Death as actually quite comfortable.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡeROGb4kPiV 維尼
Then again, shouldn't it have been?8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡGax1GjAJkj 維尼
It was the end after all but, somehow, it felt somewhat off.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6fFU7Ptfg 維尼
This place couldn't have been hell.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0z3vsAp4C 維尼
There wasn't brimstone. The stench of sulfur didn't permeate the air, making it difficult to breathe. There were no demons, none tactual anyway. There was no fire. It was just dark, yet green eyes could still see. It was just dark and with that in mind, he doubted that he was in Hell or even Heaven for that matter.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfFakOpOtg 維尼
There were no pearly or golden gates standing. There weren't any stairs or an escalator; no elevator. There wasn't any soft, enchanting notes were drifting through fresh air. There weren't any fluffy ass clouds floating by either. Angels weren't lazily flying by as the sung hymns or prayers.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kLOONcs1Y 維尼
It was just dark.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡebPA3Q7Gn6 維尼
There was nothing in sight.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZxcDdEbDk 維尼
Purgatory came to mind soon enough. Only thing was that if Hell was supposed to be desolate, dreary, and torturing while Heaven was to be light, cheerful and at peace, the raven was at a loss.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VZX7I80bk 維尼
If light and dark made a grey, then this couldn't truly have been Purgatory.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyC8SzDcM3 維尼
It was dark, yes but not grey. On the other hand, the raven concluded that he could've had the afterlife realms mixed up.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMPAmTWm3e 維尼
He wasn't really one to dabble in religion, since it never proved or done anything useful for him.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡF37GZUHS9l 維尼
Limbo was shot down soon enough so he sat there, alone and in the dark.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡclRnFcsZjH 維尼
**Tick-tock**8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡof7CntzyDV 維尼
Seconds ticked by before dragging into minutes. Minutes turned to moments turned to hours before it time to mesh altogether. Time seemed irrelevant. It seemed to meld together, leaving even the sense of it to become indeterminable.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYsQqgdY3l 維尼
Darkness enveloped the area. Glossy emerald-colored eyes had adjusted to it though there was nothing to see. They couldn't see their owner's hands at one point. The clothes that had once seemed visible at one point soon became harder and harder to distinguish before it was distinguishable at all. However, despite the growing loss of visibility, the raven managed to see a light shining just up ahead. Reaching out towards it still proved to be another story.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZR9nwspsK 維尼
Every time he reached for it, the beacon would disappear, leaving him to drop his hand back to his side in defeat, Dark once again, the man slowly closed his eyes as the isolation crept in on him.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG2eAzl2yO 維尼
"My, my."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvH8RSYSYf 維尼
Opening one eye a bit, it looked about to find the same empty expanse, its objects hidden from his view.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmhRfTDB76 維尼
Nothing's here…8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDbp7aROKR 維尼
"Hey, wake up."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAOnHdt2DV 維尼
Opening both eyes the second time around, the man stared at the light before stepping back as something else began to inch forward. Making it out to be a hand, he stared at the thing, raising an eyebrow as it beckoned him closer. Confused as to how he could see this thing but nothing else, he took several steps more as the floating hand appeared to grow substantially when he didn't do as told.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyCXCS8md3 維尼
"Hey, come back."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBKmyBQQAv 維尼
Dodging the hand bigger than he, the dark-haired male turned to run off though he wasn't expecting a second hand to appear, yet alone get a hold of him.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpy9aZ1kIC 維尼
"Let go!"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlZCH8GTa4 維尼
"Hey, it's time to wake op."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡET9uJnp397 維尼
What…? I'm not sleeping…am I?8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBOz9K4RZv 維尼
"C'mon, wakey wakey."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYQ84aQvoF 維尼
Watching more so than feeling the fingers unfurl, the glossy eyes noted the light up ahead before hearing the voice telling him to wake up once more. A nudge had him looking about before he started towards the only thing lighting the otherwise miserable place.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xDjqlg7bY 維尼
Looking over his shoulder to see nothing at all, he continued forward, simply slowing when a hand extended towards him. Seeing how it was normal size now, the raven stopped. Observing how the fingers curled to tell him to proceed, he finally did so, reaching out with his own hand.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q3uDNUWwQ 維尼
The light.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcUV8s8aG1 維尼
It was much too bright, much too blinding.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkjKiXtfc8 維尼
It was almost disorienting before the raven's eyes managed to adjust slowly to it.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmTNgWzAXJ 維尼
"Well, hello there."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPOSu9OUKV 維尼
Blinking once to refocus his sight, the man blinked again before bringing his attention to the glass being presented to him. Taking it in one hand as he sat up, he set the goblet down on a lacquered, mahogany tabletop prior to looking back up at the individual that had busied themselves at the other side of a well furnished room.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡgST0mkSZPg 維尼
