Fic - "You're Forgiven"
Wednesday, October 30th, 2013 08:51 pmBe prepared for sad feelings again. I'm sorry.
Zisteau blinked away angry tears, letting out a ragged, staggered breath, as he tried to regain his composure. His fist clenched around the stone sword, and his body tried to reject the Strength Potion as he drank it, letting the burning, spicy liquid flow down his throat. He forced back a sob as he charged out from behind the tree cover with a bellowing roar, covering the ground between him and his target in seconds.
He thrust forward with the dull edged sword, feeling it sink into muscle and slip past bone, the hilt sliding up to the lean stomach to protrude out the other side. His target gasped, coughing out a mouthful of blood, staring up at Zisteau with confused light brown eyes.
"..." Zisteau couldn't bring himself to say anything, instead lowering his head in shame, hand shaking as he sobbed silently, grief building in his chest. He could see it in the eyes that stared back at him - he KNEW, and he wasn't fighting back.
"It's okay," the target whispered, reaching out with a pale hand, resting it on the sword hilt. He convulsed, causing the sword to slip, cutting him up even more. He coughed, and tried to still his movements, gasping for air. Zisteau gritted his teeth, unable to let go of the hilt, yet just as unable to look at his target in the face.
"I think... Ah... I think I know why... Zisteau it's-" He gasped violently again, his heart slipping away from him like water through an open hand. He gulped, continuing on weakly. "It's not your fault..." He smiled weakly, eyes dull, fine motor skills failing as his fingers slipped over Zisteau's cheek, with no strength to lift Zisteau's face to see his.
"It's not your fault," he whispered, as Zisteau pulled out the sword, flinging it away. Its job was done here. He stood impassively, numb, as the target fell onto him, no strength left to stay standing, arms wrapped around Zisteau's neck for support.
"... You're forgiven," he whispered, the last words barely audible, before his candle was snuffed, and he dropped to the ground, unmoving. Zisteau knelt down, brushing a lock of brown hair away from the delicately featured face, his face crumpling as his tears could no longer be locked away.
"Kurt, I..." His shoulders shook as he sobbed in a broken hiccup, mind racing madly. "Etho... You will pay dearly for this..." Unable to force another word out, he screamed, letting the world know his grief.

Date: Thursday, October 31st, 2013 12:31 pm (UTC)I am confused. The writing is good, so thats not the reason, but...what? XD Why is Zisteau cursing Etho now? What? Where? How? Huh?
XD I am missing the context here XD'
I can't feel sad because I don't know what's going on.
(yamina-chan. I am not at home at the moment Xb)

Eh...~

Again, i love the writing itself, but I miss the setting to get the intended reaction XD'
