Accursed miracle

[mat13295]

"They call it a miracle. That I'm walking proof of the divinity of Eos and the stars above."

"...Why did you have to curse me with this gift, Myrine?..."

"I remember it all so vividly. That cursed blade of Sacrosia ripped from my hands, Erika standing over me with it poised on my neck as the screams and whispers for the spilling of blood ended. I remember the looks from the few soldiers able to see it happen in the chaos. Solemn lament for another soldier falling in battle, upholding her vows to the end."

"I remember awakening in a void, with no ground beneath my feet and only the emptiness of space before me. I saw soldiers, Osronan and Elysian alike awakening and following behind me in one final march to a destination none of us knew about. I saw Erika and Ezekiel both awakening behind me. It was then i knew my duty was over. That our final assault was over. That my home would live on. I was at peace, for once I felt not a single splinter of pain from my battered body.

"And then...A figure cloaked in black, with white locks of hair and a face I didn't recognise approached me. In hushed whispers he told me to go back. That i wasn't allowed to be here."

"Then...I woke up, to the sounds of sobbing and crying. To the body of the woman who gave her life for mine being carried away before i could tell where I was or what was going on. Awakening to the sounds of an orphaned child wailing in grief. To an entire church full of faithful followers praying while souls and spirits wander and stare at the soul that had escaped death."


"...It should have been me that stayed dead. But crying and weeping about it will only disrespect her memory. I live now for her and Osrona. To save the lives of others with this second chance. I refuse to accept my true end until the debt is repaid, Myrine. My promise to you for this cursed gift you gave me."
