"Tamashii no osore: 'The Great Wall' Arc"
ACT 1: The Warmth of The Non-Living.
on the grasslands of our planet terra, I toke a walk. the sun was taking its time.. sitting, & so do I.. walking. there wasn't any specific place to which I'm going. it was just.. from all the people I knew, there wasn't a face, that I wanted to see..
without me noticing, the sun suddenly vanished, it wasn't the time for the sun to bid its farewells 'till the next day though.. it's all because of this wall.. the great huge one blocking the rays of a melting sun, along with the other half of our world. it was nothing for me to be surprised of, for it's my habbit to take this route daily. the more steps I make, the more taller the wall take.. it as if the wall wanted to be one with heaven..
I wonder, whether this wall a bless from the holiest heaven, or a curse from the depths of the underworlds.. it was due to the ragging wars, that this wall was built. It marks the borders of the two warring kingdoms. Kingdom of Geraneia, & our Kingdom.. Ossa.
I closed my eyes.. raised my hand, reaching the wall out. it was like I wanted this wall to dissapear.. but then, here stopped my hand.. unable to do anything, but vainly pushing it, with bitterness envading all what's on my face.
dunno why I didn't want to take my hand back, so I started to walk along with the wall, keeping my hand on it. they say, all the non-living beings are cold, for the souls r the source of warmth, which they lake. but this wall here.. was filled with warmth. Is it the blood that this war been sheding all these years? is it the souls that were sacrificed for the sake of the so-called justice?
or is it the eagerness of the wall itself, to get freed from this immortal stand?
Darkness toke over all the place.. & the wall got less warmer, & more colder. I stopped there, & sat, laying my back against the wall.. a will of sleeping got me, I really wanted to sleep back then.. but I couldn't. I entered a state in which I was not sleeping nor awaken. but what I heard back then, really awoke me!
there was that voice.. or actually that cry.. coming from the other side of the wall, a voice of who I can tell was a Geraneian young girl..
