《Bound in the Dark》Rearing Itself - Chapter 6
Advertisement
Shadows POV:
I find myself staring at this lifeless corpse, staring into its lifeless eyes...
While I feel devoid of all emotion, the only thing that I feel is sadness and anger. I cry while looking at what I see before me...
Blight....
Dead Blight.
I know that it's an accident but I feel so much hatred right now and at the person who took her away from me.
"WHY? Why were you here Blight? Why'd you come here? This town isn't safe for you. Wait. Is this my fault? I shouldn't have talked about taking you to town with me. Maybe you knew what I was talking about. DAMN IT! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE EVERYHING FROM ME, YOU FUCKING STUPID WORLD, I HATE EVERYTHING! EVERYONE! I HATE IT ALL. I just... fucking hate it all. This isn't fair. Life isn't fair. What did I do to deserve this. I have nothing left anymore. No one. Nothing."
I clutch Blight so close to me, feeling like I'd never let go but even I know what must be done now, as I cry and cry I take her to some place where I can bury her. I take her back to where we met... and start digging her grave. I dig and continue digging until the pit where the last bit of happiness I had will go. I get out and pick Blights corpse up then slowly place her down into her resting place. As I do this the tears have never stopped flowing. I just can't stop crying.
Once I'm done burying her... I'm doing the same with my emotions. I'm burying them... I'm done... feeling.
"Wherever you are voice. You can take control of me for whatever reason, you can do as you please."
I say this but nothing happens, no one shows up and no one says anything, it's just me and the silence between.

I sit there next to Blights resting place. As I look at the grave. I begin to feel devoid of EVERTHING. This is where I give up. No more pain, no more suffering. No more, anything.
I sit even longer staring at the night sky while silence continues to befall me. I sit still in this quiet and desolate place while I wait, for what I don't know. The stars fade, the moon disappears and I then begin to see the night sky turn to day. As the sun rises I get up and start walking. Walking to the empty place I call home. Once I get there I lay in bed and start thinking about Blight:" What did Blight even mean to me? Why'd that even happen, why'd I have to get so attached. I know that everything doesn't last, so why'd I think the happiness would stay. I want to know WHO TOOK AWAY MY HAPPINESS."
I can hear it now, it's finally back, like I've been wanting. It's saying...
"I know the answer to that, boy."

Fallen
Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.
