I Dream Only In Black (Talis)
Black Talis lays on the couch with his eyes closed, trying to fall
asleep. Sigfreid still lay asleep on his hair. Ordinarally the
dragon would have removed the small creature, but at this moment, he
actually kind of enjoyed the company.
What a strange turn of events his sheltered life had brought him. So
many years in isolation, his only friends being books and memories.
Then a number of days ago he met Silver War, the only other left of his
kind, or so he thought at the time. She stirred things in him he
thought he could never feel again, his emotions long having been lost
in the emptiness of complete solitude. He felt happiness, sadness,
anger, joy...all at once. He felt as if tomorrow could have more
meaning than just simple survival.
But now she was gone. His library was gone. His future and past
were both burned, figuratively and literally. Now he only had the
present. What was he to do next? He had lost everything, or had he?
Thoughts rocked through his brain, his emotions pounded his heart.
Perhaps...there was still hope. That girl might have brought his
emotions back to the surface, but they were still HIS emotions. HIS
dreams. HIS life. No one could take those things from him. Not
Silver, not Jade, not Merlin, not Lucas, not humans. None other
would dictate who he was or how he was to feel. He was Black Talis,
and he took pride in that simple yet powerful fact.
