《The Fallen Council》XXII
Advertisement
[··--·· ··--·· ··--··]
The floor was cold, the whole room was cold. Eyes closed, she laid there. Didn't move, didn't breath, didn't even live. Everything was dark, only light was her glowing white body. The door was closed, it had always been. The room was soundless, nothing could break the silence. No one would come here, no one would find her.
Her colors had faded during the years. She was nothing else than white, lifeless body. That wasn't going to change, ever. She was stuck there forever, nothing was ever going to change that. It was the blind reality she lived in, had lived for years.
Questions, no answers. Who was she? No answer. Why was she here? No answer. What had happened to her? No answer. Who was the reason? No answer. Why? No answer. Who? No answer.
She would have already ran out of tears, if she had ever had tears. Why would she even have cried? She didn't know anything, there was no reason to cry.
Everything was fine, right?
She wasn't waiting for a savior, there was no reason for that. No one would come anyways. No one knew she was there. No one knew she even existed, did she even exist? Had she ever existed? Another question without an answer.
How useless...
No light, it was never going to make its way down here. The darkness had swallowed the whole room. There wasn't anything stopping it, anymore. There never was. Everything was useless.
Would someone hear if she shouted?
Probably not. She was so deep in the darkness. There wasn't anyone who would have heard her screaming. She was left alone in the darkness, forever. The same things repeated in her head. She knew that there was no way out of the emptiness, darkness. She was stuck forever, thoughts started running out, she kept going back to the same old things again and again.
There was no way out anyways...
A dirty blonde ran his hand through his hair and sighed. Next to him was sitting a pumpkin orange haired female and behind them a blonde Lead Watcher. They were all tired after taking care of their siblings for hours. The blonde nurse in the other hand was still running around taking care of everything. A crimson haired Nether-born made her way towards the other three and stopped in front of them.
"This is a pure chaos!" The older Nether-born exclaimed and crashed on the floor.
"Sadly this isn't even the worst possible chaos," The younger pumpkin haired Nether-born sighed.
"Around half of The Council members are still fighting Zanax," The dirty blonde grinned.
"That's woman is nothing else than a bitch!" The pumpkin haired female groaned.
"After living with her a couple of weeks, I can totally agree," The dirty blonde sighed running a hand through his hair.
"She seems to be kinda powerful," The blonde Watcher jumped in to the conversation.

"She is," The pumpkin haired female nodded. "But she has her weaknesses too," She continued.
"This is just the beginning, isn't this?" The dirty blonde asked from the female, she nodded.
"Yes, this is just a beginning of the hell we'll push ourselves into," She agreed.
"What do you think Oneus is going to do next?" Meadow tilted her head making her crimson hair fall on her face.
"I honestly have no idea," Sherenidy shrugged.
Silence fell over the four Council members. No one had anything to say. They sat in silence for a while. Then the curtains were opened and Haylie gracefully made her way through them to the medical centers main area and walked to the four.
"Everyone is now healed as well as I can right now," She spoke out to the Main Leader's left hand.
"I see, that's amazing!" Sherenidy smiled nodding.
"More people might come soon, so be prepared," Xelqua reminded.
The blonde nurse nodded and took off her latex cloves. She quickly pulled out another cloves and put them on. Then she moved to the closets and started looking for something.
"Do we have everything we need?" Sherenidy asked tilting he head.
"I think that we have," Haylie nodded.
"Good, tell me if something runs out," Sherenidy said nodding.
"Everyone's here now," Xelqua spoke out.
"Everyone helps the injured ones and we'll have a meeting in ten hours," Sherenidy's voice turned serious.
"Got it!" The others exclaimed in sync.
Xelqua stood up and was going to start heading towards the door as something outside caught his attention.
A wing.
He was terrified. Whose wing was it and why was it there?
Sherenidy turned to look at him and noticed what he was staring at. She was terrified too, but managed to hide it.
"Go see what's going on," She whispered to the dirty blonde, who nodded and went outside.
He made it through the medical center and outside of the HQ. Quickly he was standing next to the wing. It was white, stained with black and blood. It had been ripped off of its owner.
He quickly made a magic barrier around it and picked it up carefully. He didn't want to touch it and ruin the fingerprints.
He walked back to the HQ and brought the wing to the office. He left it there and went back to the medical center. They would deal with it later.
I opened my eyes to see my room. The meeting was going to be today. Me and Yenny had to talk about the female we had seen. We had read the books Meadow had found. There has been some good information about the lost souls and such. But there were many questions we hadn't found answers to and that was making us worried. There was something more about the female that we weren't supposed to find out. And that was making us really worried.

I got up from the bed and got dressed to my Main Watcher's clothes. I quickly took my shoes and made my way out of the room.
On the hallway I saw Caton, Leslie and Winslow. I quickly greeted them all before continuing towards the library. I stopped with my hand on the door handle as I heard an unfamiliar song from the room.
