Death as actually quite comfortable.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡycp1p3eRLG 維尼
Then again, shouldn't it have been?8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSRGorWvXc 維尼
It was the end after all but, somehow, it felt somewhat off.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYmQHAhzRG 維尼
This place couldn't have been hell.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd0rmPT4vN 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUkZzYunLG 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiCxufob6d 維尼
It was just dark.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYpiMyqazN 維尼
There was nothing in sight.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwEgrrCpB8 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ408QGyUrek 維尼
If light and dark made a grey, then this couldn't truly have been Purgatory.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ejDn51fKg 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eQrK2U3xb 維尼
He wasn't really one to dabble in religion, since it never proved or done anything useful for him.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JEaT6tkEE 維尼
Limbo was shot down soon enough so he sat there, alone and in the dark.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCLFTXVteP 維尼
**Tick-tock**8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOcbaneGXj 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNoXuMORfE 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡu082Lzi0DI 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡsndptzrDQX 維尼
"My, my."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BPQATShy1 維尼
Opening one eye a bit, it looked about to find the same empty expanse, its objects hidden from his view.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMN5MGFH5a 維尼
Nothing's here…8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjqVo4984D 維尼
"Hey, wake up."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDZrybq7Vg 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBPUZMOikz 維尼
"Hey, come back."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwiqkIwIZN 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgTaHp8wWv 維尼
"Let go!"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpFYkyRbXe 維尼
"Hey, it's time to wake op."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTN78H7EHG 維尼
What…? I'm not sleeping…am I?8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lckfcmL12 維尼
"C'mon, wakey wakey."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zeXNJXpF6 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gQQqqpMiZ 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhoDnQcoIS 維尼
The light.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSS8t65805 維尼
It was much too bright, much too blinding.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Oa6Oj5l6 維尼
It was almost disorienting before the raven's eyes managed to adjust slowly to it.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEZPlwlXQv 維尼
"Well, hello there."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfjw7p26wP 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUynjwwn3o 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2bGfb6umI 維尼
Something then struck him as off.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzZtz6RsmC 維尼
Looking around, he rose to his feet stumbling like a newborn lamb before dropping to his knees.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqISOYDoQK 維尼
"N…Nora…?"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07oQFtyBZu 維尼
"Hmm?"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUsvRoAoG0 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFscNhOQy2 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxBNuzacND 維尼
"Can't…trust y-"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dyQQSdXvX 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jfVxDkX0o 維尼
Bring me back…?8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cbyczYsC1 維尼
"Do drink up, please?"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡESUCx4RCHW 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡfci8eKwAzc 維尼
"Where's Nora?"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpkcaFfFm1 維尼
"Hmm?"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8V2K8IRGr 維尼
"I know you heard me." Cringing slightly at the chuckle, he sneered. "Where?-"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡksJuXJTWlv 維尼
"Luka, relax."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNnfXFHRWl 維尼
Eyes widening for a brief moment, they then narrowed. "How do you know my name?"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZkExnn50g 維尼
"Your wallet."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ZWKDiMZh 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGmMk3ba22 維尼
"Nora is fine."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡULJ37IWg5i 維尼
"Where-?"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4h4yLjFUs 維尼
"Your friend is back in bed."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd1w6KcXBs 維尼
"I don't believe you."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z8PadgmeT 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmTbJsUBa0 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡobHspQHGfq 維尼
The line rang and rang some more.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0iHmh4cb4 維尼
C'mon….c'mon…8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf24wFiNhX 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89q6jxmYxb 維尼
The line still rang.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MV7vkucZh 維尼
"H-hello?"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNtydqHSht 維尼
"Nora?"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUS2FHBTSi 維尼
"Mmmm…yeah? Luka, do you know what time it is?"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tf8RS1N6D 維尼
"No."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1z5713iYH 維尼
"It's almost four in the morn-Luka?"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj6hIszJWs 維尼
"Nora, he sighed.8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡq45OODGtRC 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDRLoXh2sd 維尼
"Nora."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8UT96fKWQ 維尼
"Yes?"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0HVC1jOue 維尼
"I'm fine."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcnKvETuUk 維尼
"But-"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJZQ7JNgps 維尼
"I'm fine. Go back to bed."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡJULdyqmMuW 維尼
"But"-8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡa77OwLZrai 維尼
"See?" Green-colored eyes shot towards the other as the door closed. "Your friend is fine."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yCdJ9rjQD 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX0IkmvdX4 維尼
"You don't wanna stay?"8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5m4yI4A5a 維尼
"I have things to do."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0g4sQMOKR 維尼
"Surely you don't."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DKWSNNwVS 維尼
"I need to get home."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfNOlo4KmY 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIXLVZdnTM 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 protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMt0CbVYf8 維尼
"Well, looks like you'll have to make time, Luka dear."8964 copyright protection498ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXIunnpL20 維尼
