When one is caught in the flow of eternity, existence seems to travel as quickly as a raging river. All cognition seems as significant as a heartbeat, and the journey is as quick and passive as a gentle breeze. However, when one is stopped in the stream of eternity, then one is truly aware of all that has been, all that shall be, and all that is. Then it becomes clear how small each being is in the scheme of things. Each soul is a pinhole within a pinhole in the vast curtain of night…
This was how the son of light felt…and in this scope of reality, this was true. Amber eyes refocused as crystalline wings flared. Light radiated from them, casting harsh rays of incandescent light in all directions, prismatic color and beauty dancing along the edges of crystal might. He landed gently, the faintest stir of the ground, the smallest cloud of dust as wings slowly furled upon themselves. They sounded like chimes…chimes in the wind, each one sparking a note that would sound boring, had it not been for the multitude. Then…then they became something greater, something substantial…something of beauty.
A soft breath escaped pallid lips, grazing the tips of fangs before becoming one with the atmosphere that nourished so many. He was here for a reason…for a purpose. He felt the rumbling of the falls below his feet, the pristine drum of cascading water echoing in his chest, and dancing through his very soul. It was said that this place was one of legendary beauty. He remarked that it was true, greenery and exotic flowers marking this site…enticing all that saw it in a way that few would comprehend. The crisp cool water, clear as well polished glass affording a view to the glittering jewels and smooth stones below. Pulmakra Falls…
White wisps on the wind, danced roguishly across his features again as he stepped forward. He had a purpose…it seemed that it was time. Steps were taken forward; drawing him closer…he knew where it was. Right now, that’s all that really mattered. Kyuusai stepped over the water, a faint glow accompanying each step taken upon the crystalline surface. Ripples spread from each step, his foot remaining the epicenter, the small fish darting away from him, swirling as a rainbow mass of reflective scales.
Upon reaching the falls, a pallid hand reaches upwards...and he steps forward. The water parts, a curtain of shimmering, thundering cool water on each side of him as his steps draw him closer to the goal. He stepped through, amber eyes adjusting to the sparse light. The room was dusty…it hadn’t been used in a long while. Cobwebs adorned the usual immaculate walls, very few vestiges of life actually remaining in this place.
Kyuusai blinked slowly…and the images flooded him….
“Hey Sierra!! Check this out!!”
A running leap, before the execution of a multitude of perfect flips and twists. Graceful in flight even without wings….even more graceful in water. The routine executed and completed with a perfect 90 degree dive, slicing into the cool waves. Laughter, female laughter echoing outwards…something joyful, pristine…happy.
Darkness descending, shadows darkening, and yet there stood, against all foes one clad with in shorts and no shirt…wreathed in indefinable blue energy…a beam of incandescent, powerful light hurtling towards a hole in the sky…
Tears streaming down ones face…a being of incredible power, 4 sets of monolithic wings spread outwards, eclipsing the light form the heavens…hurtling towards the dark angel…
Magus..
The memories were strong…very strong. Kyuusai slowly refocused on his task, reaching into a niche on the wall. A spot that had fallen away after time… His arm disappeared into it as he groped in the darkness, and finally his hand touched something solid. He smiled slightly…sorrowfully and tucked the small bundle into the pocket of his trench-coat.
1st task…complete.
The angel turned and looked towards the falls. Grinning slightly despite himself he ran forward and leapt…
The water shattered, pushed in all directions as a crystal cocoon exploded from the falls. Droplets filled the sky, casting rainbows of dazzling color and intensity in all directions…reflecting, dazzling and intensifying along the edges of the cocoon. It twirled as if in slow motion, and just before hitting the water…crystal wings flared outwards, another instance of dazzling light, and he was gone… a new inscription rendered on the entrance stone of the small room…a diamond glittering with angelic script all around it.
In Memory of Magus, and Sierra Apollyon...two bright pinholes, in a curtain of night...
