kh_drabbleChallenge: none.
Title: Lunatic Pandora, parts 9 & 10 of 12 (1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6, 7 & 8)
Word Count: 200 (total, two 100-word drabbles)
Notes: This is a twelve-drabble series, each a hundred words, under a single title. I'll be posting them two at a time for the next few days. Saïx-centric, or, more accurately, my idea of who he was before losing his heart.
Overall rating is ~PG-13 for slightly disturbing imagery. Also, parts of these two were previously known as Addled Impasse. It's sort of the mad scientist mother of this monster.
*SPOILERS ABOUND*
IX. finality, the breath of storms
Their claws are cold, slicing gashes in both flesh and soul as he tries to escape, howling in impotent fury. It is too late to discover that he does not want to follow this path. They sink impossible fangs into his chest, shredding away his shirt and skin to reach his heart. He is drowning in pain, still weakly struggling to lift his useless weapon, when they drag him to the floor.
There is a tearing, then a rapturous gibbering that grows louder as the beat of his heart grows softer, further away – distant thunder being swallowed by the storm.
X. the wheel turns too quickly
He falls, his body stretching and warping in the darkness; losing its shape, form, and function. He fights it, finding unknown strength from somewhere deep inside his mind, strength enough to recoil from the void, to hold fast to the human form he took for granted would always be his.
He howls into the nothing, refusing to fade.
Unknown time passes as he holds on for (could it be called?) life, until suddenly there is rain and cold and bare stone under his knees, and a man in a long black coat stands before him, holding out one gloved hand.
