So, I've decided to try out this new idea - after every story, I'm going to throw in the backstory as to how this story came about!
OK, for everyone who hasn't figured this out, I stole the title from an AMAZING song that I was listening to during my exam week, just when I started to post on this account.
Song Title: Falling Away
Artist/Band: Amber Pacific
Lyrics:
"I'm on my last breath
who'd have thought it'd be me
I'm leaving behind
love
life
family
I'll say these last words I'll fight the pain from within
the bleeding won't stop
I'll stop to take this all in
When it comes down to this
A scene that we've seen before (A scene that we've seen before)
I won't let you go
I won't stand to watch
as these walls start
to fall apart
I'm falling away
Away from your arms
that kept me so close
to the things that I love
I'm holding it back
take me back to your heart
A place to remember
I'll always be yours
The warmth from your hands
as they hold me so close
I'm losing this fight
now I need you the most
I'll wait for the time
though my days running thin
I'll count down the clock
I'll stop to take this all in
When it comes down to this
A scene that we've seen before (A scene that we've seen before)
I won't let you go
I won't stand to watch
as these walls start
to fall apart
I'm falling away
Away from your arms
that kept me so close
to the things that I love
I'm holding it back
take me back to your heart
A place to remember
I'll always be yours
I'm falling away
Away from your arms
that kept me so close
to the things that I love
I'm holding it back
take me back to your heart
A place to remember
I'll always be yours
A place to remember
I'll always be yours"
It's up to you whether or not the lyrics fit the story~
Alright, the reason I started writing Falling Away was because well...it was originally just going to be all AU, but then when I was writing it, I was like, 'Wow, it would be kinda cool if Lucia swooped in and stole Elie away...but why would he do that if she doesn't have Etherion?!' Hence how she magically gained Etherion.
Also, I felt REALLY bad about how I made Elie's life turn out. D: Over thirty families in seventeen years...that's harsh. But, like I said, the plan was to make her life as bad as if she HAD Etherion, since she didn't originally have it. And when she did get it, it just sorta stuck.
Yeah, I left Gale and King outta of the picture. Well, they both died before Haru got a chance to meet em'. Sorry for any Gale/King fans.
Well, what did you guys think of this story? I'm fairly proud of it, but there are some iffy spots..."/ Just tell me what you guys think, OK~
Again, thanks SO MUCH for reading~ I'll update other stories as soon as I can~~
(Btw, if I die before I can upload the second chapter of The Letdown, blame the immense storm heading way and my city's inability to cope with snow. x3)
