bring me to life in these shadows
right a world gone wrong
walk in memories footsteps
as we realize our world is gone

we've broken
we've broken
we've broken

tear me up inside
shattered dreams on crystal spires
nightmares come to life
as we realize our world is yours and mine

dashed to bits

we've broken
we've broken
we've broken
inside

A fragment of glass fell, caught in storm as it blew about. Featherlight, it embraced wind, catching dangerous edge in time's fabric, drawing itself into a spectre of what it might have been. Surfaces glinted, brushed by lightning and darkness in turn. Harmonies drawn across one another in a reflecting rainbow. Infinitas. Aeternitas. Sempiternus.

Vain's shell dropped, the window in Ayame's hallway shattering as it should have remained.

It broke, emerald flashing across its surface as brilliantly as the black that encompassed its following. Stars glimmerd as shattered fragments fell, catching twilight and embracing dawn in a moment of silent crescendo. And all this splayed across a midnight sky, a fresh crispness in the air as a feeling of spring foretold the coming of rain. Glass fragments fell to earth, diamonds of their own nature as rain descended with them. Purum. Integro. Omnis.

Starlight shown more brightly before stormwinds swept them, veiling the world in deepest night.

Softly water splashed across cheekbones, forest eyes turned skyward and a soft smile playing at faeries lips. Caught in eyelashes, moisture trickled as though tears, pouring across flamed dragon wings. An image of renewal. New beginings. A silent promise. She turned away from the home of Ayame, of Raken, feeling years older with only days to account her absence. Raken's grin followed her as she left, small footprints hardly scarring the damp lawn.
