The shadow spirits disappeared and for a moment I was proud. I was proud that she was fighting for love, that she was fighting for everything that she believed in. It was a miracle, a step forward, and I was proud. At least, I was proud until these shadows came back and in full force. They clung to her. Clawing at her, tearing her apart. And she screamed, at first, but after a few of the tears the pain didn't even hurt anymore. It didn't even cause the searing pain it was all just numbing. She collapsed, body unable to hold herself as each of her limbs were broken and muscles to support herself were torn. Blood. A lot of blood. But, she could deal with it. She was fine. At this point, she had accepted that she would die. She had accepted that she wouldn't make it. "Midas. I love you. P-please don't for- forget that." Her breath was ragged, short and her voice was low, barely audible. There was no doubt that a lung was punctured in the struggle, but at least she had saved everyone else. "Amara… be strong. I'll always be with you -even if you can't see me. I'll be there…" a harsh cough, blood coming up and joining the puddle of blood that was already forming around her frame. "You too Reizend. I'll be here for all of you… You were all the reason I fought as hard as I did. You were all the reason I cared…" More coughing, her eyes starting to glaze over. She wouldn't make it much longer. It was time for goodbyes - no medic could save her, not in time. Not when she'd already decided that she was going to die. She could cling around just long enough for them. But she also wouldn't fight the angel of death that she could hear hovering around her already. And yet, she was sorry… So sorry that this had to happen. One or two more posts from me depending on what others have to say then she'll officially pass ^^ SEELE |

I quickly realize that fighting is futile, for how does one do battle with the air? Their screams pitch blackness into my mind, plunging fingers deep into my memories and dredging up the most painful, despairing things they can find. I shriek in fury and fear as they swirl around my horn, my hooves, anything that I attempt to strike them with. They are untouchable, unbeatable - not by mere mortals. And they will not stop until they have their feast, or their revenge, or whatever it is that they are after. I can make no sense of it, for though I hear the words, none of it makes sense.
Amara's fumbling flaps seem to send the monsters away; they do not aim for physical pain, then, as is apparent by their failure to land more than glancing blows upon me. No, they are here for the darkness that occupies every soul, their goal to bring it to the forefront and destroy the hope and love that exists in a body. I wonder if this will be my last fight, my last moments - will they stop after taking one of us, or are they a figment of the darkness that lies dormant in this land, waiting to retake our world from the gods' light? The shadows disappear and I pause, panting, momentarily hopeful; and then Seele's screams shatter my illusion. I turn to watch in horror as her flesh is ripped open, as blood pools beneath her hooves, as she falls, seemingly in slow motion. I cannot move, paralyzed by my terror and anguish; and when I do finally force my limbs into motion, it is as though I am moving through water, drowning as I try to force myself to her side. I open my mouth and a melody falls out, a fervent sort of chanting that glows in Seele's pure colour; her voice, though, when she speaks, interrupting my attempt to save her, is dim and dull. "Don't leave," I beg her, my eyes overflowing. "I didn't - we didn't - we aren't finished!" There is so much left for us here, so much left to learn of each other, so much left to share. "I - I love you, sister." I resort to humming then, for I can no longer form words - but I know that I cannot fix this, that all my magic could pour into her broken form and still it would not be enough. Her injuries are too many and too serious. I will sing her into her death.

