Deimos
THE RESURRECTED SWORD
How did you survive? they ask
How long did you suffer?
how dark did they tint your dreams?They emerged – unscathed and liberated. Hellhound form shook the renderings of dirt and debris, then he shifted back to human form, glancing over the other figures in his group, and watching as Amalia readied the troupe of unicorns. Now Zuriel nickered to them, and with his gaze back on the horizon, he saw no reason to push on. “You are welcome to stay.” To explore, to continue in the heat, in the scorching lacquer, in the electrified outlets. “But I am done.” There wasn’t much else he could do, other than rest, mull the situation over, and return later.
“I think that –“, and he pointed to the storm still burgeoning beyond them, “needs to be saved for another day.” When they were better equipped, enchanted, or understood what they were up against. He could battle a multitude of elements for a lengthy amount of time, but the feeling that their modest fortune had run out lingered, seethed against his bones. He’d stretched his luck many, many times, and had suffered consequences for it. There was no need for it now, not when they could restore, discover more tactics, for a future threshold.
So he and Zuriel turned, following fellow equines and Shields, frustrated by a lack of answers or discoveries, but not for their survival.

- until you had blood glistening on your teeth
- until your suffering paled in comparison to their own
- until you learned to enjoy the sounds of screams
