Lost Cause - Lost Cause - 11-30-2011

[Image: 29869477.png]

It's a lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy station. I am staring at this poision. It's saying me that I want it, I am not going to waste one more second.

It smells like hell ought to smell. The perfect punishment.

"I need you."


"I'll kill you."

I am going down, and I am taking you with me.

When I find you, it won't be quick and quiet, It'll be loud and nasty. My kind of kill.

And when your eyes go dead, the Hell I send you to will seem like Heaven after what I've done to you.


I am no more, but neither you are.

They will be avenged.

The lake and the crimson tree. Motionless, an old woman sits in between. A little girl swings a wooden sword.

Metal bars are hot to the touch. Black gates stood greedily, as if ready to swallow the desperate crowd encaged within.

The girl moves towards the palace erected upon the hill, barefoot servants go hither and fro.

A child lays on the metal floor within the crowd. Black dust covered his wounds and naked body, his long blond hair is entangled with dry blood.

Through the black gates, they are welcomed by the darkness.




"I'll be waiting for you... here... so..."

I follow her through the giant arch. Sweet breeze rustling the crimson petals. My heart races as she smiles to me with her ruby eyes.

A picture on the wall, a beautiful woman very much alike the one with me, we pay our respects.


"I am yours."

I am the happiest man ever to live.



"Betrayal."

A bloody worm amidst the rocky battlegrounds. A wicked smirk... makes me want to cut his face apart.

I try to slow my heart down and breathe the fire out of my lungs. The destruction doesn't quench my bloodlust.



"It's all gonna be ok..."

Not really.

I blaze through the forest, snow covers the dark fir trees and the path which lays before me.

I feel warm, the sun still shines towards me. I see my prey approaching from the distance. The perfect chance, my bloodlust to be quenched.

Just within my grasp... away from its friends, so defenceless...

So close... Black dogs surround me and the prey. They are showing their teeth, rushing wildly around.

I give up the chase and change my direction. Think that another day without a meal, the gray fur is covered with sweat despite the cold.

"What a pain."


See another one, totally unaware of me in the shadows. Not gonna leave it to luck this time, one chance to take. This ought to be mine.

I hide behind the trees. The prey howls, calling for its mate, its neck is open for a strike.

I lunge at it and catch it from the sweet spot, it tries to shake me off... useless...

Minutes pass in silence as I drag the prey to my lair, leaving a red trail behind me on the white surface.

"It's not gonna be ok."


The fir trees standing on this sterile land wither away.

Not even the bark nor leaves can protect them from that fate.

It is the same for people loved by no one.

Why must we live such long lives?

The night is calm... uneasy like before a storm.

I enter the building, carrying a few crates. My people recieve me merrily. Warm smiles and all, but I am very nervous.

In the hall, there are tables and chairs set up. Lit very dimly.

I watch the scene from the farthest corner, hide myself in the shadows. An old man gets on one of the tables, he's blind in one of his eyes.

"One day... we will be free..."

Heh... Right.

A loud explosion. Thugs, armed from head to toe, they rush into the hall from the darkness outside.

Everyone is taken aback, no one can move a step or utter a word.

One bullet into the blind eye, he fell down and never got up.

I am leaving that hell-hole forever. Not gonna come back.

Open up, dready. I'll be right out.

I gotta get away.



I see that whore with a flaming ship, screaming around for help, telling that the volunteered workers are on a riot.

"Yeah?"

I shoot down her friends and blow off her wings.

Chained folk love that. I listen to her screams, damn witch doesn't die very fast.

The work is done, now they wanna get a ride to the lousy station over there.

Alright... I got the wheels, jump in... Little bastards.

Takes damn too long. Go there, come back, go there, come back, go there... Then, I catch them a ride to their homes. Costs me all my coins.

It's hard to be a saint, but someone has to be.

The floor under me is cold, and I lie there in a pool of blood. My own blood.

"It's a lost cause."

I feel that my life is being sucked away.

Barely opening my eyes and raising my face, I see my people... being butchered.

