Revelations

I passed swiftly through the silent icy street of Uschtenheim, pressing north.

As I was passing even more bodies, a thought struck me. Janos had vowed to guard and protect the Reaver, so did that not make him my guardian as well? I WAS the spirit of the reaver, the very being of the blade..

With this thought in mind I continued with a little more urgency, I had ties to Janos now, more than before.

I couldn't help but twitch involuntarily as I passed the beacon at the steps marking the once grand entrance to Janos' home. It stole a part of me, useful though this was, the experience was not really one I enjoyed.

I gazed up at the ruined eyrie, and I could not help but feel saddened. The destruction I had wrought. Janos.

I realised then, that I was in a bit of a fix. I was stuck here to some degree. I could not proceed to travel further north, lest I climbed a mountain. Believe me I tried, the rock was unnaturally smooth and far to hard for me to get a purchase in using my claws. I did not want to give up, it wasn't my style, but it looked like my quest was going to turn that way.

I decided on a whim to enter Janos' eyrie once more. I can honestly say that I am not too sure why. Maybe to see Janos' once more or perhaps it was the silence of the eyries halls that I sought. A place to think.

I opted to swim in. The path in through the base of the platform was still blocked with unmoveable debris. I surfaced at yet another beacon, and.. I won't elaborate. As I made my way up this chamber and through into the next, I felt sicken somewhat that this was my doing, I had set down an easy path to Janos' death.

I slowly walked through the gaping doors, doors that I should have had the sense to seal before continuing. There was no sense in closing them now..

I entered Janos' chamber, and met an oppressive silence. My footfall was muffled completely by the thick strip of carpet, the fire was out, nothing stirred. I halted a few feet from the ancients body and allowed by gaze to settle upon him.

It took me a good few minutes to notice that his body had been laid out properly, his garments fresh and the gaping wound cleaned.. How?

Echoing footsteps.

I was not alone here..

HEY!! You complain when I don't write, but then when I do, you bash me as well!!

Chibi-Vash: It's not that. The end. That was, mean.