"Tänä yönä taivaaseen, toinen meistä pakenee, toinen jää tänne taistelee, ai ai ai ai. Tänä yönä taivaaseen, kuka portit aukaisee, kuka uskoo rakkauteen, ai ai ai ai ai."
That was definitely Sherenidy's voice, but the language didn't sound familiar. I had no idea what the lyrics meant.
I opened the door and peeked to the room. The pumpkin haired female turned to look at me.
"What was that song?" I had to ask.
"It was a song called 'Tänä yönä taivaaseen' by a Finnish band TikTak," She smiled.
"What does the name mean?" I tilted my head.
"Maybe 'Tonight to the heaven' or something like that," She shrugged. "It's a lovely song. My favorite from the band," She told.
"That's cool," I nodded. "Oh, what about the wing?" I asked remembering the wing I had found.
"Niiden siivet eivät lentää saa, niiden silmät itkeä ei voi milloinkaan. Iäisyyden ne vaihtais milloin vaan, sun paikkaas päällä maan," The female sang smirking.
"More Finnish songs, eh?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Sorry, I had to," She smirked. "That song is called 'siivet' and it means 'wings' in English. Another great song from TikTak," She spoke out.
"What does the lyrics mean?" I asked. For some reason it seemed like it meant something that was going to be really useful information later.
"Hhm, let me try to translate it somehow," She thought.
"Their wings aren't allowed to fly, their eyes cannot cry ever. Eternity they'd change anytime, to place on the Earth," She tried. "Maybe something like that," She shrugged.
"That's really interesting," I muttered.
"There's something that interests you about that song, right?" Sherenidy asked with her serious voice.
"It sounds too familiar," I answered knowing she would understand what I meant.
"I see," She nodded thoughtfully. "But we currently have no idea whose wing this is. It's kind strange, like the owner hasn't existed in decades or something like that," She continued seriously.
"That's definitely strange," I nodded.
"We should go to the meeting room now. The meeting is starting soon," Sherenidy spoke out and I nodded.
We made our way through the door and to the meeting room through the back door. In the meeting room were only Chet, Mao, Upton, Yenny and Meadow.
"Look at that, someone let a Lead and a Rookie in the meeting room before the meeting begins!" Sherenidy pointed out playfully.
"I did it, so you can't complain about it," Mao smirked.
"I can complain if I want to!" Sherenidy said and bonked Mao on the head softly with her metallic-hand.
I walked to Yenny. We looked at each other in the eyes through our masks. We didn't need words to communicate. The Council's members were siblings by our souls and we could easily read each other.
"That's interesting," Yenny muttered. I knew she was talking about the song and the wing.
"What if the wing is her?" I asked quietly with a serious tone.
"That sounds logical.. But why would it be her?" Yenny spoke out another quiet question.
"We need to think this with the others," I said and she nodded in agreement. We definitely had to tell the other, they could help us solve this puzzle.
We nodded to each other before I went back to my seat next to Upton.
"What is this meeting exactly about?" Upton asked tilting his head.
"You'll hear soon," I teased him.
"Can't you tell now?" He groaned.
"Na~ah! You have to wait," I giggled poking his nose. I liked messing with my siblings, ans they all definitely knew it.
"You're so mean!" Upton sighed pretending to be hurt.
"I'm not that mean!" I smirked.
"ᓵ⍑ᒷℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ╎ᒷ! ̇/ᒷꖎ is being mean!" Upton cried out for our little friend groups oldest member.
"What did he do now?" Chet raises his eyebrows chuckling.
"His just being mean to me!" Upton announced. "Tell him to stop!" He continued.
"Why don't you do that yourself?" Sherenidy smirked as she jumped into the conversation.
"No!" Upton was now acting like a child. "He won't listen to me since I'm younger!" He groaned.
"Tell ᒲᔑ𝙹 or ᓭ⍑ᒷリ to do something about it, they're in charge here," Chet chuckled.
"It doesn't help! ᓭ⍑ᒷリ is just a child and ᒲᔑ𝙹 is too young too!" Upton groaned earning a deadly glare from both of the Main Leader's hands. "You're the oldest in this room!" He continued.
"It's not my problem," Chet smirked making Upton sink on the table.
"You're not fair!" He groaned.
"ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᒲᔑ╎リ ᔑ↸ᒲ╎リ ⚍!¡ℸ ̣ 𝙹リ," Mao called out making him froze.
"You have five seconds to run!" Sherenidy smirked.
Upton let out a small scream before storming out of the room with Mao and Sherenidy on his tail. The air was quickly filled with the screams of the players that almost got run over by the three Mains.
"And there they go," Chet chuckled.
I let out a slight laugh, but it died quickly as the air was filled with a different giggle. We all froze and looked at each other. Then a voice spoke out with a soft tone,
