《Sandboy》Adrien's point of view
Advertisement
The world is spinning and my head is reeling. Laying in this spot eases the pain and makes it easier to breathe. I try to get up and fail, I think my arm might be broken. Ladybug where are you? Who is this? A million more questions run through my mind, and just as I was getting comfortable and used to the pain the rain starts, hard heavy drops hit my bruised and broken ribs. I can't crawl away to refuel my Kwami, and my time is almost up.
Is this how I die? Cataclysmed to death by a much better, angelic, version of me? As I was drifting off to what could've been the last time I'd ever sleep, I felt someone roll me on my side and pain shoot up from my legs and into my lungs. It got hard to breathe and I thought he'd come back to finish me, but no. It was Ladybug.
She laid her head on mine and cried. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't speak. I couldn't move. All I could do was wheeze and try to live, but in that moment all the pain and coldness I felt went away. It brought me comfort that my partner didn't completely abandon me. She whispered something in my ear and left, and with her left the warmth and comfort I was feeling. In its place came pain and agony. My body violently shook as I coughed up blood.
I laid there dying in a pool of blood, water, and self-pity, as Rena Rouge and Carapace tried to move me to a nearby shop. They failed. Miserably. With every touch, jolt and pulling sent pins and needles through my entirely body. Eventually, they got me inside and out of the rain. Rena Rouge tended to my open wounds, but there wasn't much to do. Everything that hurt was inside.

I start to get up, but Rena Rouge pushes me back down
"I need to go help her," I say weakly, wincing in pain, "she can't handle.... that by herself."
"I appreciate your determination, Chat," she says, "but no. You're in no shape to fight."
I lay back down and watch as my partner fights with him. I should be out there, helping, not laying here dying. Rena Rouge and Carapace give me some privacy so I can refuel my Kwami.
"Plagg." I start coughing again. Each time it gets more violent. "Claws in."
I manage to find a water bottle and some bread. Drinking water is the last thing I want to do right now, but I need to wash all the dirt and blood out of my mouth. I watch as Rena Rouge and Carapace assist Ladybug in her battle against Sandboy and the slightly more demented and angelic version of me.
"Come on, Plagg, Ladybug needs our-" I stand up and gasp as a sharp pain pierces my lungs, "-help."
I hobble over to Plagg and give him the bread, who complains about it not being cheese. Maybe I should rest and sit this out. No, it's four in the morning and Paris can't handle any more of their nightmares.
"Plagg." I started to speak, but then a wave of nausea hit me. "Just give me a second."
I walk over to the trash can and throw up. Great. I've got internal bleeding, bruised and broken ribs, and my lungs are failing me. This honestly has to be the worst way to die.
"Hey Plagg?"
"Yes, Adrien?" He flies over to me and sat down on my leg. Obviously, he was suffering the same way I am, but he's immortal and I'm not.
"Is this what the dinosaurs felt like when you cataclysmed the entire planet?"
"Ya, probably. I'll never call them wimps again."
I almost started laughing, but even inhaling is painful. I think one of my bones is lodged in a lung.
"Plagg, claws out!"
It's time to go assist Ladybug in this battle between two villains.

In Pursuit of Glory
I felt a huge physical force slam into my back. I didn't have any time to think as I rocketed into the wall and felt the drywall dent beneath my body. Eyes wide, I groaned and began to push off the wall when, unceasingly relentless, my assailant backstabbed me with a knife to my gut. I gasped; being stabbed there is no laughing matter. Even today, with all the advances of science, a wound like that can easily be mortal. Most likely would be. I gasped for air with a snarl, funneling the wind into my lungs to help them expand after being pancaked into the wall. Nobody f***ing backstabs me and gets away with it. If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love being alive. I love it more than anything else. It’s something only a dead person can understand, and I feel myself forgetting all the time. But there’s a secret to death, and I keep it with me. Always. It’s never permanent, it’s never peaceful, and it’s always filled with regrets. But death, despite all of its shortfalls, can give a short respite from life, like a comfy afternoon nap. Death is Respite. It’s a rest for the weary. And to all those people who wander in death lonesome and regretting their broken lives - always, without fail, cut too short - I beg them to take advantage of it. I tell everyone to take advantage of death, even when I can’t bring myself to do so. --- Ciaran travels the world in pursuit of Glories, unfathomable, power-bestowing balls of golden light sequestered in difficult-to-reach places. A fun fantasy romp with a character with an unorthodox narrative voice trying to find his purpose in the world.
