Not Quite Dead Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) IC Onamazu Haruru's tale was vaguely depressing. Perhaps more in the old toa's insistence it was a normal outcome. Did everything have to crumble, fade or decay? Was rust the only possible end for steel? "My story isn't anything too interesting. I don't remember much of my early life. Just that when I was young, my village was burnt down. I don't know why or how, but I woke up in a burning field. There were a lot of dead people around, dozens or hundreds even. For a while, I just walked around, trying to see if anyone else was alive. No one was." She took a drink from the coconut, it wasn't hard to talk about it, but still... Her throat was dry. "After walking, for hours or minutes, I don't know.. I collapsed, I don't know if I was just then realizing I had died, or what happened. A man found me then. He looked so happy. Happy that he could save just one person, the only thing I could think then was, "I want to look that happy someday, I want to be like them." It was late, she sat on the porch with her savior, he was old, so old. Tired and weary. He was relaxing, watching the stars when I came out to join him. I don't remember what led to it, but I soon asked him, what was his dream? He replied in his calm voice. I wanted to be a hero, an ally of justice. "When he grew old and died, I was given his toa stone. Since then I have sought to save someone... Anyone, I would give my life just to look and feel the way he must've felt. Full of happiness." Full of anything, really. I turned to him, young eyes shining. I'll do it for you! I almost shouted, so happy and eager I was. He looked at me and replied simply. Yes, it would be nice. After that he became quiet and unmoving. Sitting there watching the stars. I cried for a time, but I moved on. Teaching myself to be a warrior, a hero. She shook her head a little, she had been wondering off into the thought-space, right here was what mattered. "So, that's all I really want to do... Save someone, because it'll make me happy. I don't really care what else happens if I can just do that one thing. I know I'll find whatever he did."
