INCARNATE
The Watchers
"He is awake, then." The voice had an accent attributed to the upper classes of society, an image maintained by the long blue gown the speaker was wearing. Blonde curls fell in curls down the woman's shoulders, and deep dark blue eyes looked into the distance.
"YES. CIRCUMSTANCES FORCED IT." Another stood next to the woman, face covered in a dark tattered hood. The speaker was undeniably male, with a voice deeper and melodious than most early voices. He wore navy, with black leather gloves and boots. Impossibly bright green eyes seemed to survey an invisible opera.
"So, you interfered?" The woman sounded shocked. Shadows darkened her face as sparks of what appeared to be anger reflected in her eyes.
"NO. I PETITIONED TRUTH AND HE ALLOWED IT." As quickly as they had come, the shadows vanished.
"Good. The only one who can interfere closely in this matter is Chaos and her allies. We can only make sure what must happen, happens."
"I KNOW, FATE. WE BOTH KNEW THAT THIS WAS COMING, HAVE KNOWN SINCE THE FIRST BETRAYAL OF LIFE'S. THOUGH YOU DID BRING UP A GOOD POINT ABOUT CHAOS."
"What about her, Death?"
"WE MAY REQUIRE HER INTERFERENCE IN THIS MATTER. LIFE IS LIKELY TO NOT BE THINKING CLEARLY ABOUT WHAT HIS AWAKENING MEANS, OR WHAT IT IS DOING TO HIM."
"Good reasoning." Fate let out a lengthy sigh. "I will fetch her. She and Life have been allies for a long time; she was most upset with his punishment. She is likely to have been waiting for an opportune moment to interfere with Life for years…"
The blonde woman turned, vanishing in a swirl of grey smoke. The other figure repeated the movement, mirth dancing in his eyes. "HOME SOON, BROTHER MINE. YOU ARE RETURNING AS I SPEAK." Then he was gone, into the shadows, like an elegant thief down a dark alley.
A.N.: A little bonus drabble, to celebrate the fact that my GCSEs are over for this year! :D
[Of course, I still have coursework to do that's worth 40 marks, but whatever.]
Yay, you're meeting the other half of Ed's extended family! Liking them so far? If you have any criticism about my O.C.s or the story in general, please review! Actually, please review anyway!
Thank you for reading!
