Day 6.5: "My lady!" The cry of worry echoed throughout the bright kingdom as the angel rushed up countless steps to the holy throne. If it had been possible for an angel to sweat or run short of breath he'd have been plagued by both. He stopped at the fiery doors and pushed them open reveling a white marble throne room bathed in golden light with a women dressed in red sitting at it's center. Humbling himself he moved towards the center of the room and fell onto his knees. She looked at him emotionlessly as she waited for his heart to still in her presence.
"My lady, he has broken the seal…" She stood smoothly and with grace as she then moved slowly down the stairs from her throne. He looked down as her movement drawing near sent a feeling of fear and comfort all at once through the being of light. She stopped once she was before him, her form towering in comparison.
"I am aware." Her voice was soft and sang as if a calming melody. He spoke without glancing upward, fear she might burn him to cinders with her eyes burning in his chest.
"What shall we do your holiness?" She continued to observe the angel before her, a poor replacement for her Ishmael. She wondered briefly if he ever thought of her in his raping of nurses and pillaging of victims. It was the one thing she blocked from her omnipotence; his feelings regarding her, him period. She liked to have some form of mystery in her existence. But she had felt the moment he had broken the seal upon himself, their agreement had broken in that instant. But she knew also he'd be unconscious till morning on the earth and she'd rather him be awake to face the consequences of his actions.
"Seal off Silent Hill, no one leaves or enters. I will have no need for a vessel." She spoke calmly climbing the stairs to her throne before seating herself. Sensing she was far enough that her eyes wouldn't burn him the angel looked up in shock and dismay.
"Your majesty if you go down without a vessel the earth will—" She raised a hand silencing him. After a moment of silence she spoke once more.
"Before you seal the town, bring Abdiel to me. He goes by Valtiel in that place, the mortals prefer that name." The angel without speaking nodded his head and stood, giving a quick bow before he left. The goddess looked off to the side in thought, Ishmael the only one to ever betray her. He had sworn never would he spread his wings again, and yet…the goddess didn't know it was still in her to feel…to feel that of pain.
Shlinda woke first, her head pounding infernally as she moved it to look around herself. A house nearby was nothing but rubble now with Pyramid laying unmoving in front of it. She glanced down at her sleeping brother and back at the monster before her, she wouldn't let Darren be harmed. Gently and with weak hands she nudged him till his eyes opened.
"We need to leave." Shlinda whispered in a cracked voice. Slowly Darren nodded and stood shakily while reaching to help his sister to her feet. The night here was hard to tell as the fog lit the place, the street lamp's light bouncing of off it. With a limping Shlinda Darren inched them slowly pass Pyramid and then began to almost drag his sister to where he had parked his car. For almost an hour Darren was frightened that he had gotten them lost before he finally spotted his Cadillac. He glanced at Shlinda who had her arm around his shoulders.
"Still with me?" At a weak nod he rushed her across the deserted parking lot and quickly swung open the passenger door. Laying his seat flat he placed her in the seat and stretched her out before shutting the door. His mind was in a blur as he entered his car and locked it before starting the engine, how did his sister get into these tight spots? He pulled out slowly and began to drive towards the exit of town his heart racing. He began to calm and looked at his sister who was breathing steadily with a light chuckle at the craziness that had just occurred. Looking back to the road his mind slowed, there was a little girl in the middle of the street. Quickly he swerved and skidded the car sideways, the vehicle was now out of control. Trying to straighten he yelled as they spun towards a dead drop off. Suddenly a light flashed right before the cliff and the car came to an instant halt the last thing Darren knew was the sickening sound of his skull snapping as he went head first into the steering wheel.
Alessa walked up next to the passenger door and while humming clicked it open. They were to close for Shlinda's brother to ruin it all now. Surprisingly easy the girl lifted Shlinda from beside her unconscious brother and began to carry her back to Pyramid head. Having her run again and causing another rift was not on the agenda now. As Alessa turned down the alley she noted two grey children surrounding Pyramid. Stopping she waved them off and made sure they were completely gone before setting Shlinda down stretched onto her back.
"It's all on you now Shlinda." She whispered before vanishing into the shadows. Shlinda stirred just enough to hear Alessa's words and watch her through slanted eyes vanish, her eyes slid slowly to Pyramid head's form. Though she worried for Darren she felt as if she was bound for death without Pyramid's help, slowly and painfully she turned to her side and slid two painful inches closer to the monster. Her insides felt on fire and yet her body numb just the movement had sent her vision spinning.
"Py…ra..mid…." She mouthed before passing out, the slow movement of Pyramid's helm and a slight scraping sound the last she knew.
