Chapter 14 :The tomb of the unknown soldier
Seryu
I wasted no time when after doctor stylish treated me but the second I was about go into a search and rescue, the doctor forbids me from leaving so. As I watched the city be engulf in ice and snow, felt my metal hands up against my face in horror, worried and scared. Blue is still trap in that city. I took look around at my surroundings and all I saw the Calvary men that brought me here standing beside me, but the doctor was nowhere to be seen. I've finds myself jammed, my heart wants to go but my trust in the doctor wants the opposite and I just don't have the strength to—" come on let's go, I got friends in there that needs help" I turn towards the men out of surprise, unexpected but yet I'd followed him to his to horse, no questions asked and with no doubt in my mind as we rush towards the city.
Fallhaven ruins…
The air is cold and with so much ice radiating it to the extent that moisture in the air turned to snow. This city that once was consumed in chaos of war, peace had suddenly returned but not in manner many would hope to dream of. walking down the very roads that many fought and bleed for. Trespassing through without being contested but watched under city's chilled silence. This is a grave city and the living aren't welcome here. Seryu kept her hands close to the chest. There been times when she felt unease, discomfort and scared to think of what she might find. being here now and without blue at her side for the first time, perhaps in a very long, she dosen't feel…safe. Couldn't help but to think back when she a child. Being in bed but couldn't sleep, fear that monsters would come out of closet and eat her then her father would in a vain attempt to assure her that there's was no such thing as monsters. The Calvary soldier, with one hand he held his horse close to the chest and the other held on to his saber. Where ever he looked he feels that they're walking in a still picture. Fights and battles suddenly stop. It's was unnatural to him, even a seasoned veteran like him feels unease about this place. He also knew at that point they weren't going to found survivors. He went to take a seat on a nearby street bench that can still serve it's purpose. As he seat quietly, deep in thought. This place being here had give him a metaphorical insight of his grand general esdeath.
He had come to two prospects. One, a cold void Abyss that consumes all in it's wake or possibly that much like the poor souls here. A prisoner of this cold void, trap beneath the ice, even as some one as powerful as her doesn't have that sparking ember to break free from the ice to know life outside of the cold. But he's not sure which would be the truth, this civil war has change everybody. Made saints into demons and made demons into saints. Bad people to good, good to bad. Seryu broking off away from the Calvary men in search of her partner. She goes to the place where he was last seen and much to what she feared, blue has been taken captive. She starts looking around for anything that might bring her close. She noticed the armament that she equipped to blue was laying not far where he had fell. She examines it and notices it wasn't treated with care when it was removed, which meant blue wasn't treated with care as well. Seryu hand balled up. Closer examinations, she noticed something partially covered in snow scrape marks from the fraction between metal and rock and small driplets of black fluid. With haste seryu fellows suit.
The hopes and excitement build within her, she going to free blue from the bad guys and return to their nice and pleasant workshop, fixing up blue from all damage he has endure in delight as symbolic gesture of thanks then they'll go back out into the streets hunting and punishing criminals stopping by for some ice cream on breaks. But her world was shatter like glass. On a road not far from the high lords tower seryu found who she looking for but not what she wanted see. People frozen like action figures in middle of a fight and blue was at the center. " no ,no, this isn't fair" she sees him kneeling on his bad leg while pointing his six shooter at the enemy. There some was rope tied around his leg and arm that failed to bind him while he was being transported but there was something else seryu notice and it hiding behind blue, what she saw. She put her hand over mouth in a gasp.
There was 3 children, a little girl among them was hold on with both that wrapped in fine cloth. Seryu didn't want to guess what it was. As blue was shielding them from danger before ice had consume them both. Her world had turn on it head, she couldn't make any sense of it. What did blue do to deserve this? He protects people from wicked evil and blue protected these children so they must be innocent, he shouldn't get punish for it, so why should, should-. Seryu couldn't finish the line of thought because of one truth all of these was done and only could be done by esdeath and seryu heart demands justice, she demands retribution and seryu reflection coming off of ice on blue's head, fire was burning strong in her eyes and there was angry tears running. The Calvary soldier followed seryu foot prints In the snow till he saw another group of people frozen and noticed seryu wasn't here her tracks went else where but then he took a look at the iron golem and a blue orb brightly appear as the soldiers taken a step back in surprise " of all the time I've spent in army no human being has ever survived esdeath wrath but I guess that dosent apply to a machine as well"
