The Last Door
Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent from miles
Just like animals
Yeah, you can start over, you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
So if I run it's not enough
You're still in my head forever stuck
So you can do what you wanna do
I love your lies, I'll eat 'em up
Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down eat you alive
Just like animals
~Maroon 5 “Animals”
Chapter 10
The General
Manasa could feel the heat of the flames pouring from the burning wreckage of her village, raising a pillar of ash into the sky and illuminating the carnage before her. She paused at the edge of the town, peering behind the corner of one of the few untouched buildings as she looked in horror at the unfolding scene.
She could hear the cries of the wounded and dying, and shouts of the soldiers mingled with the crackle of flames and the moaning wail of burning structures as they collapsed

The Last Door
If I break the glass then I'll have to fly
There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I'm scared of change and the days stay the same
The world is spinning but only in gray
Somebody shine a light
I'm frozen by the fear in me
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me
So cut me from the line
Dizzy, spinning endlessly
Somebody make me feel alive
And shatter me

What May Come
Manasa hefted her armload of firewood toward the house, her feet sinking deeply into the snow under the weight of her load. The warm glow from the windows of the little house up ahead lit her way through the deepening twilight. It was no wonder that no one cared if the Sentei inhabited the barren plains of Sacae – with the harsh, cold winters and unrelenting snow you had to be crazy to live here, anyway.
The door opened as Manasa approached the house and a bright wedge of light spread out into the evening.

Among the Ashes Chapter 17 Part 2
Among the Ashes
Chapter 17
Part 2
Through the darkness of the forest Marth could see Zelda, huddled under her cloak with rain pouring down over her. He hesitated only a moment before he sighed, then set off in her direction.
Marth’s slogging footsteps resounded loudly even through the rain, but Zelda did not move as he drew near. She didn’t even appear to be breathing. Under the pale light her skin appeared as white and cold as marble. With her head bowed as though in supplication, she sat; a broken, crumbling statue of grace. Even the silent tears flowing from her blank eyes looked like nothing more than raindrops running down a lifeless face of stone.
Marth stopped, just close enough to be sure she could hear, and then spoke in a calm, emotionless voice. “The shelter is up.”
The stone princess gave no indication she had heard, but for the slight tightening of her clawed grip on her cloak.
“Elice is inside. I’m going to get firewood.”

The Last Door Chp 8 - Out of the Darkness
The Last Door
It's been too hard living,
But I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
There been times when I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon' come
~Sam Cooke “A Change Gon’ Come”
Chapter 8
Out of the Darkness
A freshly fallen layer of snow blanketed the land, making the road indistinguishable from the surrounding fields. Manasa made her way through the untouched expanse of white, treading the path by memory. Only her footprints followed her through the quiet village, down the hill to the small farm nestled below.
The house looked much as it had the first time she had laid eyes on it two winters before – with the windows frosted and the thatched roof covered in snow. A curl of smoke rising from the chimney signaled that the rest of the family was awake. She would probably make it home in time for breakfast.

All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me

But soon enough you're gonna think of me

It's just another night and I'm staring at the moon
I saw a shooting star and thought of you
I sang a lullaby by the waterside and knew
If you were here, I'd sing to you
You're on the other side
As the skyline splits in two
Miles away from seeing you
So open your eyes and see
The way our horizons meet
And all of the lights will lead
Into the night with me
And I know these scars will bleed
But both of our hearts believe
All of these stars will guide us home

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down

You build me up and then I fall apart

Link lay awake in the early hours of the morning, long before the sun came up. Despite the exhaustion from his journey and the comfort of being back in his own bed, he couldn’t sleep. With Zelda’s head resting on his chest and her arm draped across his body, he wanted to freeze this moment in his mind and hold onto it forever. For he knew that, far too soon, he would be gone again with only his memory of her to sustain him.

Hold on, to me as we go

Zelda hoisted her water-laden bucket over the side of the well and paused to catch her breath. As always, her eyes wandered to the south, scanning the path leading away from her home. She squinted against the harsh sunlight, searching. Nothing but palm trees and sand stretching out into the distance.
Trying not to let it bother her, she hefted her bucket and turned for home, careful not to slosh too much of the precious water over the sides as she walked. She crossed the threshold of her house, happy to escape the scorch of

Be careful making wishes in the dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark
And besides in the mean, mean time

Burn everything you love, then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides

My songs know what you did in the dark
So light 'em up

Roy pushed open the door to the nursery, finding the lights already dimmed. Only a single candle remained lighted, illuminating the room in a soft, warm glow. A shadow moved by the side of the cradle as Elice lifted her head.
“Asleep already?” Roy asked in a whisper. He let his fingers pass gently through the baby’s feather-soft head of hair, his smile fading with thought. With all the commotion of his early morning flight followed by Jag’s return and the resulting fallout

Roy barely managed to stifle the cry that left his lips as he jolted out of a troubled sleep. Hardly daring to breathe, he rolled over to find Elice still fast asleep beside him. Even more important, he didn’t seem to have disturbed the sleeping bundle in the cradle beside their bed.
Slowly, shakily, he sat up, swinging his legs over the side of the bed. The cold tile against his bare feet sent an instant chill through him, cooling down the fire within as he leaned over his lap with his head in his hands taking short, gasping breaths. He had gotten better at pulling himself out of his nightma
