Excerpt:
Darkness—that
was all I could see. I looked down, trying to catch a glimpse of my feet as
they trampled upon the unseen ground.
An
invisible force pulled me while I listened to the sound of many voices. It was
bitter cold; my fingertips grew numb with every step I took. It was quiet
here—too quiet. My heartbeat sounded like drums softly played by weak hands.
Something
lay in the darkness ahead of me. My eyes squinted in an attempt to better
visualize the unrecognizable. My breathing failed once I realized it was her—it
was Nephele.
Emotions
stirred within me; rage shadowed my mind as I approached her body.
She
attempted to stand to her feet, feebly moving her arms. It was apparent that an
invisible power pinned her down. My wings made their way out of my back as rage
continued to take over. I grasped my sword, marching in her direction.
I knelt
next to her. Our eyes met.
Without
hesitating, I pierced her left hand; blood flowed like a waterfall. Her body
trembled as she opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came forth.
You deserve to die, I thought, standing back
on my feet. The memories of all the pain she had caused me played over in my
head. I placed my right foot on her skull, pressing it against the ground.
I sank my
sword into her chest. I was clueless of my whereabouts, but happy to know that
my mortal enemy lay here, defenseless.
The sound
of her slowing heartbeat invaded my ears. I lifted my foot from her head,
kneeling next to her once again.
“You see,” I whispered in her ear. “Even with all of your
dark powers, Nephele, in the end, you will never win.”
