Chapter ten: Death or Revival
Eiko looked down at the dragon scale
in her hand then at Yu. He had a worried look on his face, but he turned away
as she had looked up at him. This left Eiko to ponder why he wouldn’t look at
her, “It must be because I had said
something about it......well...of course that’s what it is....I sound like I’m
an idiot......” she gasped. “But,
wait-a-minute! If he didn’t say that his tattoo meant something else or that it
wasn’t that....then....he’s....he’s an.....” she
gulped. “An obit!” her mind went wild
and she almost dropped the scale.
Setsuna looked down at her and said,
“You......you an Yu must be the ones...”
Eiko blinked and stared up at
Setsuna, “Must be the ones for what?”
Setsuna sighed and glanced over at
Rose and Lavitz, and then back at Eiko. It took her a moment,
she seemed to feel both saddened and agitated at the same time, “Guess.....”
Eiko had followed her eyes towards
the knight and Rose and she nodded, not taking her eyes off of the site. The
she gazed up at Yu for an answer. She said nothing, her eyes asking the
question, yet he didn’t respond in any way, shape, or form. Eiko sighed and
stared back at Setsuna, “What happens......or what will for that matter....?”
Setsuna had had her attention on the
dead Rose and the shivering and emotional Lavitz. Her eyes flew to her, a few
moments after her statement and then at her feet. She sighed and replied, “The two of you
must use the dragon scale to revive Rose....it will drain half of both of your
lives...but you will still be able to live it like you always have......if only
one to revive her....only a wisp of their life will be left....being too frail
and weak, they would die.....but, we can rejuvenate what is lost....”
Dart glanced up from Lavitz’s side, “Why
not use an ‘Angel’s Prayer’ on Rose? It’d same time and life....and....pain...”
Setsuna shook her head, “You cannot
revive one struck by that blade.....the Dragonbuster.....with a simple,
over-the-counter item....”
Lavitz’s heart fell into the pit of
his stomach. Would Eiko and Yu revive his beloved? The one he cared for more
than anything else in his entire life?
Eiko glanced up at Yu again. She
could see it. In his eyes. He was scared. Scared horrifically for his life. He wanted to say no, but
he couldn’t bring himself to even move his lips.
Eiko sighed and looked at the
knight, his face lined and stained with tears. He had cried and cried and was
even crying now. He’d cry forever if she didn’t do something....knowing that he
loved Rose more than ever and judging by what Setsuna had said she decided she
do it. She’d revive Rose herself.
She stood up and looked at the
people around her. Everyone of them waiting for
another movement. She looked at the woman, limp in Lavitz’s arms and took a
deep breath. She walked towards them, unsure of herself and unsure whether the
scale would actually fulfill their wishes and hopes.
Once she had gotten to Rose, she sat
down on her knees and looked down at the bloody wound in her side. The blood
had stopped flowing now...but the wound spread and kept spreading, through the
impulses in every being’s skin.
For some reason, what to do came to
her with out her even having to look back at Setsuna.
She held the dragon scale above Rose’s
head and thought simply nothing but the thoughts of giving her life away to
Rose and it happened.
A blinding blue flash hit the area,
brighter and warmer than what the white one had been.
Yu’s heart raced.
Lub-dub.
Lub-dub.
His heartbeat went wild and slow
motion fell upon them.
Lub-dub.
Lub-dub.
In only a few moments, Eiko would
almost be dead. Dead. Yu fought with himself on what
to do.
Eiko could feel the life drain from
her chest and every vein and artery that had crossed paths in her bloodstream.
She felt like screaming, the drain pained her. She bit her lip and clear tears
slid down her cheeks.
Lavitz’s mouth dropped as he watched
through the shadows of the light. Eiko was experiencing excruciating pain.
Nothing that anyone could dream of would match such pain.
The light blinded him and he had to
close and tighten his eyes.
When the light had fled in a
dazzling array of a firework blast, everyone looked surprised at the two
figures that lay beside Rose and Lavitz, both touching the scale.
Eiko felt more than a wisp of life,
but she felt extremely exhausted, her eyes rolling around before she was forced
to closed them. She gasped! Yu lay beside her, his hand on the scale as well.
He had transferred some of his life into Rose to keep her from dying.
She feel
off into a sleep.
Rose stirred, but she didn’t wake
up, he chest moving in a rhythmic pattern once more.
Lavitz cried out and threw his arms around her, in a massive hug.
Lumiale gasped as well and looked at
Setsuna, whom had begun to take the king off the wall, “You have to be the
biggest liar I’ve ever seen!”
Setsuna had unstrapped his ankles
and looked up at Lumiale, “Excuse me...?”
Lumiale felt overwhelmed with both anger and happiness, “You wouldn’t have been able to
revive her after that....Eiko would’ve died!!!!”
Setsuna smiled and began to unstrap
one of Albert’s hands, “She would’ve....”
Lumiale raised a curious eyebrow and
thought to himself for a moment, “What are you implying....?”
Setsuna grinned bigger and had
undone the strap, beginning the next, “Isn’t it obvious.....Yu knew that........and he saved her.....I knew......I also knew that he would save
her...and that he did.....”
Lumiale laughed a bit, “Oh....I see
now.......but what would’ve happened....if...?”
Setsuna stopped smiling, “I don’t
know.....I really don’t....” The straps came loose and Albert fell on top of
her, being asleep from a sort of famine, “But if you don’t get over here and
help me hold him up, I’m not sure if your going to be
as lucky....”
