Sejano

Minutes of Immortality
It was another day in Aeonis, the day after destruction, the sky kept singing its sad chant, strong, yet the raindrops were touching the dirt in a slow melody, the sad clouds were tucked at the warm sun, as well the sky wont give a smile for all the living, there were corpses all over arround, that gray, that gray eye that kept seeing the death.. only kept smiling at the scene.

“It is always like this... Hehe~” As he was grabing his wet coat at the freezing breeze of the morning, he was keeping his hood, yet this shadowly figure kept walking arround the mud, getting his boots full of roots and grass, then he followed his way, straight away, as the hooded creature was forcing its smile, the rain stoped for a second, yet the ambience didnt change.. “All the steps are supposed to be painful” as the creature moved his feet arround the stiff pale trees.

“This never changes... right?” He looked up, his eyes didnt blink at the sight of this gloomy sky, slowly moving his feet against a distant leafy tree, as he tapped his foot arround it, the grass was light, yet he sat arround it, covering from the nightmare skies of an unfortunate ghoul, “Heh, it never does...” As then, he reached his pocket, taking out a small obsidian clock, fragile, yet beautiful of its small shiny case, although it didnt show any beauty because of its dark place..

“What time is it...” As it opened its case, as then he heard the ticking clockwise, he didnt look directly at the clock, yet after a few moments, he closed his eyes, hearing the ticks of the clock, as he raised his hand with the clock on it, yet, an arrow flew at the side of the clock, burying the clock in the tree, hanging it from its chains, yet, he didnt open his eyes, he didnt move in shock at the situation, as it looked like if he was sleeping in a deep dream, moments passed, and alot of footsteps started to sound, as if it was dancing with the pools arround them, a few people arrived, surrounding this lonely corpse, the figures were near, as the sound of his voice sudently started singing as they aproached.

“Full of life, with all your strenght, joyfull dive with all his lenght, time is up and it comes death”

The shape of the beings sudently froze, as well the clock stopped at the same time, the face of Sejano was shown, as his hood fell with his voice full of joyand a childish smile, yet pausing as he started to feel in pain, trembling at his own cruel voice, yet there was silence.. “After the rain it comes the calm... Hehe~” he slowly moved up, helping himself with the sharp arrow stuck in the leafy tree, as he grabed the clock from it.

“Why do you have to feed my hollow desires?” As then he slowly passed between the frozen bodies, the cry of the people started to sound, subtle, as Sejano walked away from them, as he aproached the last one, he rubbed his dead hand in its cheek, telling it to its frozen ear “Because life cannot exist without misfortune, Perhaps? Hehe~” He slowly walked away from them, as then tears began to drop from the people, crying with a red tone of crimson, as then the mist lightened.

II-”But when the time carves into stone and marble...”

Hours passed, but still the day was a nightmare. The fog became light arround the pale, frozen people, making him step into the thick fog arround it, the leafs of the trees were falling as he swang his way in the path.. as the white trees started leaving theire foliage started to crumble at Sejano's steps, nature was looking in disapointment directly at his conscience, yet, the beautiful misfortune he bringed into the people made him what it is, as then he spoke to himself “Life is pointless... isnt it... father? Theres always another way..” he spoke to the endless fog, the echoes roamed arround the place, but it Sejano contained himself over the madness that it was driving into him.

The breeze stoped, as well with his worries, but he kept walking on the stone road, until his thoughts became empty, he suddently stoped, and looked into his pocket for his delicate obsidian clock, as he pulled it out and opened the case.. the clock didnt kept going, as his fingertip it touched the clockwise as he sang another song..

“Life is great to all the cruel until its day to go duel”

And with his words, the figures that he left, desperate for a cry, moved once again realeasing them from the blind dream, in that moment, the furious mob, went after Sejano once again, still, he was frigid and inmobile in one place, as he was staring at his clock.

“Get the monster!!” - One man said- ”Burn in hell like your father did!!” -as many people started replying, until one young man told words that even Sejano felt the pain, “Its always fault from the Arella family!”

Sejano sudently looked down at the fragile marble road, as he seemed emotionless, and hopeless, the spears started to rise against the ghoul, until the mob aproached him. Surrounding him with swords and spears, he froze as one small elven man aproached, charging him with hopes of decapitating Sejano.

The first attack was inminent, the head of Sejano flew over the masses, as the other elves, demons and dwarves attacked him, slowly ripping off Sejano's body, the eyes of the people became red, they became bloodlust, focusing in only one thing, killing Sejano, member by member... until the fog painted itself with red blood, untill they took every part of Sejano, starting eating his parts.

“one... two... three...” A voice was heard in a childish tone in the bushes, the ticking on the clock became more loud, as the shade was swinging it arround, reflexing the shape of war, everyone in the furious mob was reflected in it, it showed the true nature of living, the nature of revenge that theire bodies contain until its wild nature is released.

“Twelve” the last number was said, the fog disapeared, running scared from the dark sight of a trickster ... The people with theire objective of finishing the ghoul, only ended up in despair, speading the infection, acting like the true animals the living are...

“Hehe~ the last one alive is the true killer of Sejano” - it was clear, heard ringing at everyone's ears it was done with the voice of lust, the steel started starving from any blood, and the eyes became numb, as allies started swinging theire voices, a rithm with the steel, as they desired for something, that empty could be.

Quietly up in a tree, Sejano watched in amusement the fighting over the misfortune that some people can cause to themselves, “Hehe~ Life cannot exist without misfortune... but if it doesnt, the misfortune will be born over the pride and desire of a price, sometimes you dont even have to be the one wearing a blade... Hehehe~”

Sejano slowly covered his face again, leaving the croud behind, as he ran into the forest, looking at his clock... “Its time now” He headed to his home with those words, as he apeared to be in a rush.