Thousands of us, one by one.

I try to move my muscles and get up on my feet in a rage, every effort is useless...

Someone whispers to my ear.

"The sun has set. Darkness took over."


The smell of hell is a familiar one. I breath it in, like I did my whole life.



DETNAUCIRAS



Lost Cause - Lost Cause - 12-09-2011

I open my eyes in a new world, devoid of life and light. In the sky, the sun has been replaced by a quarter of a moon.

Like it will never move from there, the moon is moored to the sky. The sky is pitch black, not a single star to pierce the darkness.

Beneath the weak shine of the moon, next to me, there is a river, long, shallow and thin.

I feel as though I should pass that river... I have to go back. It ain't gonna stop me.

The weak current does not stop me, neither does the cold waters. But I find myself struggling more and more with every step. My eyelids become so heavy that I drop myself to the river, my whole body starts to sink.

I realize now that my body is full of holes. I can feel the dark waters passing through the holes in my chest, forcing a way through my heart.

I sink deeper and deeper.

"Wake up..."

A familiar voice... One that's not supposed to be real.

A figure, covered by the shades of his black hood, and wearing a torn up cape hiding his left arm.

I know you... brother.

"Seth"

He doesn't move or say a word. I try to get up on my legs, I feel the burning sand beneath me.

I look behind me and see a waterfall as long as heavens, washing down helpless souls like mine to the ocean of the dead.

"Come with me..."



Lost Cause - Lost Cause - 12-15-2011

We have been walking for days, maybe weeks, in this lifeless desert. The night is replaced by the flames in the sky. I can swear upon my dead body that they are the angels of death, and the flames are their wings.

We never spoke a word until we reached the black gates of fate. Rusty chains were binding a three headed dog to the gates.

Seth moves his left arm forward, his cape reveals an arm without a hand.

"You, who didn't stop at nothing... Do you know what you must do now to free yourself?"

That... I know.

I look at Seth, to his arm I cut, and to the beast guarding the black gates.

I force myself towards the hungry beast, all six of its eyes are fixeted on me. I try not to be afraid, and gather up all my courage. One of its head is growling while the other one howls. The middle one waits, its jaw open, revealing cruel fangs, eager to have a taste of my flesh.

I look back to Seth over my shoulder, my left hand, soon to be a sacrifice, is shaking without control.

"You have never lived, so you will never die... Pay the price or you will wander in these deserts without an end."

"What about you?!"

"I am you..."


With this he disappeared as if he was never there, only one tracks of steps were leading to the gates.

I take a deep breath and fill my lungs with cardamine in this hell. Time to offer my sacrifice to this legendary beast... I put my left hand into its mouth.

It closes its fangs without a warning and its tongue tastes my blood. The pain is indescribable. I am shouting and crying while the dog is chewing my bones. The sand before the black gates is painted red.

The gates open wide suddenly, like the wings of a bat. Cerberus doesn't mind me while eating the flesh of my sacrifice.



Lost Cause - Lost Cause - 12-22-2011

As I writhe in pain on the ground the scenery changes. The red sand below me turns into soft, wet earth.

I raise my eyes, and in a shock, the three headed dog shapeshifted into an image of me. The me... His hand raised a bloody blade, but I realize that he's not able to strike the finishing blow.

My brother, the very same person I wanted to save from this misery, struck me down. I am afraid to die here... My carved up arm is painful, but the disappointment I feel pains me a lot more than that.

I start to run as he just stares at me with empty eyes. Too late, though, the alarms are deafening. I take cover within the orange fields, the plants are sharp like razors as always. I leave a trail of blood behind me, flowing out from where my hand used to be, and the razor cuts are tearing my clothes and body apart.

I give up trying... after this, it's just useless... I will lose my life because of my brother, while trying to free him, even. There is no point in trying to live after this... betrayal... It is sad that I will never be able to take my revenge. Cruel bullets fill my body, already at the limits. I stop struggling...

I fall down once again in a pool of blood, and I curse him in my dying breath...


"Suffer as Seth suffered, brother."
