Written for (and entitled by) auntarctica. Go read her fics:O
The forests were never this silent.
Chattering birds and bugs, wind teasing the limbs of trees (even it can't upset his balance). Greenery everywhere, but today...
On the back of his neck -- fleeting, cold, and lonely. A look to the left: nothing. Closing his eyes, he sees white water.
Here.
Stretching his arm out, he tries to hold onto the remains of that intangible breeze; the inevitable, unwanted recollection stifles him until he feels like he's choking. Asphyxiation? Not how he went. No honour in being slain by an accident. No shame in dying at the hand of a comrade.
He's here.
But not today.
