FallenAtlas Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Weather man said it’s gonna snowBy now I should be used to the cold The snow crunched underneath the Toa of Water. She glanced up at the greyish sky, the falling snow, the dim lighting of the moment, and sighed. Was it really winter again, had it been that long, she asked herself. The frost on her breath gave no reply and the snow underfoot didn’t either. Silence greeted her on this day. *************************************************** Mid-February shouldn’t be so scaryIt was only DecemberI still remember the presents, the tree, you and me The Toa of Air flipped through the air and landed on a tree branch. “Tall enough?” He called out to the crowd below him. A wave of disapproving shouts came up to him and he sneered at them. “Fine, fine, another tree.” He flipped to the neighboring tree, taller than its brother. “This one?” The crowd gave a positive roar and he grinned. “Yes! Finally!” He dropped from the branch, his mask glowing to control his descent. On the ground he looked for her and smiled. “Like it for New Atero Square?” “Perfect,” she said. “Like you.” ************************************************** But you went awayHow dare you?I miss you The soft limestone felt comforting under her hands as she passed through the arch. She held back tears until she passed into the field. Stones stood in rows, each with a name and a symbol. Few she knew. All were mourned. She wiped away a tear and continued along the central trail to the center of the field. Not far now, she thought, not far at all. ******************************************************* He held his arm to his chest, gripping his weapon tightly. His cracked chest armor showed a rapidly slowing heartlight. His body heaved as he coughed. “Guh...guh….” She pulled him into his arms, tears falling onto his body. “Hold on, please, hold on, they’re coming,” she whispered to him. She knew the truth. He wouldn’t make it. “Dah….Did...we win?” He gasped. His eyes looked up into hers and she nodded. “You did it. You saved us.” “I-I…..love……” And she sobbed into the night. **************************************************************************** It really sinks in, you know, when I see it in stone She leaned her head against the stone, her mask rubbing gently against the inscription. “I miss you,” she said to his memory. She laid the air katana down on the grave and sat for awhile with him. A warm wind blew around her, and for a moment, she could’ve swore it was him hugging her. 4 Quote Short Stories: A Chance Meeting | The Destiny of Teridax | End of An Island | A Conversation | Hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiriamu Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 A sad but sweet story. I honestly have a hard time deciding which of the male Mata/Nuva I like the idea of Gali being with (never mind the Master/Uniter versions) but you did a cool job of herxLewa.

The G2 versions, essentially; apart from the names they're almost entirely different characters from the G1 versions.

Master Inika Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Nice little story. Not familiar with the song, but the lyrics fit very well. Only criticism I have is I'd read a longer version of this. Have you considered fleshing it out more? Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times. Your past is forgotten, and your future is an empty book.
