On The Plus Side
The Second Law
He quietly contemplated just what it was about the woman before him that always set his will and determination to succeed back into motion.
Once admired by many, adored by thousands she know lives to play her beautiful music in this ghastly place. Each note is pitch perfect, but what would you expect from such a refined lady?
She lives for the music that sings in her soul, far to powerful to contain. It pours out of her every time she exhales. It is oh so sweet upon the soul, soothing, calming, lulling you almost to the point of unconsciousness. So deeply you fall into your soul you'd swear she was sending you to your death.
But what was the use when your only audience was compiled of the sinful undead? They can not understand how beautiful she really was.
It had nothing to do with the way she looked. He didn't need eyes to tell that she was pure of heart, wrongly dragged into this world of darkness as a hope to cleanse the souls of the wicked.
She played for them. Night after night to no avail. They only saw her outer beauty. They could not possibly appreciate the gentle, meek lady who only prayed for hope.
Hope.
It was such a desired words amongst the devil spawn than ran loose through these dark dank corridors of endless torment.
Hope for freedom.
Hope for long life.
Hope for death to end their suffering.
He required none of these. Not when he heard her soft voice cut through the haziness that had managed to creep up on him once again.
Once again she brought joy and courage to his heart, gracefully guiding him to his next destiny. His next life.
He had to walk by her to reach the sorely hated door to his rebirth. It had become routine to them now. He returned beaten and broken and she patched up the gaping holes in his heart that were gradually growing wider and deeper.
Nevertheless, she managed. A single word and a single smile set his heart on fire once more.
'I will, my Lady. Please, pray for me.'
He passed her swiftly, not wanting to taint her pureness with his presence a second longer.
That and he couldn't stand to see her cry.
The Second Law: Prayer is the answer to the Task the Lord has set you. The Lord must always be answered.
