Cold…. So cold…
I opened my eyes to a world of white.
There was nothing.
Nothing but the cold whiteness.
…..
Ash….
Death…..
Black.
The memories hit me like an earthquake. They were gone. Everything was gone.
Gone.
The black snow fell from the sky as the monsters flew above us. Killing. Everything. The others ran, but nothing could save them. They all turned into sand. They were covered in black stars, then they were just gone. Replaced by a pile of clothes and dust.
I pushed myself up onto my hands and knees. The air caught in my throat as I turned to see what lay behind me.
The buildings burned. Flames licked at our heels as we ran, we couldn't do anything. Everything burned.
I hardly even felt myself stand. My unsteady feet pulled me into the town I knew so well, down the roads I had traveled many times before. My hands felt heavy, and I looked down to see that they were still clenched around my swords, they were too stiff to move, but what worried me most was the blue tinge of my fingertips.
I looked down and saw the blades that had just finished being forged, glow a strange green. I screamed as a monster appeared around a corner, father pushed me behind him as i pointed my sword at the monster, in a vain attempt to protect us.
I kept moving forwards, even though I knew what I would see. Snow had fallen, and the ash had turned grey under the blowing ice. I tried not to see the red shadows as I walked through the broken houses.
The blade whipped out, and slashed through the monster. Somehow it killed it. But nothing else could even touch them! How could this happen? The blade whipped back into my hand, and returned to it's original hue.
Everything was in ruins, nothing stood.
I remembered the horrid creatures that had come, ripped everything apart, and killed…. Killed everyone. My father and I would've escaped, if that exorcist hadn't come along. He was reckless, I wondered if he was even human, as his face was constantly covered by a strange mask. It was his fault that I was now alone.
I reached out and tried to grab father's hand. I was too late, he was gone. In his place was a fallen arch. My voice wouldn't work as i choked and tried to pull the stones off him. Even though i knew that there was no way that he could've survived. I looked up through my tears and saw him. The exorcist. His sword had collapsed the arch. He was the reason i was alone.
"This is so fun!" he shouted as he swung again and again, unheeding the screams below. "Come on akuma! You call this a challenge!?"
I started to shake as I collapsed to the floor. The cold seemed to have penetrated my soul. I tried to move my hands, and eventually managed to drop my swords.
i looked down as I stuffed my numb hands into my armpits. The blades looked just as they should. But, how could they? They had changed when those monsters attacked. They had turned a strange green, and somehow, broke into shards and was then elongated onto a chain… As if they were long sharp whips.
I ran as the monsters converged on the exorcist. There was nothing i could do. Father had told me to run. So i ran.
my swords had done the same thing as the exorcist's had, were they somehow the same? The idea disgusted me. I didn't want to be like him. I couldn't. I couldn't kill like him. I had heard stories of exorcists, but they had all been whispered, as if they were to be feared.
They killed demons, perhaps Akuma, that's what he had called them. That's all I knew for sure, there had been rumors of their weapons glowing a light green. Was I one of them? One of the ones they call accommodators? If I was, then I was sure they'd be looking for me.
i couldn't become one of them. I didn't want to fight their war, especially if that included killing innocent people, even if they didn't try, I now knew what they left in their wake.
Death
Ruins
Ash
Nothing.
