Not actually in TD yet... Not sure if it will be. xD If it's going to be there, it's going to be for the new version, 'causeI don't like how it is currently.
Not mine, their's. D: Sadness and woe.
oOoOo
"I won't let them find you" Ruka's hands wove patterns on the ground around him, dirty fingers leaving trails as she drew out a pattern-- the pattern-- on the ground.
He shuddered with fear as she turned to him, her hand hovering over one of the lines of the spell. "Stay still. I need to finish this. I won't let them find you, Asato. Just stay there-- if you don't-- if you don't, all this will have been for nothing."
He stared, and managed a sharp nod. He reached out to touch her hand where it hovered over the final line of the spell. "What about you?" He stared at her, begging her to tell him that she'll be all right; that everything will be alright.
She shook for a moment, face contorted with the memory of the others like her in the village. "When you wake up, I'll be gone. And you'll have to run-- get away from here. Go anywhere, but get AWAY." The desperation in her voice gained a reluctant nod of agreement from him.
"I won't forget you-- I'll stop them."
Ruka raised her hands to brush away tears, soot trails staining after her fingers. "I hope you can."
She worked in silence for a few minutes, careful despite her haste. The final set of kanji was almost complete when they heard it-- shouting, the dull thud of boots on the ground, the harsh rasp of men hustling men in their eagerness to advance.
Asato couldn't remember much after that; Ruka's hurried motions as he frantically tried to finish. The smell of blood, burning flesh. The laughter of the villagers-- dulled through the spell his sister had failed to finish.
Then he was alone. Not even a body to keep him company.
Just stains on the floor, and the echo of shadows cast on the wall.
oOoOo
