Character: Sloth
Her Time
She remembered a lot of things.
There was her time inside the gate. The sweet, all encompassing nothingness, smothering her senses and freeing her from her suffering.
There was her time after the gate. After she had been brought back by the two mortals, nothing more than children, who had so foolishly sacrificed so much, only to recoil upon seeing her mutilated form. There was her time amongst her brethren, the only beings willing to accept her.
There was her time of vengeance. Her hunt to destroy the humans who had brought her into existence, who haunted her memories of a life she'd never lived; of an existence she'd never grasped.
There was her time of death, at the hands of the very same child who had brought her into the world, who she had tried so hard to kill, whose laugh echoed in the depths of her mind, as she remembered who she was supposed to be.
There was her time of forgiveness. As her artificial life slipped between her fingers, she remembered who the boy was. Who he really was. Her son…
"Edward…"
There was her time of peace, when her suffering was finally over, and she was back where she started.
The Gate.
The beginning and the end of everything.
