Blood Brothers

by Elizabeth Ann   Jan 20, 2005


Auth Note: Experimenting with a joint pair of immortals. Whereas I\'ve only ever wrote for just one at a time...

**********************
Hitherto mine, older brother, gone afore my heart marches.
Since impassive every day’s last to be thus, a lengthy immortality, and these years begin to rob me of my will so I’ve named you None for all the soulless never known me.
So what shall I use to cure your evil of this world after I’ve already done?

Save for ye, younger brother, I stand alone... Timeless for how long this torpor lasts.
Since this life you’ve given me, abandoned what warmth you’ve ever left me.
Very well...blood against blood, lives of all companionable hate.
Should it break me whilst I’m already undone....
So be it.

Come what may, lest our dread despair us idle, the world remains our mutual haven.
Thence our reign as two, a world of greater mystery.

    Great job. I love the language you use, it really adds this atmosphere of a different world to the reader elping them to understand the speech and text.
    I also love how you worded the lines. The symbols you used really expressed the emotion you were trying to ring out and it definetlly worked.
    I especially admired the lines,
    "Very well...blood against blood, lives of all companionable hate.
    Should it break me whilst I’m already undone....
    So be it."
    There was so much beautiful meaning behind those symbols. I loved the whole piece, great job
