A/n- just a little thing I cooked up in the shower. Set between the time of
2 deaths in the Dragon Castle walls and the time where Demon armies are
hell bent do destroy it. The mangas with the deaths aren't out yet so I
don't know all the facts, be nice.
-Silent Awakening-
I sat at my writing desk, my head in my arms. Silently wishing, wanting, that I was no longer in this cold stone coffin of life. They both were gone and I had done nothing to counteract their fate. We just stood there, mesmerized at the warm sticky blood flowing from their wounds onto the dry earth. Pooled in a sickening way that made my breath catch and tears sting my eyes.
A sob escaped my lips as I clenched my fists upon the mahogany wood. A silence hung over the castle, as if death itself had whipped away the cobwebs and was making a nest in our very souls. My blood and veins were on fire. A hatred for everything I saw and touched started to seep its way from my rash reasoning into my heart.
Kai-stern and Alfeegi were dead. What had we done? What had we actually done? I let out a harsh cry, the chair I had been sitting at clattered to the floor as I abruptly stood. Violently I swept my hand across the table. Ink bottles, a cup of water, and pretty glass objects that I had loved for many years crashed to the floor. The sound of the breaking glass echoed menacingly and sorrowfully around the stone chamber and died upon its walls.
At that moment, my heart died with it. Looking down upon my now cut up hand I brought it quickly to my mouth, trying to silence the pain with warmth. Suddenly, I realized the pain no longer hurt anymore. I was numb and even the pain of glass biting into my skin couldn't break it.
A wild idea came into my head and grabbed my gold letter opener off the desk. How far could I go before I felt the pain again? How much more would it take to send me to my knees?
The object glittered evilly by the candles set in high brackets on the wall. I brought it down to the skin of my wrist and started to push it into my veins, still, no pain.
"Ruwalk?" A worried male voice came from outside the door. "What's going on in there?"
I couldn't here the rest of the mans voice before I quickly brought the metal across my pale skin. It clattered to the floor along with red crimson spots splattering onto the floor. Instantaneous was the pain. My vision swam and I almost fell over was it not for someone behind me catching my frail body.
"Ruwalk? You idiot." The figure led me over to a chair and sat me down.
Tears were now flowing freely down my cheeks and mingled with the blood running down my wrists. The figure knelt and took out a piece of cloth, wrapping it around the hole in my skin. This act of kindness led me into another fit of weeping. The figure stood and wrapped its arms around me like a small child.
"Their dead Tetheus." I moaned against the leather of his jacket. "Their dead and I can't bare it."
"Don't worry Ruwalk. Were still here, and so is the Dragon Lord and the Queen. Don't give into the despair." His cool voice swam into my mind and calmed me slightly. No more Alfeegi running around the castle searching for a mischievous Kai-stern. No more lending Kai-stern money and getting an earful from Alfeegi. At that moment, Tetheus was all I had left. The only brother out of so many I had started with.
"Lets get you cleaned up by Cerenozura." He straitened up and helped me stand. "I know its painful, but we've got to be strong against this horde of demons. For their sake." I nodded feebly as he led me down the hall.
"Your right my friend, your right." And I knew that everything would eventually be okay.

a/n- well? Likey? Just a little short thing. R&R
