A spark of flame. A sudden movement in the calm. A ripple of life in the darkness. How long had it been since she anticipated for this day to come, counting the hours and minutes and seconds while cursing herself for being so thoughtless as to the circumstances of her actions. She could have foretold such a thing had not she been too busy thinking of her own current welfare; too busy thinking, worrying and fearing for the safety of her future. How humourous and utterly stupid she was, she who was an abstract creature being able to feel emotions and to react blindly from them. That was why she had to carry out the deed. That was why she had to take away Love's privilege. And that was why she spent the following years living in trepidation and regret for what she did.
But time has come for her to mend her faults; from the Abyss you are born, to the Abyss you shall return. Love's child has not returned to her womb and until then she would never rest easy, leaning forward upon her queenly throne and gazed down at the figure laying across the palm of her hand. Light's child, though his flesh and blood were of Abyss's; an earth creature nurtured and bred among the void and destined to serve the shadows. A mere puppet. She leaned forward and breathed onto the pale body, watched as it was filled with life and jumped down from her palms and disappeared into Light's realm below. No more waiting. It knew its purposes. It will serve its duties well. For Noctus was the child of Abyss, son of the void, bringer of destruction.
"Ach, we can only offer ye a bed now. There's a ceremony goin' un an' the cooks wont have ya till everybody leaves. Though if ye don't mind there's some ginger an' cold bread in the kitchen.." the young page prattled on as he lead his companion down several passages and corridors that separated the main building from the lodging wings, glancing once or twice over his shoulders at the towering man behind him. He couldn't tell if the man was a knight or a merchant, though he mentioned about being a wood cutter hence the heavy looking weapon strapped to his back. Nonetheless the man was willing to pay for a room to himself instead of sleeping in the dorm with the monks, and the priest not saying a word of disagreement. Not that it mattered to the young page, fingering the gold coin happily in his pocket and wondered if there was anything decent enough in the kitchen worth feeding a man of such proportion.
They were passing though a corridor on the second level when a sudden commotion broke out from the service room and soon enough a monk crashed through the door, demanding for water and the exorcist. "Ach, what for? It's just a comin' of age ceremony ain't it? Why has he gone over and faint in the middle of--" the boy argued, not realising that his charge had drifted away. The back pews were empty and people were busily crowding near the altar, fussing and murmuring noisily. Noctus just watched, unable to see anything amidst the flurry of robes and Sunday bests.
"Child of Love, have you finally awaken?" he murmured softly, standing firm where he stood as chaos steadily reached it's pitch in the room.
