- Those Left To Linger -
On the plains of the Graveyard, time means nothing.
It stretches to the endless where an hour seemed a month, where a year seemed a minute.
The guardian of this world has long lost any feeling for it. Time has stopped mattering to him.
The Graveyard is an abandoned world; there is nothing left here but howling winds that try to eat at his armor and the half mad whispers of the thousand abandoned blades, whose owners once waged war, so very, very long ago.
But even half mad whispers have stories to tell and so the guardian listens as he waits - his existence one of muddled thoughts and memories left behind and carrying on, when his heart and body had fallen and as he listens to the whispers around him, listens and learns as he continues to stand guard, and still the only thing he remembers for sure, is his enemy's name.
He will recognize him when he appears before him; and he willone day, the guardian is sure of that.
Sometimes in his clearest moments he recalls the faces of those he holds dear - though he never forgets their names either, a rumbling whisper echoing through the graveyard as he calls for them, tries to cling to these connections, these memories until they are lost in the haze again.
Even as he waits, all he truly knows is rage.
One day his enemy will return.
And maybe then... after that...
One day, he will... definitely...
