he watched silent under the glittering sea of stars.

I sing to the Moon,

I dance to the Stars.

Waiting, to be again

in your loving arms.

The man sighed, his short raven locks being blown in the night's strong breeze. He bowed his head and prayed to his deity for a soul. If you had looked into his eyes and looked hard enough you would have seen they were dead. His soul was stone cold.

And if this night, I die.

I will be with you again.

And my doom decided.

My fate to an end.

But maybe this is no end.

But of something far stronger.

Maybe a path decided.

But not an end, at all.

The man released the bolt and the woman stopped dancing. She gulped and lowered her head, falling forward onto her knees.

Life to death but there is no reverse.

There is no going back,

There is only death.

There is no after,

Just blackness and blankness.

The assassin lay back on the grass, lifeless. It was obvious he was dead but there was no scar, no hurt.

The girl looked up and slowly opened her eyes, her moonlight hair momentarily covering herthem for a second, then her glossy curls were blown back by the wind to reveal her eyes. Eyes, so bright and so blue that they were alomost unreal. Her flawless pale skin shone and made her seem all the more, enchanted.

The crossbow bolt lay at her feet, slowly she touched it. It was cold and sent a shiver up her spine.Tears trickled down her cheeks as she turned her head slowly and saw the corpse.

' so long... Veyirh'

The girl swallowed and stood up, she closed her eyes and held her hands high in the air as if waiting for something to happen.

'Oh God so long have I wandered in this life.

So long have I been torn,

I cannot find the strength to carry on.

Please, make it end so that I may be home again.

Rise to meet this dawn.

Please let me be whole. Amen'

She opened her eyes, maybe... there was light. maybe a reson to carry on. all she had to do was keep walking.

So it was that on that hill in the middle of a barren wasteland that a girl wearing ragged clothes and a faded old black traveling cloak walked again into the darkness and just kept walking.
