I feel the burden of my own body pressing me to the ground. This is the only thing I can feel.
I feel the burden of my own body, pressed by water’s pressure.
My eyesight is fading away. He left me here, alone. I still was alive, but he went away ignoring my destiny. I, the Saint.
What my eyes can see is only water, it comes hunting me up from every way, menacing. It sinks me down. He left me, leaving me alone with my destiny. I, the Damned.
Little by little, every small sensations disappear. My body slowly begins to feel slight. On the ground it rests still, yet it seems to me as I can hover up above, so light. Laying on a cloud that floats who knows where. Beneath me the cold ground. It is so cold, or is it me losing every piece of warmth?
Little by little, every small sensations disappear. Swallowed up by this whirlpool , I do not want to sink, not yet. I do not want to drown. Yet, my body becomes more and more tough. It is attracted by that dark bottom against my will. It is so cold. My body, soaked in water it feels cold.
Sunset has come, and the sun dies gradually down the sky. I do die along with it. This weak beam at the corners of my eyes is the last radiance of the day. It sucks life up, surrendering to night. To death. And it is right like this. But after, what’s there gonna be?
Sunset has come. I did not believe water to be so dark, when it covers you up and imprison. Incandescent off and on beams graze its surface on, it is the dying light of the sun. I do die along with it. And after that, what’s there gonna be?
He left me here, all alone. But I still was alive, maybe I could have had a chance to survive? And she, how is she now? Is she still crying, is she still afraid? And that old man, is he up to this task? I cannot know, but if gods put him on my way, if they chose him to take my place, he should be the one. He must. He must protect her. Save her. I cannot do it anymore.
He left me here, all alone. He has been my judge and sentenced me to death. At the mercy of the tide, indifferent to my own struggle. To survive. And he, has he finally gave in to his own demon? Has he realized his true nature? If only there was me at his place, things would have been so different for the both of us. Instead, all I have is damnation. Only to me, this damnation.
He is just a man. How can he protect her? Just a man, and an old one. A stranger to everything I know and care. I could watch his wide open yes, full of confusion as I told him what I saw and went through, that man trying to get answers anon, that only time can give him, maybe. Because I cannot, I cannot do it anymore.
He is just a man, after all. So fragile, more than he can say himself. So fragile and so scared by the very himself, as no one could ever suspect of him to. His wide open eyes so full of rage, trying to get answers anon, that only time can give him, maybe. Running from those answers which only he guards. Because I’ve tried, but he did not believe me.
The dying sun sucks my shadow towards the cold, hollow land of death. That man, alone. With her. She’s so important, so unarmed. And he? Have he really given in to his secret evil? Is he trying to hurt her again?
The dying sun, climbing water that swallows my life away. That man. My brother. Will he fulfil my revenge?
He took away my cloth. One gold cloth, shall it be enough for her protection?
He took away my ambitions. Adorned in his beautiful shining gold cloth.
What if this isn’t enough?
What if he isn’t able to succeed?
That man, he is just a man. The cloth is empty.
That man, my brother. He is such a weak. And he is alone.
Athena. I must protect her. That’s my mission, my destiny.
Athena. I should have killed her. He won’t be able to.
Athena. I cannot abandon her. No, I cannot.
Athena. Have you condemned me as he did?
Athena!
Ahtena!
My cosmo will not die, I shall make it overcome death itself. For her!
This gentle source of light breaking my prison’s wall, is that you?
Athena, I leave here my body. From now on, I shall inhabit another one. My cloth!
Athena, a trident, a vase, a seal!
It is not over yet!
