'Eternal love, immortal life' Chapter 2

Morpheus and Niobe stood, leaning against one of the only undestroyed railings around the seventeenth floor of Zion. They gazed around at the destroyed city in silence; it would be a very long time until they would be able to bring it back to its original state. Twisted metal lay strewn everywhere, and there were holes and burn marks in the walls, on the floors and in the red metal doors leading into cabins.

Morpheus sighed and looked down at his hands, gripping the guardrail mercilessly. Niobe looked over at him and sighed as well. It had scarcely been three weeks since the war was over, and the citizens of Zion were feeling a mix of depression and joyousness. Depression for the loved ones lost in the battle, and joyousness at the end of the war.

After what seemed like an eternity of silence, Morpheus spoke up. "I'm worried about him Niobe". There was a slight pause while Niobe gathered her thoughts. "I'm worried about Neo as well Morpheus, but he needs some grieving time, he did just lose the woman he loves" Morpheus sighed. "It was more than just love Niobe, it was his whole life". Niobe didn't respond, and they went back to staring into the destruction that was Zion.

Neo sat in the same dark cabin he'd been in non-stop for the past three days. He knew that if he didn't get up and get something to eat, he would probably die of starvation, but then again he didn't really care. It was strange to feel this depressed, this empty, this close to absolutely nothing. The cabin he was in matched his mood, cold, empty, dark, and lonely. There was no comfort for him. Sure he'd saved Zion, and ended the war, and brought peace between the two worlds, but that didn't seem to matter to him anymore. What mattered to him was Trinity, and she was lost, gone forever into the depths of unknown oblivion, into a place where he would never find her.

The worlds were at peace now, it was strange, the atmosphere was different. Neo thought quietly about what had happened in the machine world and his final battle with agent smith. He wondered what the machines were capable of, and if going back there was any use. He knew there was something stopping him from going over the edge, maybe it was hope, just a tiny little glimmer of it. Maybe, just maybe, there was still a way.

No.that was bullshit. Neo sighed desperately, clenching a sweat-soaked blanket In his fist. It was just so hopeless, and his mind searching out imaginary ways to get her back was useless.

He bit his lip and lay down on his cot, burying his face into a pillow. Totally useless.
