Hey these were all written in between 16 and 17 on Spacebattles so i'll lump them together ;)

Another Heart: Goodbye

"I will miss this place. There is good memories here and...bad ones." the figure said aloud to no one, a cloak of dull grey covering his form, a rain coat of odd material. The rain coming down over the city meant that no one, if there was anyone around, would give the person a second glance.

The waves crashed over the sand as the weather turned more nasty. The figure started to walk away, stopped and turned to look back, out of sadness.

The wall, separating the path from the hill that lead down to the beach, was sturdy in its duty to stop the city from flooding, coming only up to hip level. In the grim overcast, a carving could be seen, made with simple rocks.

Two stars crossing each other mid flight, a trail of white following each, the leaf on one of the stars points showed it was some odd fruit. The names below had been furious scratched away in anger, not the figures, but another's.

The beginning of an A could be seen, but nothing else. The stars remained untouched and that allowed some hope for them. Hope for a proper reunion one day.

"If you ever need me..." they said softly. A thundering of steps came form behind and the cloaked figured turned to see a young man rushing to him. The rain made all his features droop and his overalls soaked.

"You're...him? You're her friend right?" He half panted, half demanded. The man nodded, not needing to ask whom he meant. For who else could have the other man meant?

"I hope so." he answered. The other man, not long stopped being a boy, stood and his hands balled into fists.

"You made her cry. She thinks you're gone forever!" He shouted and the man nodded, not appearing upset at being shouted at.

"And...I will be. Soon I will be a memory and then...not even that much." the figure explained, feeling the need to defend himself to someone. The young man almost snarled.

"You speak just like her, all these half words and meanings. I don't care, do me and her a favor, don't ever come back." He said over the noise of rain hitting the ground in endless drops. The cloaked man nodded.

"You won't remember me, so may I ask something before I go?" The man asked, his cloak drawn tighter. The other one nodded, wiping rain form his eyes.

"Will she be happy here?"

"She had all these plans, seeing your 'other' worlds, seeing the stars, everything! But she always wanted to come home. Always wanted to be here at the end." The young man said, his fists relaxing somewhat, so did the cloak figure.

"I see... thank you. I'm afraid this is the first and last time we'll meet. This world will be disconnected, lost from the darkness, cast from the light and all because I am selfish, for that, I entrust her to you. If she can ever bear to hear it...please tell her this." The man said and looked out to the ocean.

"There is more light inside our hearts than all the stars that we can see. If you ever feel alone, if you ever need me, just close your eyes and look inside. I'll be there, I promise." He said loudly and the young man stared at him in silence.

"She has heard this before, but... it helps to have it reinforced somewhat. Stubbornness of a bull that one." The man said with a visible smile.

He walked past the younger man without a word and when younger man turned to follow, he was stunned to see he was all alone in the falling rain.

He also didn't see one the carved stars glow on the ordinary wall, one of the angry scratches fading away, making more of the name slightly visible.

Just a little.

Another Heart: A Heart Alone

I have waited for so long. Even now, I fear time in a different manner. For what was once coming too fast is now tortuously slow.

The one is coming, between them and I, this world, this prison, this home, this haven, will be...

I cannot dwell on it, once again I felt it pulse behind me, just out of my sight, it has been so active recently, I wonder why?

Curiosity was once my sin, now even that is slipping from me. This was not how it was meant to be. I had plans, we had plans, but now I am cast out.

I pray, an ironic act for me, for the one to hurry. I pray for understanding, what has become of me? I pray for the end of it all.

I pray for darkness.
