In dear memory of Heath Ledger (R.I.P. †)


«Dies iræ ! dies illa
Solvet sæclum in favilla:
Teste David cum Sibylla !

Quantus tremor est futurus,
Quando iudex est venturus,
Cuncta stricte discussurus !

Tuba, mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulchra regionum,
Coget omnes ante thronum.

Mors stupebit, et natura,
Cum resurget creatura,
Iudicanti responsura.
[…]

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus ?
Quem patronum rogaturus,
Cum vix iustus sit securus ?
[…]

Preces meæ non sunt dignæ:
Sed tu bonus fac benigne,
Ne perenni cremer igne.
[…]

Oro supplex et acclinis,
Cor contritum quasi cinis:
Gere curam mei finis.
[…]

Quantus tremor est futurus,
Dies iræ, dies illa,
Quantus tremor est futurus,
Dies iræ, dies illa.»


"Dies Irae"

Rating: T (in general), M for realism, violence and future explicit issues.

Time-Frame: Pre-Batman Begins to Post-TDK.

Disclaimer: Obviously, I do not own the Batman franchise, nor its characters, locations or backgrounds; they are property of DC Comics, Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan. I only borrow them to write non-sense stories, nonprofit and from the most sincere admiration to all of them. On the other hand, I do own some original characters and its background stories (all you can't recognize, it's mine).

Summary: Aliena goes through her own death. When she opens her eyes she's in a strange city called Gotham, where everyone says her name is Aliena Copperwaite and she has been in a coma for two weeks. In this new world, dark and hostile, she will learn that things are not always easy. That sometimes... it's better to get carried away by the madness.


Author's Note: Hi! I wanted to warn this before you begin to read the story. I am from Spain, so my mother language is Spanish and despite the fact that my level of English is rather good, I'm totally sure I have too many grammar faults. I'm sorry. If you see any of them, excuse me – you can also indicate them to me so I correct them. Thanks for your time!
