there's no religion that could save me
no matter how long my knees are on the floor
i'll pick up these broken pieces 'til i'm bleeding
if that'll make it right
Find Rhonen.
Rhonen... Why was that name familiar?
Kill him.
A chance meeting in the meadow, a handsome chestnut stallion; the scent of erect male sex, the feel of each others tension like electricity between them.
Save us.
Us? Nihlus ground his teeth together in hatred. Us? Though he might have considered there being an essence of us with Carnage when he was only a boy, working for no reason to bring the world of the dead back to reality. He may have had an us with those who survived the ordeal, including his aunt Wrynn; but decades had passed, and when Carnage's call had come again in the form of a shard last year, he had declined it.
Now, the call came again.
FIND HIM. KILL HIM.
KILL HIM.
KILL HIM.
NOW.
His eyes went to Nuage, who clearly had had the same message given to him. "Stay here with the girls, Nu." His lover seemed to protest, but the larger stallion would not hear it. He'd always been a bit of an asshole that way. "I'll be back later."
--
The truth? He had no interest in killing a man he once trysted with.
In the same way, he had no interest in saving him - knowing the fray that would be answering Carnage's call, he knew he had no chance.
But he girl, the child, the daughter - she could be saved. Although the dark god hadn't intended to let a sliver of the girl's figure into his broadcasted image, he had; and the image became suddenly irresistible. Nihlus was a father of two these days; two perfect daughters. He had their faces and their personalities and their everythings memorized. He loved them in a way he'd never imagined possible; and though he never knew Rhonen, he knew that he loved his daughter that way, too.
It would be impossible to save his once-lover. But he may yet spare his child.
Standing outside of the fray, Nih was subject to some collateral damage from the frenzied fighters; but he ignored it as best he could with a grit of his teeth, eyes searching madly through the bodies for one much smaller. She seemed to have been pushed away from the others by a seemingly well meaning mare, who, of course, attacks Rhonen after the moment of mercy. Well, so be it. He knew when he came that he could do nothing for Rhonen.
Exhaling once, and inhaling a last, the stallion surged forward into the fray with eyes only for the girl. When his mouth found the base of her tiny shoulders, he spoke: "Close your eyes and give me your trust, girl. I will keep you safe."
Not waiting until she replied, Nihlus closed his eyes, too.
--
They awoke on the Other Side, steam rising from their mouths in the frigidity of the Astral Plain.
"Follow me."
Hurrying - for his connection with the places of the dead weakened when he returned his grandmother to the living - he brought her forward, navigating this parallel land with confidence and worry. He did not want to miscalculate and send them to their deaths in the ocean when his connected wore thin.
Luckily, he calculated well; and as an utter fatigue overwhelmed him, he and the girl Noah found their refuge in the oases of Ischia.
