The Tear
Van stood on a vine-covered balcony over looking the gardens of his palace. The scents of herbs and flowers reached up to meet him, their smells the perfect complement to the nightly orchestra.
It calmed him, and saddened him, because with each passing moment his longing grew stronger, and he gasped, it hurt him so much. He stared at the inlaid box before him, wondering if he was brave enough to open that part of his heart again, with the innocent blood that stained his hands.
Suddenly angry, he threw open the box and grabbed the pendant from its soft cushion, and was about to throw it and all it entailed into the night, when it suddenly pulsed, like a small candle.
He saw Hitomi, and his eyes widened, because she was standing on a rail, and just as suddenly she leaned back to be enfolded by ebony. Was this how she met her end? He wondered. Did she really take her own life those two long years ago? Why, why couldn't I save her? "WHY WASN"T I THERE FOR HER?!!!" He shouted angrily at the night.
In a moment of weakness he felt one tear slither down his cheek, burning like oil with his passion. He turned and jumped and that single, diamond tear fell upon the pendant. As his wings grew, layer upon layer of unearthly, glowing white, the pendant flashed, and everything was enveloped in blue light.
The sky opened above him, briefly covering the Mystic moon, that hung in the sky like a bubble or the finest glass, and in the midst of that azure light eh saw a figure, slowing floating to the ground on a cloud of feathers.
