It rained, and Amethyst stood in the rain. Why he stood there? That was a good question. He actually didn’t know. He remembered, that around two hours ago he knew why he went to this place, but now he just didn’t know anymore. He still stood in the rain, and his only piece of mind, that was not completely destroyed in the… Stop, he said to himself. Don’t remember. Leave the thinking for MIND. This piece of mind, that actually knew why he was standing in the rain, woke up. It stretched its limbs, and went to the toilet. It got some cookies and a coffee, and then, only then, Amethyst knew why he stood in the rain. He was waiting for a certain person to walk by. A person that was not noteworthy in any way. A normal citizen, doing his daily work. And because of that, he was Amethysts next target. Amethyst had been an Knight Radiant once. He had even spoken the Second Ideal of his Order, but… Don’t remember. Do what MIND says you need to do, and then stop thinking. I will remember those that have been forgotten. And I will do so by killing them. And so, on a rainy day, Amethyst waited in the Alleycity for a certain person to come by. To kill him.
Now, while he waited, he could also think, no? What was it. Why is it this exact person that I’m going to kill? IT IS NOT IMPORTANT. But… am I not an Edgedancer? Am I not supposed to help people? IT IS NOT IMPORTANT. Why. Why this suffering. Why a broken mind, no remembrance, and a mission that I don’t know, but need to fulfill. Why me? If there is a god in this world of forgetting, ANSWER ME!!!
I WILL TELL YOU. THE PHILOSOPHY OF NOTHINGNESS. DO YOU REMEMBER? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS CRUEL WORLD HAS DONE? DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN? DO YOU WANTTO KNOW?
Amethyst waited. It was eight o’clock.
At 8:30, a person crossed the street. He looked normal. Black hair, brown eyes. Works as an merchant. Amethyst knew what he would do. He positioned himself so that he would perfectly slide into a big box, filled with fruits, on the other side of the street. He took his blade into an backhand grip, and then it was just muscle memory. Activate the Surge of Abrasion, slide into the person, make the death strike that plunges right into the heart, and then… go blind. Yes, that was always not a really comfortable thing. Anyway, slide blindly into the fruit box with a perfectly placed jump at the end, grow for the box a wooden lid with the Surge of Progression, and the wait until you can see something again. Amethyst executed this process, and after that the only thing left was darkness.
