xinoehp512 he/him Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 "Shh!" whispered Xino. "Something's happening." ----- Silence stood outside Pheonix's cell, watching the slumped figure through the wall. His face, as always, was unreadable. With a sigh, he turned away from his prisoner and pressed a button on the wall. ----- "Look," said Xino in a hushed tone. "It's turning on..." ----- Silence watched as the Narrative energy flooded the core of the gateway, hours and hours of effort expended in a matter of seconds. Expensive, indeed; but worth it. ----- "He's coming in," whispered Xino. ----- As the portal warmed up, Silence mentally rehearsed what he would say to Star once he'd woken her up. A dozen plans were conceived, dissected, and dismissed before the portal had activated more than halfway. ----- "Be ready," said Xino. "He can't see us now, but once he steps through..." ----- He had failed so many times before. No man could do what he had done and keep his soul pure. He could not undo the actions he had taken in cold anger, either, no matter how much he regretted them. He might be forgiven. He might not. In the end, he could only hope. The light above the portal frame dinged on. With a deep breath, Silence stepped through. 2
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Star stepped in front of the portal in an offensive stance. She held the gun up, her eyes steaming with anger. She cocked it. "You have ten seconds to give me one good reason why I shouldn't shoot you right here," she growled.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Silence stared down the barrel of the gun, openmouthed and speechless. What- How- 1
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 "I don't want to do it," Star said, finding that her hand was shaking. "Just say something. Please"

"Just say something. Please" Silence hesitated, sadness creeping into his eyes. Oh, Star... If you only knew how very sorry I was. Xino's eyes widened as his brain processed the scene. "Star? Star, what are you doing?" 1
BringerofShadows she/her Posted September 2, 2019 Author Posted September 2, 2019 “Killing Silence, duh.”
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Star’s hands shook violently, but she held the gun pointed at Silence. “I can’t do it,” she cried, her voice breaking as she began to weep. “I can’t… I can’t… Oh Author... I just want to get home! I just want someone… someone to hold me. And you took him away from me. You took him. Why couldn’t you leave us alone?” Edited September 2, 2019 by Shard of Thought
BringerofShadows she/her Posted September 2, 2019 Author Posted September 2, 2019 “If you’re not going to do it,” She whispered, the drunkenness replaced with serious anger. “I will.” She summoned a hatchet and aimed for the head.

"NO!" Star screamed. She tried to grab the hatchet and ended up nicking her finger so just Narrted the weapon away. "Storm it, Shadow!" she yelled. "Let me do this myself, let me... let me... oh Author... Oh, Author, I'm done with THIS!" She screamed and shot Silence with a shaking hand.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Star crumped to her knees in a ball and wept. "I don't want to wake up," she mumbled. "Please don't make me wake up..."
BringerofShadows she/her Posted September 2, 2019 Author Posted September 2, 2019 “That could easily be arranged,” BoS said with a smirk.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Star didn't reply, her back shaking with sobs. @xinoehp512 Quote She's really done, guys. Edited September 2, 2019 by Shard of Thought
xinoehp512 he/him Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Silence's eyes widened. He moved his mouth, but no sound came out. As the lightning zigzagged across his form, he stumbled backwards into the portal. In a flash of violet flame, man, portal and all vanished into nothingness. -- Xino took a deep breath and blew it out slowly, heart rate slowly calming. "So, that's done," he said, trying hard to keep the tremor out of his voice. "What now?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Star had lost it. This time, the burns came upon her quickly. They swallowed her entire body like a wave of searing pain, ripping a screech from her throat. Star's scream echoed loudly in the corridor and she writhed in agony on the ground. "KILL ME!" she shrieked between sobs. "Just... Kill. Me..." A tremor ran through her body. The burns were even more painful than they had been before; this time, her clothing didn't allow her wounds to feel the open, cool air. She could hardly breathe, could hardly even see through her tears. "Pheo!" she cried as her already loose grip on sanity began to slip. She twisted, looking for him and in doing so, upset her burns. She yelped pitifully. "Don't... touch me," she sobbed. "Let me... rest. Let me... let me go. Let me be. Oh, let me... be..." She didn't know where she was anymore. All that was left was pain and emptiness and her cold, dark surroundings. Her heart pounded and her chest was rapidly expanding and contracting as she gasped for air. She already felt blisters popping open and she clawed at the floor, looking for something to hold. Or rather, something that would hold her. She squeezed her eyes shut and imagined it, hoping beyond hope that if she wished hard enough it would become a reality, but it was no use. She was alone here. And it seemed she always had been.
