Love embedded in Sin

Darius x Wylfred

Maybe, it was the fact that we both had slain our best friends, maybe, it was the fact that we both lived on with the sin we had committed or maybe, it was the fact that we seemed to be like the mirror image of the other, that we were drawn so strongly to each other like this. Whatever it had been I do not know. I only know, that I am already trembling in fear at the mere thought of using the accursed plume to end his life. A Life, which had drowned itself in my body under the blanket of the stars or in the thick, rich, green laid out under our naked selves. The memory of him crying out, his pain of the sin and feeling of loss tormenting him, while our skin were heated, our bodies mingling with each other and even our insides seemed to burn, lets my heart ache and twist in agony.

Never would I have thought, that amidst the path of sinful redemption I would meet someone, who would be able to steal what I had thought to have kept away from everyone around me. He had taken my heart from me, had captured it with every word of pain, every touch of understanding, every gaze of knowledge and I would, in return, take his life for my ambition. Ambition which seemed more and more empty, yet had to be fulfilled. Too many had I already sacrificed for it, too many send early to their graves, to let it end now out of even greater selfishness. Still... What I would give for a world with only him and me...

But now, wishing was wasted, as the moment had come. My hand trembles, my inner self screams in panic and my mind goes blank. I stare at him, how he fights the monsters around him. His movements are elegant and swift, every strike of his sword deadly, nonetheless, the monsters do not cease to come. As everything around seems to have lost its sound, I can hear my own voice, uttering the words, that would throw my beloved into death´s embrace instead of mine. I hear them and I see how the power surges forth from him, how everything around him dies in a mere instant and how his life seeps out of his beautiful, strong body. Shivers of cold fear run through my body as the last of the beasts falls and he with it.

I run towards him, yell his name and catch him, before he can touch the ground. His eyes flutter open once more, gaze into mine and a smile adorns his lips as he whispers his last words:

"It is alright, Wyl... I understand... This should have been... my fate much sooner... At least... could it be you... who ends it and... who I see last... Forgive me, Earnest... My Wylfred..."

And as he breathes his last, a white feather falls from the sky and death claims him and myself the sin of killing my love. The last one that will ever be able to touch my inner self and move it to emotion, is now gone from this world forever. This love was embedded in our sins, yet my sin shall soon blacken the divine wings of the battle maiden, while his sin shall be forgiven.

Now I weep for you, now I cry for you, now I curse myself, even more so than the Valkyrie. Can you ever forgive me? And if not, then let my soul be dragged to you, so you can judge me. Please wait for me just a little longer, my love... Just a little until everything is done... Just a little, Darius...