Pictures of lavish ballrooms and fancy cladded people adorned warmly wallpapered walls. A large crystal chandelier cast a soothing and golden glow along the white tiled flooring. A double-door cabinet seemed to showcase lavishly polished swords of perhaps the highest quality while another, stationed several feet away, housed an extensive collection of books. Other doors led to other rooms though the man wasn't too keen on finding out what was beyond them lest it led to a way out.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡblzTpTdM9f 維尼
Something then struck him as off.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXIIaKvWkJ 維尼
Looking around, he rose to his feet stumbling like a newborn lamb before dropping to his knees.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxBcVi5FXa 維尼
"N…Nora…?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyeBcCzz6Q 維尼
"Hmm?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQHj6zW84w 維尼
Glancing back at the other who was now wiping their hands, the one with green eyes backed off once the other glanced at him. "W…who…?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOzb3enRJf 維尼
"My, your voice sounds terrible. You must be thirsty, Please, help yourself." The guest eyed his presented drink critically. "It's not poisoned. I promise."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VsFP2LauK 維尼
"Can't…trust y-"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YGi9CGrt4 維尼
"Trust me; if I wanted you dead, I would've killed you myself, yet alone take the time to bring you back," came the reply.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO1NVdw8P7 維尼
Bring me back…?8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMhtwVQL4M 維尼
"Do drink up, please?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3xoEX2kSW 維尼
Taking a sip of the offered item, the raven looked down at the deep red liquid swirling about in his glass. A slight metallic flavor seemed to settle along his tongue, filling his nostrils with a scent similar to copper before being chased off by a warm yet sweet aftertaste that seemed to go down his parched throat rather easily.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEPTuPfprQ 維尼
"Where's Nora?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjW7ZfeYWl 維尼
"Hmm?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAbzcrGnB6 維尼
"I know you heard me." Cringing slightly at the chuckle, he sneered. "Where?-"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo9dKMBr6O 維尼
"Luka, relax."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rrh0VnSbr 維尼
Eyes widening for a brief moment, they then narrowed. "How do you know my name?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkz7hOG9Ni 維尼
"Your wallet."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5oy7z6npI 維尼
"I don't carry one." Glaring at his host, the one named Luka looked around once more prior to glaring at the other once more. "Where's-"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKnG137ZRK 維尼
"Nora is fine."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Az0NuhCu 維尼
"Where-?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0JcYa7QC9 維尼
"Your friend is back in bed."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡZir7hOvGMO 維尼
"I don't believe you."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnJCbAbCHd 維尼
"You're a very skeptic person, aren't cha?" Glancing back at his guest, the other individual tossed a phone his way before tending his own business once more. "Feel free to call him if you truly do not believe me."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3td7bIf5K 維尼
Eyeing the device given, the raven picked it up, watching his host for a moment or so before dialing in a number.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡk13rWFAqYc 維尼
The line rang and rang some more.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtqFoCtPcK 維尼
C'mon….c'mon…8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfyPIHE736 維尼
Stealing a quick glance at the other that seemed to be rummaging through a small closet, the man focused on the call at hand.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxc9hSAIr3 維尼
The line still rang.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y0XjmkNyf 維尼
"H-hello?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfJ3D8CIYE 維尼
"Nora?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA8MdoWV4P 維尼
"Mmmm…yeah? Luka, do you know what time it is?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXIrlYLSw2 維尼
"No."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwhWfoFgns 維尼
"It's almost four in the morn-Luka?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37PWXXKdzb 維尼
"Nora, he sighed.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhsMkyv3sU 維尼
"Luka." Quieting at the whisper, said person tensed. "Are you….are you in trouble? Are you hurt? Do you need me to come get you? Should I-"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb8MHA0fJL 維尼
"Nora."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF6fJVIJoI 維尼
"Yes?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfuVUIO1Rw 維尼
"I'm fine."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrfMgstcW9 維尼
"But-"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpO4o9usna 維尼
"I'm fine. Go back to bed."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M1bFOT44A 維尼
"But"-8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWNovoxWmA 維尼
"See?" Green-colored eyes shot towards the other as the door closed. "Your friend is fine."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdZ8ljE7Gf 維尼
"Yeah," the newly dubbed Luka confirmed as he set the phone down. "Thanks, whoever you are, but I'm going to get going now."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡx014vKshyD 維尼
"You don't wanna stay?"8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrazjEc1Mh 維尼
"I have things to do."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡKztcD50aHH 維尼
"Surely you don't."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡHntyQdwB2h 維尼
"I need to get home."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiS2cQ9HaU 維尼
"I don't think you can call alleyways and benches home; that or that ratty little crack house on the other side of town either." Luka just gritted his teeth. "Then again, I'm sure Nora would give you a place, yes? Meals included."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpSqNqrfk6 維尼
"I don't have time for this," the dark-haired man groused, walking towards the door. He sneered when the knob wouldn't turn prior to listening to the lock tumblers falling into place.8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb3ptzsdi7 維尼
"Well, looks like you'll have to make time, Luka dear."8964 copyright protection385ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzZKR4TI9o 維尼
