She held together her broken body and gasped for breath before the foreign metal was torn from her
Screams pierced the air as darkness ate at her consciousness
Hot tears fell upon her face
A mere dream in the numb and engulfing cold
Avei's only friend had found her
And held her closely as though to capture her within himself and keep her forever
As she journeyed where he could not follow
He unwillingly embraced the sense of loss
His vision blurring the small pools of blood scattered
Like bittersweet roses on the ground
