Final Heaven
By: Leia Avenrose
Rating: G

Come to me,
And I?ll light your darkness
Breathe me deep,
And I?ll make you conscious
?Cause I can give you peace
And I can make it right

Close your eyes,
Everything will be all right
Nothing to fear
As long as I?m here</center>




?Final heaven, I am without thee,? he whispered in reverence, clutching the beads closer to his breast. ?Final heaven, bring onto me what I have undone onto you. Take my breath, steal my heart. I am forever yours, final heaven. Hold me close, share thy pain; I was never apart from thee. I give onto you what you failed to bring to me, final heaven, I am without thee.?

Those were his final words, rapidly spoken, over and over. Only pausing once to catch a breath, so faint, so lithe. Streaks of crystal fell along pallid skin. Strands of gold flew into the wind, the moon leering down upon the kneeling male.

Again and again, over and over, final words to his final heaven were quickly said. His eyes remained closed. He dared not look up into the eyes of final heaven. He knew what was to come; he knew what was to come of a traitor to his God. Final heaven. It took all those who dared disobey the rules.

?Final heaven, take thee, hold thy light pure. I join with thee; thou art thy holy air, thy grace from where I have dared. Take onto me, my final breath, final heaven, for I am without thee.? His fingers sifted through the black ivory beads. Each bead passed between his trembling fingers.

There was no light without darkness. No scream without a voice.

The magic they called Alchemy was dead. And he along with it.

He lived for none other; he waited through day and night for this moment to come.

?Final heaven, bare onto me what I bare onto thee. Take thy dying breath, thou art thy holy air.? Gradually his body fell forward more and more with each word. His voice grew hoarse, his arms tired from having to hold up the beads; they had begun to feel like lead. His eyes grew heavy, his mouth going dry.

What had he done to deserve such an end?

Despite Alchemy being his life, what he had known best, he had gone against the rules. He was one of the Unforgiven. He was one of the Fallen Angel. Final heaven would no long accept him, not through the golden gates and into the Kingdom awaiting beyond the pure white clouds.

He longed to cry, cry tears of unadulterated gold.

The beads slipped past limp fingers. Black shattered along the white marble floors, scattering beneath the pews. Strands of gold flew out behind him as his body pitched forward, hitting the tiles hard. His last breath escaped past pale lips, the words a mere whisper along a cool gust of wind.

?Thou art ? final ... heaven.?

Ah...so sad. I feel bad for that guy...maybe. It is sometimes like a wave. Sometimes in a good light, sometimes in a bad light. That's what I feel for those ppl. (I do hope that I get whom it may be in the series. I hope.)

[saeki54]

...I feel the same with this guy. He holds plenty of emotion inside, that it would just do him good if he died. Or was that just me?

[Leia Avenrose]

Aww, I wouldn't want him to die. That's harsh! :evil: If only he hadn't gone into the whole human alchemy, then he wouldn't have been in this predicament with the angst and crap. xD

Hmm...you know...this is kinda a bit tricky to see just who it is... I get an Ed sense, but my little Hohenheim depraved heart is just pitter pattering away. He was the first to try it, after all. Plus...it gave me neat little questions about the Hohenheim and his disappearance. ^.^ I hearted it and the angsty emotion that hung solemn in the air.

[Leia Avenrose]

......that's right. I never gave any solid indication on WHO the ficclet is about. mowahah@!

[saeki54]

Who's the damn guy in this fic anyway?!

[Leia Avenrose]

I won't say...

[ice princess]

That's it. I NEEEEEEED to watch this series in its entirety. It's vagueness like this, wrapped in exquisite prose, that just GETS me. I loved it, and frankly, I have no earthly idea with it's about.

I loved it, and frankly, I have no earthly idea with it's about.

That's our leia for us, no? And worst of all...there are at least two striking possibilities and I've watched the series in it's full. T_T So...I'm as tortured as you are, Ice Princess. I mean...is it Ed or Hohenheim?! *sobs* You like our angsty tears, don't you, leia? <3
