The Sixth Archive
If someone had walked by, they would have seen Thaidakar slumped on the ground, face in his arms. He probably would've been mistaken for being asleep, except for the fact that he twitched occasionally, moaning.
Was he pathetic? maybe. Was he a coward? To him, perhaps.
A voice came from the glitching pattern near his side, "Thaidakar... it's been so long..."
"Go away!" yelled Thaidakar hoarsely, not looking up. "You killed her... you were the blade..."
"You wielded that blade, Thaid'." said Glyph flatly.
"Why are you back?" said Thaidakar looking up finally. His face was red, streams of dried tears were on his cheeks. His glasses had a small crack in each lens, the one on the left was more pronounced. "Why now? It's been..." he hesitated.
"It's been five hundred years, Thaidakar," said Glyph softly, sadly even. "You realize... you realize you killed me, right?"
Thaidakar paled, "Glyph... I'm broken. I'm shattered. The shadow on that one day... it wasn't what you think. It wasn't Shadow as you probably have guessed. It was... something else. It was something to aggravate a part of my mind. I've lost hope, Glyph. I'm sorry I killed you, but it seems you've come back."
Glyph buzzed softly, "the radiants were all broken. Every single one."
"They were shards of swords that could be reforged, they could be recovered. I'm... I'm beyond recovery." whispered Thaidakar. "Maybe I should give in to it..."
"You mustn't think like that, Thaidakar." said Glyph.
"I know... I know... just leave me alone. Just for a few hours. I need to... think." Thaidakar slumped back down and shivered.
Glyph turned, hovering slightly as he went away.
