Midas

Your heart strikes the gold in me

A battle was wagged, a fray without the use of steel or teeth. One such fight I had witnessed only once before, between death and Cera; at that time I had been helpless to aid. Onni had to become the Angel of light, his salvation and mine—because if I had lost my beloved child that day, a different man might have emerged. The silver glow returned slowly to this mythical babe, her red seeping disease fled as earth worked its wonders upon the flesh. Apollo shone brightly today, his talent would do something that only a few others seemed able to muster; a talent that warriors could only gap at.

Finally it was finished and the patient took to resting. Her tiny chest rose and fell peacefully. “Thank you brothers.” Fina shifts her gaze as I did to stare at the smiling buck. Suddenly the world began to melt away and the trees seemed to cry out with their beautiful voices ringing. A gold light surrounds us, blinding light that causes me to squint and lower my lashes responsively. It only lasts a moment, and then we are standing back in the field of flowers and wild grass. Heavenly field.

My limbs are stiff, almost expecting the soil beneath our feet to pivot. Of course it did not, at least I wasn’t the only one unsettled by the sudden change of location. Fina had fallen forward and was currently latched onto my shoulders as if it was her last anchor. Silently I nudge her painful claws from my flesh, ‘ouch...’ I utter through our bond and she unwillingly gentles the touch.

“We…We’re back.” My bottomless pool slither toward him, “It would seem so.” It wasn’t a disappointed statement, or even one of gladness, like his first sentence it was merely a statement of facts. Curiously I glanced around, no sign of the stag or the strange bunny, “Do you feel different, Midas?"Honestly, I felt as if my mind had just awakened from a dream, “I’m full of questions….where was that Apollo?” Could we have just seen the afterlife? The spiritual plane of those that had been lost?