i won't be saved
the shadows are gone, leaving me stumbling blindly with my body aching and eyes flickering forth to find nothing but echoing screams and splashing crimson. the earth stained in deep red, pools of it gathering in the corners of my vision as i watch with horror as the shadows leap to midas, clawing and tearing viciously in an attempt to injure. my body trembles, my eyes wide as i watch with horror. in the instant they're upon midas they peel away, dispersing. the silence grows, my body prepared to collapse as my heart pounds furiously, eyes wide with fear and my mind anxious for another attack. sameira remained at my heels, snarling and snorting with her lip curled up in a sign of aggravation. and just like that, the shadows return. they are strong, wailing and crying as they drag seele by the hair, and my body tightens and my knees shake. i watch as they tear her apart, her blood spilling over the earth before my hooves. i try to move, i try to run to her, to flap my wings and scream at the beasts that crawl over the ground to reach her, black fingers peeling away at her flesh, her bones snapping and crunching. my skin tingles, my stomach knotting as i hear the sound of flesh torn and pulled from snapping, breaking bones. it seems like forever, just like a dream, watching seele's body being torn apart, my mouth gaped open in a silent scream and legs stuck to the ground. sameira yips at me, panicked towards the emotions that begin to erupt from me as i watch seele's bay crumble, legs swept from beneath her. "SEELE!" my cry is broken, emotions tumbling from my lips and smoldering the words i try to speak. i race to her side, stumbling forward and crashing onto my knees with my vision blurred and body burning with rage and fear, my anguish ringing out in a long, heart wrenching cry that falls from my lips. i look at her, sobbing as i meet her dulling amber eyes, turning to look pleadingly at reizend and midas. "please you have to help her! please! she needs a doctor! someone get a doctor! don't just stand there! HELP HER!" my voice cracks, lungs heaving as my throat closes up, body trembling uncontrollably as i look at seele. she can't die, i can't accept it. call me selfish for saying it, but i need her. i can't live without her. she's my mother, and if she dies that means that i've lost them both. gods please help me. "you'll be okay, you'll be okay." i don't know whether i was telling myself that or if i was telling seele, but in either situation i know it won't help. as her words are spoken, my name falls to her lips for what will likely be the last time. i watch midas go to her other side, wing opening before her with the metallic clinks of metal folding inward the only sound to be heard for several heart beats. burying my head into the bloodied tufts of her mane, my tears falling from my eyes as i open my mouth to let go a gross wail, throat tight with sorrow and pain. "i can't lose you, please don't go." i whisper, choking up my words with long drawls of gasping in between. in a childish voice, one resembling a child calling for her lost mother, i let a name slip out, a name that seele deserved. she holds true to the name, even if she believes she doesn't. the name falls from my lips pleadingly, begging for her to stay and be with me in just a single name, "mommy." tags • notes

i won't be saved
my stomach twists and churns, body shaking uncontrollably as seele tells me they can't help, my lip quivering and mouth gaping as i try to talk but let out nothing but a weak whimper. my tears run down my cheeks, my eyes blurry and everyone barely a shape, more of a collage of colours milling around me. my body is locked in place, my emotions spilling everywhere as anguish and the horrific reality of it all comes crumbling down upon me. i'm trapped thrashing and screaming, wanting nothing more than to watch seele open her eyes again and smile and her wounds to dissipate, laughing and telling us it was some illusion magic she had just gained. but it wasn't. this was truly how it was, my second mother had been torn from my fingers almost as fast as my first one had. my sides ached as i coughed and sputtered, choking on tears and the knot of heartbreak. i only had one other in this world, it was just sikeax now. i was too stupid and weak and shy to go anywhere and socialize with anyone. i lay with my face buried in seele's mane, sobbing more than i've ever sobbed before. i can feel my entire being sink and shiver with each stuttering gasp i draw in. the skin of my forehead burns where seele had touched it, brain numbing and body losing all sense of feeling in everywhere but that warm spot where seele's muzzle had touched, leaving droplets of blood soaked into my russet coat. i felt the mood sink as seele's final breath escaped her lips, i could feel the warmth of her body seep into the earth, my mouth gaping open as i let go a series of screams, her name blending in with them, barely audible as i thrust my face back into her mane, my heart stuttering and lungs heaving as i look up at midas. "i want her back. i want her back! she didn't have to die for us! we could've fought them off together, but- she's dead- she's dead she's dead oh my gods she's dead, oh no," something deep down overcomes my being, my mind growing darker as seele's limbs grow stiff and her soul drifts through the wind. looking into the sky with my lips dripping with a venom many know as rage, i snarl at whatever cloud was passing by. "bring her back! bring her back!" i scream again, voice quivering as sameira sits down at the edge of the trees, giving out a low howl to match the pitch of my wails. i feel the waves of panic and emotion drowning me, heart racing and breath shaky as i wonder what sort of impending doom the earth has in store for me. would i too die as seele did, broken and bloodied beyond repair with those who loved me watching me die? but no one loved me, i'm not even sure sikeax did anymore, after what happened i still feel this heavy feeling of guilt and regret, fearing she still hates me for what i'd done to her as a wraith. my breathing is cut short as i choke and cry, rocking myself with waves of anguish and the realization that she's dead brings my walls crumbling down. i move forward, stretching my neck out and tediously placing my mouth around seele's fragile glass horn, and with a pounding heart began twisting my neck, feeling the glass crunch beneath my teeth until i had gained a small portion of the tip of her horn. feeling the bits of glass that had been shattered roll on my tongue, i place the piece of her horn between my feet before spitting out the shards. i look up at midas, eyes dulled and uncaring as i pick up the piece of horn, maneuvering my body so that i could stand and turn around. reaching down i pull a thick clump of seele's red hair from her tail, gathering it up alongside the portion of horn before straightening up and moving back a few steps, the corners of my lips quivering as i turn tail and run from midas and reizend, my sobs muffled by the items in my mouth. abba said it was ok if amara took a lil' bit of her horn & hair <3
