Behind the Sun [Coliseum/Open]

Mar 20, 2007 23:15

The Coliseum seemed like the exact opposite of Traverse Town, bright hot sun instead of cool twilight. That warmth was good to feel, especially after so long in Traverse. He'd begun to think that the sun only existed in his imagination. It was good to feel it on his skin, warming the automail which leached so much heat from his body ( Read more... )

It did not take long for K to feel the same terror that Ed felt rush over him. Stumbling, he leaned with one hand against one of the statues when he got to it, the other going to the scar that he had received on his chest. It was burning, almost as if someone had taken a poker and had begun to recarve it with fire.

He tried to force his mind onto the Coliseum, it's huge statues and pillars, the heat of the area and so forth, but to no avail.

"Make it...stop...."

Just like the others, the sight of the stars streaking down the skies had its effect on Claudia. But instead of driving her into terror, it filled with her something akin to joy. For she interpreted the lights slashing through the sky as God's Judgement, perhaps Her divine blessing upon the worlds by rendering them asunder. Yes, that was how her world was to be reborn as well; first there must be suffering, but then there was only bliss.

Was her world one of the many that were streaking down from the heavens? Claudia could only hope so.

"The time for Judgement is coming," She said, a pleased smile on her face. "Why are you both trembling?"

It was a rhetorical question. God always brought fear to those who knew they had angered Her. Perhaps they simply didn't understand.

Ed gasped, fighting for breath for a moment before the band that seemed to have wrapped around his chest faded a little. He swallowed thickly and then concentrated on forcing his breathing back to normal. There was blood on his lip from where he'd bitten it, and crescent patterns cut into the skin of his palm.

What had happened?! He looked around himself wildly, barely noticing his companions or the tall man nearby for the moment. He just needed to know what had happened. Why did he feel like he'd died?

Finally, Claudia's words filtered through to him and he gave her an odd look, a wild, scared expression in his eyes. "Didn't you feel it?" he asked sharply, wondering how she could be smiling at a time like this. "People... I think I felt them die." That was the only way he could describe it. Suddenly, the entire universe seemed a little darker, hope a little further away ( ... )
