Symphony of the Carrion Pigeon

Summary:

Calamity descended upon the Inpherno, bringing destruction to the skies and ground beneath. A minor miscalculation, it was said to be. A mere misstep in the process. Blackrock took everyone else with it when it fell.

An Inphernal by the name of Hyperlaser was a resident of Blackrock, who worked for the Korblox Administration as a mercenary. Colleagues described him as a quiet person. He had no friends when it happened, so the mystery of his true nature died alongside him. At least, that is what some were led to believe.

Hyperlaser is alive. Hyperlaser is alive, though not much of his flesh remains. He was among the first to receive the grafting treatment, replacing damaged flesh with metal and injured veins with wires. Perhaps there is a story to be had with Hyperlaser, the carrion pigeon.

Summary:

They speak to him.

Chapter Text

Once there was light upon this dreary world,
breathing life into a place of endless fun;
once the dazzling dawn in the sky twirled,
and in that dawn’s center was the sun.

Although now we dwell in cursed darkness,
know that one day this bright light shall return…
when that happens, it will be true kindness,
for no death fits us better than to burn.

Your eyes are of metal, and mine of stone;
together we will fall to lightless depths,
until naught is visible but yellow bone…
and quietly we will wait for our deaths.

We are similar, like blade and razor;
we deserve this, Hyperlaser.

Shut up.
I don’t deserve this.
