VIRGIL
of saints and sinners, 
& monsters and men.


Virgil's senses were deemed not immediately critical by his body, and so they had dulled significantly as his blood and attention of his mind were given to more important areas, such as his lungs and the beating of his heart. So despite Hubris' seeming attempts at stealth, they were unnecessary. Virgil's murky sea-green stare was focused on Isopia. He didn't even really register the dragon's blast until he felt his knees begin to give way beneath his body, and curious tingling erupt in his chest. The sensation of a cold light, like sunlight filtering through ice, came over him and he barely felt himself hit the ground. There was no pain, not really. Well, there was of course, but it was distant. Like a howling wind a few miles away that rattles your windows and screams through the trees, despite the fact that you're still safe inside your home.

Virgil's body was not quite as complacent with dying as his mind was, and involuntarily his legs kicked out, throwing ash and shale towards Isopia, as his body tumbled towards the ground. The man could barely catch his breath, for Hubris' attack had done more than merely disrupt the beating of his heart. His lungs seemed unsure of how to do their job, and despite the fact that his mouth was open, only a trickle of air was being pulled into his jaws. Virgil blinked stupidly, unsure which way was up. If asked (and if he could have answered), he likely wouldn't have been able to describe the state of his body. It was all so confusing.

He could taste ash and heat in his mouth, and though the hush and darkness of midnight was all around them, Virgil only saw a blinding white light. His lips, far too far away from his core functions to work did not move, but it felt as though he was smiling. In the white-milky depths of his impending death, he wanted to thank Isopia. To ... offer some last sentiment of appreciation. But language now seemed like an island that had drifted off in the distance. He could make out its shape, but no discernable features. Instead, he merely internally exploded into an outpouring of love, wanting to blanket Isopia and Hubris - and most of all Ava - in an embrace so dense and thick that there would be no questioning what it was he was trying to communicate. 

"A-"

He couldn't get up, but nor did he want to.

"v-"

Heavenly father who art in heaven..

"ah-"

..hallowed be thy name
