Title: Celestial Frost Fear
Fear such a beautiful malevolent word
Like oil
Coating your skin
Drawing breath
Squeezing your lungs
Wrapping icy claws around your heart
As Nodt knew that bitter taste
Felt it
Lived in that overwhelming darkness
Now he relished it
This domain
Bestowed by that heavenly light
Heika who had torn that fear
Given it to his hands
Let him play with the hearts of others
Such fragile and broken things
Like the icy eyed wrench
Staring death warmed over
Icy claws grasping the handle of
Soul cutters
They bestowed fear on all Quincy
That such slaughter would rise
Streets bathed in crimson
And the cloudy skies
Awash with blue reaitsu
As Nodt wants them to taste his fear
The fear of his kin
Long past
His heavy fear of death
Weighing his shoulders
Chasing his nights
But they have no fear under Heika's cloak
Heavy warmth in the cold palace they once hid in
They are clashing
Mind and spirit
Then brilliant light
Cold
Icy hands grasp at his legs
Pulling at the threads of his sanity
Tearing ripping
The very air frozen
Some angel
Pure white frost descended before him
Fear courses through him
Seemingly induced by celestial forces
It chokes
Pounds in his head and heart
No
Bury it far away where it won't touch him
But it's creeping
Crawling
Cold ice trailing his spine like shivers of water
He hates it
Frothing spitting mad
This ending such a bitter race
It is consuming him
Everything a kaleidoscope
Frozen fractures
Vision darkening
Looking up through the frozen roof of a pond
Trapped with his fear
Twin eels curling around his body
Strangling pitiful life from his lungs
He is so afraid
And there is no end
Frost creeps like night
All things black and terrible
Symbolized by this pale being
He surrenders with terrorized cries.
