Hey guys and gals, I am here to bring you the next chapter of Empty Clouds. I'm sorry that it's basically been forever since I've updated, but I've focused on school so please forgive me, anyway here it is, enjoy.
Ragna was walking through a forest; trees scarred a singed lifeless green, burnt leaves were left scattered and danced gracefully and softly on the gentle zephyrs that carried them. It looked familiar to him, but at the same time it wasn't. It was bringing tears to his eyes as he continued to walk forward. He looked around as his foot took him into a clearing where the life of the forestry there was devoid of any kind of growth. He looked up wiping his eyes and the tears that were still forming with the sleeves of his jacket. "Damn it, why do these tears keep forming," he growled angrily at himself as the wind ripped the words from his mouth and whipped them at his own ears. He stopped dead in his tracks when he came across an empty clearing that bore scorched earth, where neither grass nor weeds would grow. He looked at it, as he gasped in anguish he saw that there was an old burned building that once stood there. He knew this area all too well, he knew of the tragic and horrific crimes that got committed at this place. He knew that it was the Church where we grown up for the first part of his life. His mind flashback to the times he spent with Saya and Jin. He remembers how sick Saya was and how much jealousy he had because of her. "Damn it, I'm sorry Celica, I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you!"
The wind whipped violently against his jacket, yet carried words of a voice long forgotten. "It's alright Ragna, it was fate for me to die there, please don't hold yourself accountable for it." The wind whispered softly yet calmly into his ears as tears began to streak down his cheeks. The tears soon fell from his jaw line and the gently zephyrs whipped them away from his face and carried them away.
"At least let me make amends," he whispered back somberly, trying not to break into uncontrollable sobs. He walked over to a tree and gently broke off two branches and grabbed some vines. He walked in front of the remains that laid there, perfectly motionless. He stabbed the larger branch into the ground and placed the second branch about three-fourths from the bottom and tied the vine around it making a cross to represent her grave. He kneeled down in front of the cross hanging both of his arms from the horizontal piece of the cross. "There you go Celica; sorry you had to wait for so long for someone to make you a gravesite." He said as he let out a sorrowful chuckle and got up with his head hung low. He pulled up the collar of his jacket and held it close to him as he started to slowly walk away from the new gravesite and the Church of Celica A. Mercury.
The wind gently wrapped itself around his abused ears and whispered ever so slightly and gently into them. "Thank you for your kindness Ragna." He dropped his head even more as tears continued to roll down his face and off of his jaw, hitting the scorched earth underneath his feet. He couldn't take all the sorrow anymore and busted out into a full-fledged sprint away from the area.
